-politician - they're following a political campaign to win the US presidency

I won't have another book this week, and I'm good with whichever card the group wants - since I'm a lower volume reader on this team I should be able to find a spot for my book on any card.

Oh no!! I had a couple of "easy" ones that I'd found in there too, but had thought that ones not on the list would also count as "tricky" - My mistake :/

Good to know - I'm trying to find a book that can ease me into reading horror but won't make me lose more than 2 hours of sleep, just haven't found the right one yet.

How did you like this book? It's on my to-read list but not in my city's library system, so I'm on the fence of putting in the extra effort to get a copy.

Good so far! I'm on track to finish a book by the end of this week

I took a peek at the mini challenge - have something lined up with Loon in the title :)

I'm starting to tackle a really long one, so I'll probably stay at just my target of 1 for this week

I do like using the app for checking notifications and reading threads, but when updating my books or writing comments I definitely prefer the website.

My internet was out for a while on Friday though it wasn't for long, and even then I found myself using (maybe too much) data on my phone to stay connected.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Laura! I had an early gathering last week, and one more today. Hope you have a great turkey dinner!

I'm still on track to finish my book today or tomorrow morning before Week 2 officially starts.

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend!

I'm scheduled for 1/week, and should finish my first by the end of this week. Snowstorms=stay in and read

Happy reading everyone! And good luck on your first day Linda!
I'm starting my first book off today (timed the finishing of my current read a little late)

I'm thinking a few paperbacks first when I get a chance in the evenings
The Love Academy &

I think I'm going to start with The Bootlegger's Confession because it's the one I've had from the library for the longest :P It also fits 2/3 for a lust Sin Bingo, but unfortunately doesn't quite make the cut

I see very dark purple, though may be more black?
