I'm back and I'm so, so sorry for not having checked in here for the last couple of days. But as I said I was on vacation. Sadly all things Went wrong and we are back home now a couple of days earlier then expected.
Five minutes Before meeting up with our som he called us and informed us that his dog just passed away. Then when we was about to go to bed that night, the bed broke down. Then an accident in Town took down the Power line. So we didn't had Power, internet, tv etc.
I'm sure I've missed a lot and need an update. I finished a couple of books but I have no idea how they fit.
Maybe someone can help me out and tell me what we are supposed to read and how things are going for us?

Hey guys just checking in. As I said I'm not at home this week. But I will be online as often as I can and update my bookshelf. I finished FIRE IN FROST but I am too tired to write down all the characters. Will do that tomorrow.

Oh, okay. Didn't see that it was already taken. And also I read the example wrong. But what now? We do have to spell the word, right? Sorry, worked nightshift and on my way to work again. I might be a little slow.

Can I read by Alicia Rades. "A" in the author's name and blue in the title?

Did we already get more info about the next part of the challenge and I've missed it?

Yeah that's me. I don't care about distance in miles, I need to know how long I will be sitting in the car. When my daughter was a little girl we used to say: We are going to drive for 3 cd's and then we are there. It worked quite well she never asked: Are we there yet.

Alright how about this one ? A full arm on the cover.

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to this trip. We are going to see our son. It's a five hour drive but hopefully it won't feel this long. I don't like driving for hours. But in the end it will be worth it seeing my "boy".

Does it make sense to sign up for a book filling the arm in the cove spot? If so I could read .

Yeah, that message really got to me. I know I signed up for 2-3 books per week. But now I'm reading much more because a) hey it's a competition, b) I challenge myself c) I haven't read a lot of books around 100 pages before this challenge. But it feels good to know that it's not we dragons causing a problem.

I will be away for the week starting next monday. But I will have internet whenever I'm not out for sightseeing or shopping or sitting on the beach. I will sign-in as often as possible and read my share of books.

Thanks for trying, Shannon.

I would like to read Denn mir entkommst du nicht for the Book into the Distance 251-400 pages if the spot is not claimed yet, since I have to read it for a review. It's 321 pages.
