Yay! Thank you.

My new mantra."

Awww!

Would you all vote again if I did that?

Lol. If I could do that, I wouldn’t have needed help picking a focus!! *Overly Dramatic Sigh*

I can't even vote and I can't stop watching."

There was a bit of jockeying, but now there is yet another tie!

Hi guys & gals, another POLL: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...

Looking for a series to read in 2019; poll closes in 48 hours. Would love additional input.

Thanks in advance.

If you join the group you can! Hint hint hint. ;)

Participation is optional. The only concern are random requests from other members to please vote on their polls ( but they don’t hunt you down if you choose not to).

Nope. They created a 4-way tie instead. LOL

Christa wrote: "

There's a consensus so far... LOL"

There is now a three-way tie! O.o

I forget books all the time too!

I was looking at some of my early reviews, and since I go out of my way not to add spoilers, I couldn’t remember what the heck I was talking about. LOL!

LOL!

I loved Clean Sweep! Not sure why I haven’t gotten around to the other two books as yet.

If Innkeeper wins, I’ll have to find a second short series for when I’m done.

Codex Alera only has 6 books, but they’re 700 pages each, so I’d need the whole year to complete them on time.

:)

I realized this morning, that I had forgotten to add two other “started but not finished” series to the list.

I was tempted to edit the poll, but didn’t want to mess it up.

Thank you! :D

I forgot to add a "personal checkbox" so that I could watch the poll results without influence, so I thought no one was answering it. lol

Because I can never leave well enough alone. Please help me pick a focus for 2019:

It's much more difficult than I would have imagined!

I swear, if I knew then what I know now, I would have gotten my shit together the first time I went to college, instead of being an indecisive twit! Granted, I was working full-time then too.

I feel like I've lived my life "bass-ackwards"!

Thanks, DP! :D

2019 - Just Read Dammit!


I have no real goals or expectations for leisure reading this year. My focus will be on completing my Bachelors of Middle-Grade Mathematics Education.
So, reading 12 non-school or work-related stories will be a bonus.

**********The (I Didn't See This Coming) RESULTS**********

Nyssa marries Lois Lane!

Nyssa and her wife Lois Lane, along with their Five Children and pet Tiger are moving to Louisiana!
Being a Wedding Planner to the rich and famous just wasn't fun anymore, so Nyssa has moved her family into the boonies and is now planning weddings for the Swamp people. Good thing she invested in that flying coffin, its a bit hard to get into that rural swampland. Thanks to Lois's reporting skills Nyssa is sure to be the Redneck Wedding planner of the year!

That's a good point. Plus, I do want to make a point of interacting more even when I'm not reading. I miss you guys when I'm "gone."

:) Thanks. That's a good take on it.
