Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

That was a good one! I really liked it! I'm reading my QQ .

Yeah, I've heard it was good. I'm looking forward to it. You enjoying your QQ?

No I didn't like it that much. I didn't like the world ,the paranormal stuff, the story line nor the romance! I gave it 2 stars

Welcome to my world, Susanne.

I have a quick question for the quick stop letters. The book I'm thinking of reading for Q is in the Quincey Morris series. Can I use it since the series is called Quincey Morris and that's the main characters name as well? I'm only asking since that feels kinda like cheating lol.

I'm going to jump in and answer your question , Manvir!
No it's exactly what quickstops are about. You can use that book

Thanks ShoSho! I had a feeling it would be okay but just wanted to double check.

Susanne I'm further behind than you so don't worry you're not alone :-)

We can cheer on each other! I finally picked up my K book and it is very good so far.

Lol! Me too! I have so many for the letters I've already read xD xD

I know, this has made me much more aware of double deckers. I made a little place on one of my bookshelves in my bedroom; I'm calling it "Next Year." LOL!

I've been thinking about it too. I think I plan to take the bus backwards next year, start at Z and go to A.

I was thinking doing that too, Dawn! Maybe we should make it official...

Oh! Yes, yes, yes! I agree. ☺

lol, we do like doing things backwards here in RLftCI :-)

Yup. ☺

LOL. I was thinking it would just be easier, not having to fit those weird letters in at the end of the year while your trying to finish everything else.
