Hanie, This challenge doesn't start until October 1st. Any books read before then don't count.

Ooooh, Hanie, that book looks good! But alas, as Alycia said, you can't count it because this party starts on Saturday, October 1st.

Too bad, you'll just have to force yourself to read another smutty book! LOL!!!

So how's everyone doing with this challenge? Finding any great new books you might not have otherwise read?

I am a complete airhead!! I totally forgot I signed up for this challenge!!
Sorry:(

Well, the month is ticking by pretty fast. I had a cold for the longest time and I don't know if I'll get to my first party listed. Plus, I misplaced the book invitation to party #4 in my fevered delirium.

Well, I have to admit, I ended up with so many books to read for review that I haven't gotten to my ONE AND ONLY Party yet, either :(

Maybe I'll make that my priority before it's too late.

No worries, Becky!

I haven't been able to crash any party yet. Security is high in all your parites. :)

Review books have gotten in my way too. I think I'm only going to be able to do 4 out of 5. At least they are complete. I'm trying to say that I don't think I'll get to my 5th book.

No worries, ladies!!! I know life can, and often does, get in the way of fun reading!

Should I make it a Thanksgiving Feast Challenge?

Yes, please. :)

Honestly, part of me has been considering making it a monthly or quarterly challenge, much like the All Things Seasonal Challenges.
