Question: What if you pick a crappy book for this challenge (unwittingly, of course) and you don't want to be bothered with finishing it (because to do so would be akin to repeatedly throwing your body against a razorblade-lined wall and then cannonballing into a pool of alcohol)? So....what then? Do I pick another, or just be one book short on the overall challenge?
I'd pick another one, Kyra. There have been times that I've come up with a list for this challenge and not read one of them LOL
Groovy! I'll do that then. :) Thanks!!

*snicker* I thought it accurately conveyed how painful the book was. ;) And it's good to know: #1 I'm not the only moody reader, and #2 We can change up books if needed. Wheew!

wow, surprisingly the book doesn't have that many 2 or 1 star reviews!
@Kyra:I'm such a moody reader that I almost never post any books in advance. I just read whatever I feel like and then see if it fits any challenge. Of course that means that sometimes I don't finish a challenge, but since we are a challenge impaired group I don't worry too much. :D
pmsl Kyra. I just laughed so much that I had to explain to my mum what you wrote. I never stick my lists either I normally want to read something different.

I know, right?? People must be smitten by the dirty talk. That's all I can figure. Or James. He's a moron, but still likable in his tough-guy-marshmallow way. ;)

Soooo...wait. Are you saying I didn't have to post my books in advance on this challenge? *perks up* *moody side preens* LOL Why do I envision my list constantly changing throughout the month??
