Thanks, heh. I read fast if book appeals to me and those I chose for challanges this month do (except Historian by Kostova - I can't seem to even look at it right now...). I must say I doubt I'll complete all challanges this month (see: Historian by Kostova). Well, trying would have to suffice...

Well, I didn't really have a choice. That is, if I want to play fair. It's the oldest book on my TBR list... Why I added it in the first place I can't recall, heh.

"If it's too much, just drop it. I hate doing that, but sometimes there's nothing else to do. And my oldest TBR read turned out to be the best book I've read this month. Ha! Sorry, didn't want to rub it in...
Don't mind me, and hang on there.
I hated the Historian too and didn't even bother to finish it. I don't usually ever do that but life is too short to force myself to read a book I hate.
I actually liked it.. but I listened to it... so I don't know if that made a difference or not. It was interesting more towards the middle and end.

Heh, so many different opinions... I'll try to read it. I still have a little, tiny bit of hope it won't be awful read... Maybe it'll be just boring. I can read boring. Boring won't be bad. Please, please, let boring be the worst scenario...
Eh, I just chucked another book... Once in a while you'll run into such bore, chins up!
Wish I could chuck the book I'm on. lol But I don't feel like finding another book to fit the category, so since I'm half way through gonna suffer and stick with it figuring it's got to improve by the end. lol (There's a HEA in there somewhere though at halfway through the book they still both hate each other.)

Shazzy, I know you loved Magic Strikes! but did you enjoy Angus, Thongs and FullFrontal Snoggine because I love that series. georgia is a mess and that darn cat is so funny.

P Penumbra - Keri Arthur (Read 8th)
R Rob Thurman - Nightlife
I In heat - Felicity Heaton (Read 14th)

Thanks, I completed the monthly challenge over on the PNR group and thought I'd have a look over here. It helps me decide what to read next and I do love to read...
Stick around, Michelle. We will give you plenty of reasons to read...LOL

LOL...Goodreads, for us readers, should come with a warning: Highly addictive and can greatly impact one's TBR list ...LOL
