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

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.

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.

You know, I really suck at this challenge. However! There is hope for me. Today I started stacking books that will work for next year's return of this challenge. Be warned. I'm getting prepared. ☺

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 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 :-)
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.
