Congrats, BJ Rose and Lady D!! Wooohooo!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thanks, Lisa Kay. I'm only done with one part, but that's good that I got that part done.

[Lisa Kay]

Yes, well done on the top part. ☺

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thank you, my dear!

Awesome on the done part! You're so busy and in so many challenges, I'm not sure how you finish any!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Thanks for the support, Dhestiny! I had to change my format for the seasonal challenges because I wasn't able to get them down as easily lately. I have to work around review books, so that makes it hard to select books deliberately for challenges.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I totally understand! Louise threw me off when I got 3 in the mail after months of nothing. Had to scramble to work them in!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Yeah, that is tough. I end up with a really horrible repeated cycle of procrastination every month, where the last few days of the month and through the fifth are crazy because of review deadlines!
