Catherine wrote: "is this the same as the August 1,2,3? kind of?"Close. Same thing except instead of 123 you can use higher numbers. 234, or 789 etc.
I'm having a heck of a time getting started on this one this time. I seem to be reading lots of #1's and #2's lately. Hmmm, at least there's still September.
Yes, Connie N., thank goodness for September. I need to get to my last book!
I'm hoping to connect books #4, 7 and 10 before September ends. I suspect that might be a tad optimistic, but I can *try, right?
oh...so then I messed up in the 1,2,3 challenge...I misunderstood...and thought the 1,2,3...meant you could keep going..lol..I went up to 6 I think. I did start at 1 though...:)
Hey, Catherine, you're just an overachiever--nothing wrong with that!And, Barb, I applaud your enthusiasm. Good luck with your challenge-within-a-challenge.
Thanks Connie :) I have the books sitting here, I just need to find the time to read them all - after I finish my other September challenges and the new release library books that I know I won't be able to renew. Yikes!
Catherine, Connie is right that just makes you an overachiever. A few people do the 123 and keep going. This one was designed for those of us that don't always start a new series every month.

Yay! Done. I don't know why I love this challenge, but I do. Maybe because the ducks are so cute.
Congrats, Catherine!
I'm feeling the pressure to finish some other books in September, so I'm going to consider this one done and wait until next time for my 5th in a series. Thanks for the fun.Ducks in a Row (August-September)
