Good for you, Susan. But...man-oh-man! I still haven't found my specially ordered book. Hopefully I will when I clean for company coming tomorrow. :o)
It's probably in the freezer.
I haven't been able to work my JJ book into my reading yet. I seem to do this challenge in little spurts.

Thank you, Lisa Kay! I've set up Julie James new book as my JJ and that's keeping me motivated - cannot wait to read it! After that, I'm holding my breath that I keep up :)
It is funny how that works. I do that too, saying to myself, "If I just get through this book, I can get to that other book." LOL!
Lisa Kay, did you find your book?
I finally got another one. Hopefully I don't get stuck on JJ for a couple of months now, lol.Double-Decker Alphabet Bus (Z-A) 2014
