Dear Stephanie,How do you read so many books? How are you able to keep everything straight? I only have the four or five challenges here on this site and I can barely keep up. What's your secret? Do you have a time-turner?

I'm a really fast reader, not as fast as others, it's sucks sometimes because i will find a series I absolutely love and I will read it to fast and will have to wait ages for the next one to come out. Also I'm a big planner, so I have list for for what I'm gonna read to what I'm gonna read for a challenge. for keeping everything straight in my head, I try not to read more then 1 book at a time or sometimes 2, i especially read 2 when I'm rereading books like what I'm doing now. I'm currently rereading
and reading
I might add a third book sometimes if the others are a little slow going or if i feel like my reading is slipping and i need a pick-me-up.
I'm almost done with
on audio. I'm loving it. So well done. Don't be put off because it is rated "G."

A trope is a plot element or characterization that are used over and over in fiction, like friends to lovers is a big romance trope. If you have time to waste TV Tropes.org is a really fun website of how tropes are used throughout fiction.

Reading new stuff has come to a screeching halt here since we're getting the place painted and everything is in boxes and bags and stuffed into the spare room. I've reread

and am now reading

Oh, I feel for you, Sandra J. **sigh**
Earlier this week, I finished the ARC of
, Book #3 of the Unrestrained Series. The book was just released today. Great end to one of my favorite series!(Note, for those who don't know me, I'm the editor of this series. Hope it's okay for me to post about it here; I don't want to break the rules.)
Now I'm working on books on my TBR shelf. Just started
That's fine, Michelle, as long as you don't keep "pimping" it over and over. BTW, I'll see if I can fix the series option link on book #3 of Unrestrained Series.

Completely understand. Will refrain from further pimping, unless another member asks a question. And, TY for checking on that link! :)
I finished

.I haven't started anything. I want to start my Feb challenge books tomorrow and I don't want to be in the middle of anything else. I'd say that I might catch up on housework or other things but I'll probably just spend more time on Goodreads. :)
Lisa Kay wrote: "Oh, Bran New Death looks good, KarenF. I'm into mysteries recently. (Already read the AQ one.)"I really liked it. It's the first I've read by that author and she's got another series that I want to read now too.
I read the first book in her other series and liked it, too.
