Sadly, I think I'll have to sit this challenge out :( I don't know how much reading my new uni course entails so I'll have to get on board with the Winter Challenge instead.

Good luck everyone!

That's okay Angela...I'm sure you'll continue to read through the thread as people finish their books - and I'm sure a few will be added to your TBR!! ;) Good luck with uni, I'm sure you'll do really well:)

While travelling to LAX, as well as stuck in the limbo that is US Customs, I finished my second book, the second 11. TBR, Star Trek: The Original Series: No Time Like the Past, with my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show....

I also started on my third, my first 5. April Fools' Day Also Known As.

[B the BookAddict]

Finished my second book #9 (an amendment) The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman quite a super Y/A novel. 4★

[Steve]

I have finished my third book, my first 5. April Fools' Day, Also Known As, with my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show....

Up next is my first 1. Labor Day, Vengeance in Death.

[Rachael]

After my false start (reading one before Autumn officially started) I took the easy route and read the humourous book (April Fools Day) first and finished it! Sophie Kinsella I've Got Your Number Now started on my Moomba book Open by Andre Agassi but as he says that he hates tennis right from the first line it is not seeming like the "happy, fun activity" I thought it might be. Oh well, interesting anyway.

For someone who hates tennis he made a pretty good job of winning for a number of years! Imagine all the work that goes into training for a professional tennis player and doing all that without loving what you do at some level!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You've been busy with reviews, Brenda, and with your reading! I haven't even started this challenge yet, unless I count the 2 books I've read in March so far as two of my TBR's...but that doesn't seem fair to start with them, somehow! And there's plenty of time - I will be starting my Irish one - An Irish Country Village - next week, I think...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Enjoy whenever you do! And of course, as long as we're enjoying what we're reading, how and when we tackle our lists doesn't matter, I guess!
