You're still going hard into the home stretch, Sheila. You're ahead of the field by more than a full length now. Great job! And thanks, as always, for the story reviews and ratings. I always add a bunch onto my TBR list from your listings.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Debbie, excellent results. Keep up the good work. Woohoo!!! Keep you seat belt on and enjoy reading while on the plane. Safe travels my friend.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to all! We're at an airport hot spot now, waiting to board for the first leg of our cross-country flight. (It's delayed, of course, but still should get us to the next airport in time to catch our connecting flight.)
206 [book:Pemberley's Christmas Ghost: A Pride And Prejudice Variation|33280058I have to agree with everyone else on this book. To much sex and the only thing i liked was the way it ended
Didn't get the chance earlier, but still need to get my belated cheers in. Way to go, Lenora! Hit the big 2-0-0!!!!! And still going. :)
Fantastic list of recent reads, Sheila. I see three that I need to investigate further. Thanks so much for rating them, too.

Delays are only tolerable enough with your Kindle, right? :)
Hope you made it safely to your destination.

Thank you, Mary. Although flying IS the safest way to travel. It's the car trip to and from the airport that's dangerous!
Laughing - you are so right! Drivers today are crazy with zig-zagging in and out and no turn signals, etc. Glad you are safe, also.
208 Ghost of a Pemberley Bride: Pride and Prejudice and WitchesOk but comes to abrupt end leaves you wondering wth

I looked at the description for that one and thought it sounded interesting, but I find such a high price for such a short, short story pretty off-putting unless it's really excellent. Since it doesn't sound more than just "OK," guess I'll pass.
Reading 208 books IS a fantastic achievement, Lenora!
Does anyone know why I am getting this message?There was a problem saving your comment: {"redirect":"/user/new?remember=true"}
OK this time it posted but when I tried to comment several other times I was getting that message in pink above my comment.
I was trying to post a congratulations to Lenora about her progress. Lenora, it is great that you are still finding time to read and post at this time of year. Happy Holidays.
Hmmmmm... Sounds like crazy computer-speak to me. Glad it righted itself somehow. When in doubt, reboot. That usually clears up problems.
209 Miss Bingley's ChristmasI liked this. Miss Bingley found her true self and she was a nice person
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone and thank you for the congrats thou most of the books have been very short stories this month to clear my tbr list
