Owww Ela, are you taking anything for the pain?

[Grey]

So excited, it's almost The Score time *giggle*

[Grey]

Ela, so sorry girlie, are you taking anything for your foot?

[Jennifer]

So I decided a re-read/skim of The Deal was in order to get ready for The Score and I'm standing in line at the grocery store reading with a big grin on my face... I forgot how funny Garrett and Hanah were!

[Cheryl]

Finished The Score. I had to re-read/skim the previous 2 books first to remind myself about the characters/events and about Dean.Loved this book. Had funny, sad and real life situations that the previous books did not encounter and a different kind of ending. Now anxiously awaiting Tucker's book. ;)

[Jennifer]

5 old books to 8 newly purchased books read for me in January...I have to d better than that if I want to make a dent in my TBR books!

[Ela]

It's not painful but annoying! I have a new cast for another 3.5 weeks Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Grey]

oh Ela, you poor thing, I've been thinking of you! How has your reading been going?

[Ela]

Heya! Thank you!!!! I miss chatting on the boards but I'm trying to work from home and it's beein draining. I'm listening to books when I can so now I'm on a KA binge. I'm loving her Ghosts and Reincarnations series.

[Jennifer]

Well the good news for my efforts in the reading challenge of 2016 is, in February although I only officially read 7 books ( Fallen Crest was the first 3.5 books in one and the All Souls Trilogy was almost 600 per book- but I digress), but 4 of those books were on my TBR list of books I'd purchased over a year ago and only 3 new books. The bad news is, I purchased 36 books in February....I see why I have so many unread books on my iPad...I'm close to 500 now...geez!

[Jennifer]

With the reading challenge I'm not so good with buddy reads but trying to follow Anne's challenge recommendations. And following through for March to finish a trilogy....I'll read Rebecca Donovan's Out of Breath. Had it forever and finally inspired to read it.

[Leslie]

@ Jennifer - Enjoy... this is one of my all time faves. Its un-putdownable.

[Jennifer]

@ Leslie I just finished Out of Breath...it was brilliant. I was concerned with all the negative reviews I'd read but the author did not disappoint. I loved it and felt like I made the right decision to wait to read it. 5*

[Ela]

I guess everybody is on Maryse's :)

[Ela]

I have lost my reading mojo and desire! What is going on? Am I going through a "7 year itch"?

[Leslie]

I think for me the problems are:

1. - I'm very limited on my genres. I really only like contemporary romance

2. - There are only so many storylines you can have in contemporary romance and after you have read hundreds of them it's a big fat snoozer

3. - Most importantly...I'm menapausal and bitchy so pretty much nothing pleases me at this point.

[Ela]

Well that sucks!

[Ela]

I still have diarrhea!?

[Grey]

Oh my god Ela, really??? you poor thing!!!

[Ela]

I wish I was shitting you...the docs know nothing!!! I'm here waiting for a damn referral for 2 weeks!
