End of January does work better for me but I can juggle what I need to to make things work. I am the keeper of my time.

As it is right now, I'd say I could do it on both these dates. I'll let you and Christelle decide :)

edit: End of January should work for me as well!

Christelle | 472 comments OK, it's official, I have done something nice this year, because I've just been rewarded, again, with a nice gift :

I should be good for Life After Joe whenever you guys are ready. I have deadlines, but I can't stop reading. :-)

I'm waiting until the end of the exchange to get the book since I'm still waiting for my Secret Santa, though. SS sent me a question, so I'm waiting patiently.

Ok everyone 'Life After Joe' starting Jan. 26 and I doubt it'll take more than the 26th and maybe a little while on the 27th it's only 115 pages approx. so we won't even mess with Lila's deadlines too much and we'll comment on Josy's thread just to keep her on her toes ;)

Kelly (Maybedog) (maybedog) | 75 comments Gmail's spam folder is inconsistent, too. I get some messages from some companies and other messages from the same companies go into SPAM. It all has to do with what the filter detects in the message, i.e., words it deems as spam like penis.

No, I can't deal with that first book: the infidelity no matter how fake the marriage or confused the MC, the promiscuity, the inaccessible emotionally MC, etc. Yuck.
