yes! I 'm trying to decide what to read. I think I 'm going to read Rise of Memphis November Chronicles (Rebel and a Saint Book 11) Kindle Edition by Kitty Kendal since it doesn't meet the page requirements for UNO and I want to read the last installement for UNO ( which will work)
I 'll finish that tonight if I don't fall asleep first then I think I 'm going to read Night School (Jack Reacher, #21) by Lee Child before the challenge starts. I have been missing my favorite "book guy" Jack Reacher!!


message 75: by Laura (new)

Alissa | 324 comments I don't know all of them became available for me to start first thing Weds. I'm going to probably start all of them and see which I can't put down. Moon Called will probably end being first b/c it has the shortest checkout time with the library.
