Nichole | 620 comments Oooh, exciting!! Or scary if you have social anxiety like me, lol. Still, I'm excited for you!

Jennifer | 92 comments Haha, I definitely have social anxiety. I don't even actually start my job until the 24th but they decided to send me to the conference anyway. I don't even really know exactly what my job entails. I'll be meeting three of my coworkers at 6am at the airport for the first time on Wednesday.

I'm shitting bricks.

Aricia (autumnaleaves) | 104 comments By the way, can you add Witchlight by L.J. Smith under the category "read a book with witches?" I'm hoping it counts because I read it on the fifteenth, but I wasn't aware that it fit under any groups until now. Lucky us, I suppose! :)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 143 comments I have to take my bf to the doctor and then I have an appointment myself, then lol it's back to wait with him if he hasn't been seen which he wont because it's a walkin clinic and everyone knows that takes forever. I'll see what I have when I'm back home. Lucky for me my child is at a play date for at least another 4 hours, fingers crossed we are not at the dr that whole time.

Nichole | 620 comments I did find a Red 9 that I can read. I've read it before though. We still have 3 color cards, well 2 really because I'm about finished with one of the Yellows.

So we are looking for a Yellow 3 or 8- my book works for either. And a Red 9, if anyone has one of those!

Yes! perfect! I came up with 54.5%, either way it's more than 50%!!

Well the other Yellow book that I was going to try to read is an HR- The Leopard Prince (Princes Trilogy, #2) by Elizabeth Hoyt or Because You're Mine (Capital Theatre, #2) by Lisa Kleypas which has to get approved because it's not quite 50%. Stupid!

Or maybe a reread...
Where Dreams Begin  by Lisa Kleypas - have to get approved, only showing like 48% yellow which is absurd to me.

Tell me if any of those get approved and I can read the same book, and help you out :-) can I read the series books out of order?


message 1125: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Well, I do it all the time with HR, lol. I'm pretty sure with those it won't matter though. I don't really remember any big story arc happening in the first books.

We only need 1 more Yellow though. I should finish the other tonight. I can read for it, unless you really want to:) Aricia knocked out the Red for us! Yay!

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) It's up to you, I'm good with whatever :-)

message 1128: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Ooohh, I'll add it then!

Let me see if Because You're Mine (Capital Theatre, #2) by Lisa Kleypas gets approved. I have that one on audible already :)
