Yikes! That stinks! Fingers crossed for April!!!
We'll likely get another mini challenge this month too so we'll need to hunker down for that again too if we want to stay in the running.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Thanks! I've bookmarked the post and will start with reading for those.


message 618: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments How do you bookmark a post?


message 619: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 396 comments Hmm what colour would you say this is?
That colour thing hates me lol

Good Me, Bad Me by Ali Land


message 620: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I would say it's yellow but the color thingy usually tells me I'm wrong


message 621: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments But it looks like an interesting book. I was just bragging about how I picked a book off my TBR instead of browsing and adding more to my list....yea, I've been browsing....I'm still not entirely sure how it happened....

*slinks off to browse*

It's looks yellow to me too! I can't do the color extractor at the moment because for some reason, the crazy book cover won't download. I have it on my TBR though! :)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Jennifer wrote: "How do you bookmark a post?"

I guess technically I have a page bookmarked with links to my various challenges. So for this challenge, I have it linked to the post with the books I have claimed so I make sure I read them first.

Wow thats weird, its usually the other way around!


message 628: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments So the BF is packing for his week shift and I'm busy picking out books :-D His shifts this month are the first week and last week of the month which I think is great because I'm hoping to get a healthy jump start on the month and then I'll have the last week to catch up if needed.


message 629: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Perfect!!! Isn't it awesome when his work schedule works out well with your reading schedule!

IKR?!! I noticed that I See You by Clare Mackintosh came out here later too! hmmph!


message 631: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 396 comments That's why you should follow Berit's plan and open an audible UK account lol


message 632: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments I really should sit down and do that!


message 633: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 396 comments Haha more expense!

I think Berit says its a lot cheaper though, you pay $14.99 a month for 1 credit right? UK is £7.99 which is $9.89 for you

LOL!!! Yay you!! I want to read her Bad Mommy this month but my dang library doesn't have it so it looks like I'm going to have to buy another one :-p They are probably really liking how many new books I'm donating lately!


message 649: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 396 comments it really is a fab read


message 650: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments Call Me Princess was pretty good....it was a high 3.5. It wasn't one that sucked me in like Too Late but I felt the author did a good job keeping it moving and it did have a couple unexpected twists but I felt like the ending could have been a bit more.
