Hahaha you're welcome, Niki! I should be able to finish An Autumn War by Sunday or Monday (which is my birthday!), fingerscrossed! :D It's too bad I can't get those BR points but I'm much a faster reader this way

Yeah great job guys! ^_^

[Diana Stormblessed]

Miche you overachiever you. Keep it up :-)

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

@Miche: Are you new to Penny Reid?... I subscribe to her newsletter, and recently found out her future writing plans... I was worried, with Knitting in the City and the Winston Brothers wrapping up soon... but it looks like she's expanding on the townsfolk of Green Valley, Tennessee (where the Winston Brothers live)... and giving Cletus Winston and Jennifer a Cozy Mystery series (so 2 spinoffs)... that should start in 2019/2020

This week I was reading easy books, so I was able to do some fast reading. :)

However, I am now back to Malazan, so this week and maybe the next one will be much slower.

I don't remember reading her books before, but I will probably continue the series as I liked her style. :)

Sometimes I need something fun to read.

Everyone is a beast, the BR point is a massive boost xD
