Thanks!

Yeah... Everyone's doing great. At this rate we'll all be done before t..."

I'm hoping to make that mid year goal too, but don't know that I'll start over. Good luck to you if you do though. :)

Oh, you finished Pacifica! Yay!

[Nancy]

I made a point yesterday to go through my want to read shelf (alphabetically, of course) to pick books to read.

I only had one book that started with the letter K.

[Nancy]

Jenny, that’s awesome!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Thanks Nancy :)

[Nancy]

I finished my U.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Great job Nancy!

[Victoria]

Great job, Jenny, and Nancy!

[Nancy]

Thanks Jenny & Victoria!

I started my I tonight.

[Nancy]

I finished my I book last night and am am at 16 books!

[Karen’s Library]

Nancy wrote: "I finished my I book last night and am am at 16 books!"

Yay!! You’re on a roll!!!

[Nancy]

I am starting a book with a title that starts with 99. I am debating using it for my N (ninety-nine) but I have an N book all ready lined up so I will probably use that one.

The other N book also qualifies for another challenge I am doing and that is a TBR challenge. You have to read books on your TBR list but nothing added in 2018.

[Karen’s Library]

I just realized I'm reading my N and F books. Woot!

[Nancy]

Karen wrote: "I just realized I'm reading my N and F books. Woot!"

Who hoo!

Nancy wrote: "Karen wrote: "I just realized I'm reading my N and F books. Woot!"

Who hoo!"

My F book is 14. 😝

[Nancy]

That’s another fun book!

[Karen’s Library]

Nancy wrote: "That’s another fun book!"

I loved it!!

[Karen’s Library]

Got my F and N. Holy schnikes, I'm at 21 already!

[Nancy]

Wow! Karen, you are doing great. I just finished another S. A lot books star with S.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Great job Karen!

[Nancy]

I started my T.

[Karen’s Library]

And I’m reading my C!

[Nancy]

I was looking at my list of books I plan on reading in April and only one book was an A-Z challenge book. So I had to change one book to get another book in.

Then I was looking at my May book list that I started this morning and there were zero books. So I had to change a book on my A-Z list to match a May book. Then add another book that fits the challenge.

Also, I am in TBR challenge and you can only read books that you have on your TBR list in 2017 or earlier. No 2018 books. So I try to make sure I can overlap both challenges.

Whew, the planning is exhausting! LOLOLOLOL

Hahahahaah Nancy! Sounds like it!

[Nancy]

I finished my T book and I am at 17 books. But I will be reading another T book next. 🙄

Added K to my Kindle challenge!

[Nancy]

Whoot whoot! Jenny

[Victoria]

You're doing really well, Karen, Jenny, and Nancy!

I haven't added any new letters recently. My reading time kept getting interrupted by nurses, and I'm still working my way through the massive books in the "A Song Of Ice And Fire" series.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Thanks Nancy and Victoria :)

[Freethings]

I've been reading comments and I noticed that I need to check my Want to Read list. I usually just read what ever I'm in the mood to read and then fill in my A to Z Challenge list with whatever fits. Last week when updating, I noticed a lot of letters that I have already used. Ok, time to go plan.

I just checked out the unabridged audiobook of the first book in that series from my local library!

I hear you, Victoria! I did that last year and barely got this challenge done in time! Lol!

That's what I've always done too. But this year I took a different approach and started looking for books that were harder to get and started out with those. I just finished book 23! I think I may be doing this challenge twice this year! 😳

[Nancy]

Book 23! Wow, you are doing amazing, Karen.

[Nancy]

I have been stuck on duplicates. S, T, W... I don’t know why those letters are so popular.

3 more to go! 😝

[Nancy]

Wow! Karen, that is awesome.

[Karen’s Library]

Thanks Nancy!! I just need to buckle down and find those 3 letters and read them soon. 😝 I think I know what to read, I just need to slot them into the amazing books I’ve got coming up! Then I can start over! 😂
