Are you enjoying it??

Added Blake's book but I'm having trouble finding the other one. I found a Leïla Slimani but none of her books seem to be translated into English and none of the titles resemble. And there's like a million books with Lullaby haha.

[Cat]

Having a good time :)

It is that author, let me see if I can add it to my shelf for you!

On shelf, hope that helps!

[Eldarwen]

That cover popped up in my search but with a whole other English title. Very odd!

Thanks! That makes it much easier :-)

Glad to hear you're having a good time!

[Eldarwen]

I'm going to finish Lover Awakened tonight - what a read :-D - and then I'll start something else tomorrow. I'm considering Sarah's Key, which could work for the R that is left. The author is shelved as Rosnay rather than de Rosnay. No guarantees on finish though I should be able to, considering there's still 5 days left.

Which makes me realise that I forgot to count a day or even two last time I posted how many days were left for this month. No clue where my head was at that moment haha.

I'm currently reading Playing for Keeps and going through it much quicker than I thought I would. It will fit or our remaining R.

[Eldarwen]

Alright ladies, it is almost the end of the month and April is just around the corner and with that already our last month of this challenge.

Can I get a check-in from everyone please?

Thank yoouu :-)

[Kelly]

Hellooooooo :)

[Cat]

I'm here!

I'll be finishing Lullaby today, Three Crowns in next couple of days, and remain unsure about whether I'll finish Second World War before end March, so do replace with a finished A if we get enough.

[Eldarwen]

Sure thing, Cat! Will keep it in mind :-)

[Cat]

Finished Lullaby

L title

[Katie]

I'm here! So we've just got A's left? I can take one of those with my current book...Full Moon Rising by Keri Arthur. Should finish it up today or tomorrow. :)

[Eldarwen]

Fantastic, Katie! Is the book any good?

With that one, what we have left is:

L - 1
A - 2 1

(Since Cat isn't sure she can finish one of her A's, we have 2 of those left to do.)

[Kelly]

I’ve got an A in the the book I’m reading In the Small Hours. I’ll have it finished by the end if the month.

[Eldarwen]

Sounds good, Kelly!

[Louise]

Reading The Titan Drowns with an L character. Need to finish it by month end

[Eldarwen]

Getting there!! We have one A left to fill.

And finish all the books we have on the go for the mini challenge, of course :-)

2 more cards left to finish as well for the March hands: Savana (reverse) and Ashlee (4).
Replacements are available in case those two books aren't finished on time - one never knows when life might get in the way. We'd need 2 more books for the mini challenge in that case though and those would be A and A, what else haha.

[Ashlee]

I WILL finish mine today. I have just 10 pages left, but every night I pick it up, I fall asleep. Lol

Overall, I really enjoyed it! The female MC was a bit promiscuous, even for these types of books, but the author explains why and how it's part of werewolf culture, so it didn't bother me that much.

I'll get it posted today. :)

Yay, I'm not alone!! ;-)

That happened to me last week. All. The. Time. It was starting to be really frustrating. I didn't even manage to read more than two pages, or watch an entire episode of something.

Don't worry though. If you fall asleep half-way through your remaining pages, you still have a couple more days haha.

Hmmm, ok. I wasn't sure whether I should pick it up or not. I read Darkness Unbound a while ago and only once i started did I realise that it was a spin-off. It was decent but I wasn't sure whether I wanted to get into the Riley Jenson series as well. Still not even sure I want to continue the spin-off series I started haha.

Full Moon Rising

Did they have others, and we could look at shuffling around?

[Katie]

Sure they did. I'm super tired right now, but I'll check tomorrow! :)

[Cat]

Cool x

Finished Three Dark Crowns

[Eldarwen]

Don't worry about it, Katie!

I moved Dark Skye to an A slot and put Illegal Contact into its previous M slot.

All our mini slots are now filled!

We'll only have to finish our reads :-)

[Katie]

Great! Now we can relax for a couple days before April. :P

[Kelly]

Just checking. Is my book counting as an A? I will be done by end the March but if it’s not needed I may slow down the reading and let it count for April.

In the Wee Small Hours? It's down for the mini, yup!

[Eldarwen]

It is down for the mini, yes, but if you want to slow down the reading and do other things for a bit, maybe Katie has another book on the go that could fit? Because you know, she wanted to relax but..... *grin*

[Kelly]

No no it’s fine. I have a long car journey tomorrow and it will be finished by the end of Saturday easily!

[Eldarwen]

Sounds like you have a plan :-)

Hope you're enjoying the holiday!

Lol! I actually do have an "A" I could squeeze in, but sounds like Kelly has it under control. This month I'll hold off on finishing my current books until April starts! :) Shouldn't be too hard since it's a holiday weekend with family coming, so who knows how much reading time I'll find anyway.

[Eldarwen]

Good plan!

Mmhh, I'm so looking forward to the holiday weekend! Mostly because Monday is a day off, which is always nice. :-) Easter is fairly quiet here, but we're also a small family, so I'll have some reading time, unless my friend decides to move forward a few days her moving, then I might be busy on Monday.

Please get your remaining books finished and the completion posts posted before the day is up.

Here is the Countdown to the start of April. Before this timer runs out, completion posts need to be posted.

Thanks, ladies!

And then get ready for April, which will be crazy! We have a LOT of coloured cards so it should be interesting, to say the least ;-)
