*****CHALLENGE COMPLETE 4/30/19*****

[Jennifer]

Congrats! Twice was my limit too... then I started The Roots of Fear and Obsession Challenge and am back in the boat all over again.

[Connie N.]

Then you might as well do this one again, right? Use each vowel twice, for separate challenges.

[Jennifer]

John Jr is putting ideas in your head.

[Connie N.]

And who better to listen to? Unless maybe Elvis? And since his name starts with a vowel, I'm sure he'd be all for it.

[Jennifer]

Fair point... although in the case of J. J., I don't really need him to say anything, if you follow...

[Connie N.]

Gotcha! You've been sneaking peeks at my TBR again, haven't you?

[Jennifer]

it happens...

[JoAnne]

Everyone peeks at your TBR Connie!! ;)

[Connie N.]

LOL!

[Jennifer]

Yeah, we didn’t really think you were READING those books. We thought you were just posting the covers for our enjoyment.

[Connie N.]

Well, natch. I have no intention of ever reading the books with the best covers. Those are there for visual stimulation only.

[Jennifer]

Don’t want to risk reading them and find they don’t live up!

[Connie N.]

Exactly.
