Calling it complete. When I quickly checked one of my Kindle Unlimited audiobooks had the word alignment, but asfter listening to it, I couldn't go on with it. I like sexy romances, but when in the first chapter they already had sex and were on there way for another sexcapade in the 2nd chapter, I had enough. I'm not going to force myself to read or listen to a book for a challenge!Machu Picchu Word Search
