[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Well, the month's not half over with, Meltem... so, we'll see! Until then, mini congrats!

[Jonquil]

Finished Message 23.

US folks have a Happy Thanksgiving; others have a lovely November.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Woohoo! Congrats, Jonquil!

[Hayley]

Wow! Congrats to Stephanie, Meltem & Jonquil! Some fast finishers this month!

I've updated my Post - 2/4

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yeah, there are. I think they wanted it out of the way for the holidays. LOL!

[Hayley]

Probably so LK! I'm not doing anything elaborate for the Holidays, minus working, so I have nothing but time :)

November 2014 Challenge: ~The Autumn/Spring Thankful Challenge~
Duration: November 1, 2014 - November 30, 2014
Level: Harder
Read: 1/6

I've had to downgrade my level, unfortunately. We had to pull my son out of school at the beginning of November very unexpectedly, and I'm not as able to read a book a day like I was doing while he was in school.

That being said, I finished a book on Sunday, and have updated my count accordingly. Amaury's Hellion wasn't too bad, but the characterization needed work, in my opinion.

I figured it was coming, with all the problems we've had with his old school. Last straw for us was when he was choked by another student on the playground and the adults did nothing about it!

Sorry to hear about that, Trea. (((Cyber Hugs)))

[Hayley]

Oh my word Trea that is just horrible. . .

Congrats, lara!

[Lara]

Thanks ShoSho!

[⚜️XAR]

I'm finished! I finished Motorcycle Man this morning, having started it late last night after finishing Soulless, which I didn't care for, but it could just be my timing.

I've had my ups and downs with the Dream Man series. Overall, I haven't cared for it, and the 5 star review of Motorcycle Man that I'm about to write won't change that. That being said, I do like how it has set up the Chaos series, and I'm looking forward to revisiting Own the Wind in December.
