Unpredictable is our Brenda, she likes to keep us on our toes - the only thing you can be guarenteed of in any potential Autumn challenge that may, or may not, be getting posted in the next weekish or so, or not, is that the challenge WILL mean reading books!!!
Oooops - have I let too much informaiton out of the cone of silence?
Bad Sally! Bad, bad Sally

What is this reading books business you're talking about Sally?!

Definition of reading: Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive meaning (reading comprehension).
LOL - clear as mud hey?

Don't rush everyone. I still have a book to go on the summer challenge and I haven't even bought it yet. It's Tell the Truth by Katherine Howell and my book shop hasn't got it!!!

S Schindler's List

M [book:Mr. Kiss and Tell|..."
While I still plan on reading all these books sadly it won't have been for this challenge I blame a very lazy Christmas and the new job

I still have 4 to go - I'm not in a hurry.
Mine is on order at the library - is still showing up as 'In Process'
Found out that this will be the last book by Katherine Howell for a while - as she is training to be a nurse and her studies are taking up her time so she is taking a hiatus from her series for a short while to concentrate on her studies.

That's alright Renee, as long as you've enjoyed what you've read, that's the main thing:) I hope the new job is going well...

Thanks Brenda, the new job is great I have finally got a grasp on everything I will be doing, just in time for the readings rush before O-Week. But my personal reading time has diminished considerably since I started :(

Oh good! The choice of it being the finale was deliberate, so that I can go straight into Eden afterwards ;)

If all else fails I will buy it on kindle. It's just that I have all her others in paper copies and I am a bit OCD about sets of books:)
