Double-Decker Alphabet Bus (A-Z) 2015
Whoa, Susanne. You're really zipping ahead of me.

'm only doing this challenge this year so that's almost cheating :) Easy to stay focused with nothing else that distracts me, and I'm so busy so I just pick up whatever I wrote down in the beginning of the year and sticking to it. JJ was a challenge though - I had put down Julie James new one but I was ahead of schedule and that book isn't released until summer. Maybe something for you? ;)
Ah! Great approach, Susanne. Focused, for sure.

You're just moving right along, ShoSho. I've got to figure out my "HH" book. I had one, but changed my mind.
Lisa Kay wrote: "You're just moving right along, ShoSho. I've got to figure out my "HH" book. I had one, but changed my mind."You've read Jennifer McQuiston books , right ? I suggest the one I read for my HH ,
it's the story of that swimmer's sister from book #2 and book #1 hero's brother .
Just look at what Double Decker is making me read : My KK book
Lol. That sounds like it might be funny. I'm just about done with my KK book-
. I really need to do an update.
Nichole wrote: "I'm just about done with my KK book- . I really need to do an update."That's a good one !
Lisa Kay wrote: "Slutopia? LOL!"Yep and unbelievably it was good ...Well ...good as long as you can accept the fact that the hero is an alien octopus :D I gave it 4 stars . I'll be reading my LL
next.
I'm still looking for my NN book. Any suggestions?
Gisela wrote: "I'm still looking for my NN book. Any suggestions?"Let me have a look!
The books I found on my TBR ,I'll probably read one of these :
(I don't think it's your cuppa !You don't read mm or do you ?)
ShoSho wrote: "The books I found on my TBR ,I'll probably read one of these : (I don't think it's your cuppa !You don't read mm or do you ?)[bookcover:Naughty by Night|179..."
Nope, not my cuppa. Thanks for the suggestions though!
Nichole wrote: "
is an NN series and it's free."That one looks promising, I like the second-chance plotline.
Finished my LL
it was fantastic! Off to read MM
Finished QQ -
Definitely not for the faint of heart!
Chris & ShoSho, you're zipping along.
My double-decker has the need for speed.
G , did you find a good NN ? Do you want to buddy read something ?
I haven't read anything yet, but I'm always up for a buddy read. What did you have in mind?
Gisela wrote: "I haven't read anything yet, but I'm always up for a buddy read. What did you have in mind?"That's the problem ! Nothing :P Maybe what Nichole suggested or the last one I suggested ? Not sure .Let me do some more digging.
