Heather Carrasco | 842 comments Team Update!

Our February cards are complete! We got 100% of our available points for the month, so go team!!!

We're currently sitting in 3rd place, which is just luck of the draw on the cards for the month.

March cards have now started! After a couple of days of reading I'll update you all on what colored cards we have, which are already accounted for, and which ones we need to cover. Hopefully we can get the colored cards done early again so we can be ready to focus on the mid-month challenge when it comes up!

Happy March Reading!

Heather Carrasco | 842 comments Finished my first book for the month! I read Betrayal (Infidelity, #1) by Aleatha Romig again. I decided to finally read the 2nd in the series, and realized i didn't remember what happened in the first one. So it was a nice quick read!

Melindam | 4427 comments You are all very kind. I still have double-sided pneumonia, so it will still be some time before I am allowed to leave.

But I will be listening to my audiobooks, my eyes are still too tired to read longer books.

Also, thank God, we have Heather to take care of us and the sheets. xxx :)

Barbara Pereira (babitix) | 285 comments Hi, I am back! Last week I had an allergy, and my eye got swollen. It was funny and sad at the same time. I could hardly focus on reading, but I got time to listen to 2 audiobooks that I might finish soon.

I am reading a book with a red cover, but I am getting bored too often, so I might need more than 10 days to finish it.


message 443: by Barbara (new)

Barbara Pereira (babitix) | 285 comments By the way, Lorna and Mel, how are you feeling this week?


message 444: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments Thank you, Barbara. I am on the mend now for sure. I am hoping today they will let me know whén I am realeased from hospital. Fingers crossed.

I am missing my family terribly amd haven't seen them for 9 days now, as visitors are not allowed of course.
