I’m lucky - mine does. I’m reading Alien Claimed (Zyanthan Warriors #1) by Julie K. Cohen Alien Claimed which was a very specific choice for the PtP challenge - it amused me as waaay back in my early teens when I snuck my first Mills & Boon past my mother’s eagle eye I never imagined one day I would be openly announcing that I am reading a book from a list called “Vamps and Alien Males with Endowed & Unique Penises” 😂😂😂

Sally906 | 893 comments Stacie is reading a second book - none of mine in the near future have half naked men on the front cover - Louise or LaurLa do either of you have a book that fits to make up our six.

I missed the 6 book requirement- don’t line up next weeks reads until Saturday but the two I’m reading already don’t fit and the three lined up don’t either.

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) So, just a heads up, one of our cats is really sick and I'm not sure how much longer he's going to be here. Having just gone through this in August, it's hitting hard so I am not sure when I will get to reading.

I'm struggling too with my Mom in the hospital. This is my next book, I just am not having as much reading time right now so it might be another day or two for me.

No stress LaurLa - this challenge finished on the 17th (Wednesday) so this will probably be our final task as I don’t think any of us need to speed read to get one more in.

I’m more than happy to make this our last task.

Do you all agree?

I'm good either way. Maybe if we see what the next task is, just in case it's something we all just happen to have handy and can read :-)

Mom finally was released to the rehab hospital yesterday so that's actually a relief for me. In the regular hospital, I felt like I had to be there everyday but in rehab, the caregivers are more consistent, so I feel like I don't have to be monitoring what's happening so much.

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) Oh I'm so glad, LaurLa!
