Aww thank you Alondra!! It was a fun one! Had no idea it would take as long as it did but definitely found out I read a lot of books set in the same states😂😂😂. Had a great time reading through it!

[Alexandra]

Finished book #61 4 Stars! Wow what a book! I listened to this one and really enjoyed it! I am not a fan of lots of cussing but other than that a very good book with a fabulous cover!!😍

[Alexandra]

Finished book #62 5 Stars! I was originally asked to read the first few chapters to make sure it was appropriate for my daughter's 2nd grade class to have read to them during library time. By the 2nd chapter I asked if i could borrow the book to read the whole thing 😂😂😂 I ended up loving it! Very funny and will probably read the rest of the books in the series eventually.

I think I will hold this until the end of the month. I keep putting it off and have had the book for a whole week! LOL

Bunnicula looks fun; I have that one too. :)

LOL; same here. I was trying to read a bunch of horror. Fantasy is really for December, but I had to start it. It's so good. (so far)

I really love the story itśelf and its crazy these ideas were coming from someone back then, so cool but ya classics can sometimes just drag for me but now i am looking forward to watching some of the movies, its been years since ive seen any

[Alexandra]

Finished book #66 3 Stars! I normally wouldn't count such a short book towards my book number count but I received it through NetGalley for a review so I am counting it. It was ok, the illustrations cute but it wasn't amazing. Still very thankful I was given a kindle copy for a review!

[Alexandra]

Finished book #67 (Audio book) 4 Stars! This one was a bit on the long side for me but wow those last few chapters were amazing!!!

I think this was my least favorite, but like you, gave it 4 stars or so. That cover looks amazing.

I miss this series

I like the cover too!!! I loved the Prophecy chapter towards the end but could have done with a much shorter book lol

I've been slowly collecting them every year. I have to do my Christmas list. I think I will only put books that I want.

There is a meme going around for readers to request 24 books to coincide with the Advent Calendar!! That would be so cool.

[Alexandra]

oh my goodness that would be amazing

I found out about this too late to do anything about it. We had already budgeted for a beach house and left that next week. Ugh.

I'm doing it next year!!!

Oak Island, NC. Much better than Myrtle Beach, which has become a tourist trap and overpriced.

[Alexandra]
