Mod

Mod
for this one."Ooh, this was an Oprah Book Club book and I remember wanting to read this so much.
Hmm.. let's see what I can find that interests me for this week's challenge :) I'll be back!Okay, I struggle with non-fiction, I strongly dislike biographies, have aversion to history, hate unhappy stories, hahahaha! Okay, I see a theme here :P but i found this one in the poetry list and I actually want to read this one
Oh my. I hope these lists pop up something i own.

I hear you, some of these book prices are steep!
Sara wrote: "Oh my. I hope these lists pop up something i own."I know! I almost gave up and then I saw >i>Kiss An Angel I think I have it buried in my kindle. I hope I have LOL!
On the week where it says a book that scares you, does that just mean pick a horror book because how do you know if it scares you :-)
Melissa wrote: "On the week where it says a book that scares you, does that just mean pick a horror book because how do you know if it scares you :-)"LMAO! Good question Melissa. Well I guess we'll discuss and see. Perhaps "scares you" can be subjective? Either by length or topic or genre?? I can't do horror, like none. Nope, scardy cat?? That be me LOL!
I love horror. I just don't read it as much as I did when I was a kid. I have some skery sounding books I could try :-)
I'm not in the mood for any of these boring books so I think I will skip this week.
Mod
There will be a list of them. I'm not a fan of horror either.
I have several here at the house thank goodness. The thing us on the one where you have to pick a book you were supposed to read as a child. Ummm. I do good if I remember the week I'm in much less any books I was supposed to read and didn't as a child! *tears*

Oh good. Maybe I'll find something to read from the list. Crossing my fingers.
Sara wrote: "I'm not in the mood for any of these boring books so I think I will skip this week."Yeah, I'm hoping I do have Kiss An Angel because otherwise this week is going to be a bust for me and I don't want it to be :( and if next week is scary books, then crap! That's not going to work for me either. Big suck!
Belkis wrote: "Sara wrote: "I'm not in the mood for any of these boring books so I think I will skip this week."Yeah, I'm hoping I do have Kiss An Angel because otherwise this week is going to be a bust for me ..."
I'm with you on both weeks. What is this Kiss an Angel book?
Sara wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Sara wrote: "I'm not in the mood for any of these boring books so I think I will skip this week."Yeah, I'm hoping I do have Kiss An Angel because otherwise this week is going to be..."
It's a romance :-D of course LOL! I was surprised to find it on the Poetry list to tell the truth hahahaha! So I hope it's not a mistake because if it is then I'll be plum out of luck hahahaha!
Mod
is more like a dystopian than anything and it's on audio. Not really a bad book. I think you would like it. You should try this one it's something we would read as a group.
Tracy wrote: "Belkis, is more like a dystopian than anything and it's on audio. Not really a bad book. I think you would like it.

Sylvia wrote: "I'm not feeling this either lol"Hahahaha! yeah Sylvia the next 2 weeks are going to be tough for me too.
I actually like it but I read all kinds of books so it's ok. The only thing is I got the book The Color Purple for my bday to read during this week when I didn't know I already had one. Arrgg. Oh well

You'll read it eventually anyway if you can't get to it during next week's challenge.
Well, I have so laying around that I want to get them. God! There is never enough time to figure it out. I have about 30 or 40 that are new or new/used that I want to get to, never mind the stacks. Sigh and s*•t :-/
