Yes! I finished already. That went much faster than I thought it would.List of books in message 244.
I was happy because I found a Q book I wanted to read...
... a contemporary western romance.
Thanks Lisa Kay. It was actually almost as much fun finding the books as reading them.
Yeah, I like to go book hunting for challenges too, Vicki! Went to the Friends of the Library Booksale today and that was what was uppermost on my mind. Found a new Y author... Barbara Youree. Hope I like her.

Next year though...they better be ready for me!!
Yes! Last year was the biggest they had ever planned... It was in the parking lot and it was rained out! So, this year they made sure they could fit in the Community Room.
I was be totally bummed. Glad it was able to happen this year for ya. What else did you get other than your new Y author. Anything worth bragging about?
Nah, Rachel. I was really happy to find the Beverly Barton. Got a couple of series I want to start, or fill in: 
The rest is pretty much standard fair:
It opened at 10:00 a.m. I got there at 10:03 and it was already swamped.
Those look like some good ones. Oh, I love FotL sales. :)

Lisa Kay wrote: "LOL! Welcome to the challenge, Jeri!"I gotta stop signing up for challenges. This morning (since I can't sleep or at least not yet) I've signed up for this and the T-shirt challenge that's on top of my freestyle challenge(which is on going: I'm reading my old purchased books by month) and the Serious Reading Challenge. Then there is the 12 x 12 challenge over at Shelfari which started it all.
I need to get reading. lol
Yeah, I hear you, Jeri. I need to read instead of just sign up for challenges. LOL!
Yay! Finished this challenge last weekend!

Oh! Neat that you're joining this one, too, Adele! Welcome.
I am doing all the spell challenges that I can so that I can cross challenge, not so keen on task challenges, it is too difficult to make the books I review fit in.
Neat, ♥Madilynn♥! Welcome to the challenge. I need to get back to it, myself!
I've been wanting to do an A-Z challenge, but I know I won't finish in one year, so I am going to do my own challenge here...A-Z Title Challenge

I am new to this group as of tonight and I've spent a lot of time reading the challenges and trying to make up my mind. I think I will enjoy this challenge. I have already read a few books this week and so I did go ahead and add them to my list. My start date is going to be late and so my finish date will as well. If this is not ok, someone please let me know. So far, I have 3 listed and I am in the middle of another, and I'm trying to figure out how to post my alphabet.....??Advice would be appreciated!!
