Lady Jaye, you might think you're plodding but you're nearly half way with 8 months still to go.
You're right Sandra. But it doesn't feel that way, if you know what i mean.

Welcome Barbara :)
Glad this is a yearly challenge b/c I'll be starting
in a "buddy read" in December. I really want to get to Form of Water:
, by Nalini Singh b/c the cover looks so cool and everyone here seems to love it.
WElcome Barbara, This challenge is really fun!
Lisa Kay - you haven't read the Psy/Changeling series? Hmm. For some reason, I thought you had!
Nope, Lady Jaye, but I'm really looking forward to it. I have started the Guild Hunter series.
Ooh, Lisa Kay.
. I love Judd. I'm almost jealous that you get to read both of Nalini Singh's awesome series for the first time. Enjoy!
Just read the short story in
(which, according to the author, should be read first) in prep for this "buddy read" and just LOVED it. ☺

Barbara, I see you read Christina Henry's Black Night. I'm guess you also read Black Wings and I'm wondering how that series is? I've got it on my TBR pile but haven't heard much talk about it here on GR.

OK, I have some questions...Can short ebooks count? I was thinking maybe I could make Winter's Passage and Summer's Crossing count as one since they're short
Can "park" count as something that grows?
Personally I'd say "Park" doesn't count - the things in the park grow, but the park it's self doesn't. But that's just my opinion.

But that's just my opinion."Sorry for the delayed response, Julianne. Laura Lulu usually answers these type questions, but in her absence I'll fill in. I agree with Charlotte. "Park" would not fit for "something that grows."
If you are still at a loss for options, lemme know and I'll hunt down some for ya. :)
Steph, is Laura Lulu okay? I hope she's just been busy with life and we see her soon :)
Yep, she's OK, she's taking a bit of a break from reading though, so not on here much to talk to us. I think life has been a bit busy.And yes, we'd love for her to pop in whenever she wants.
