I'm like in a gazillion challenges already in the RRRC group but I'll think I may find a way to do a challenge here too! I'll just need to think how to do it. :)

SLUTS, that's funny Nissie! Cheryl is a tart ;)I'm a southern lady myself :)
...Despite what Dhestiny will say about me, lol
Yeah, right, Alycia. No matter how hard I try I can't say Alycia and **coughladycough** in the same sentence without choking. See!!!!

You can totally use the same books, D.G. unless that's part of your challenge, not to. Or I should say, even the same challenge.
Ok, here's my challenge:Read 11 books, at least 10 from my TBR
Two of the books must have at least 400 pgs.
Read at least 1 book from 5 different series

I read only 9 books in August so pushing myself to read at least reading 11 will be good - doable but not really easy. Also, I'll make sure to fit some of the longer books. ;)
Do I have to list the books I plan to read?

No, you don't have to list them ahead of time, but do list them as you go, please. That way other participants with a similar challenge might get some ideas, or if someone sees a book they were interested in, they can ask you about it.I'm trying to keep all of the challenges in this group easily doable. I know that doesn't sound very challenging, but we're all in a different place when it comes to reading and for some people getting 4 books read is quite a fete because their lives are so crazy. I just wanted to create challenges where EVERYONE could participate and have a chance at completing them.

LOL This place feels just like home! My sister and I have called each other "hussy" since Jr High. That's when everyone is in good spirits!
Alycia wrote: "*shakes head* Right back at ya S.L.U.T. :) "Awww.... thank you. That brings a tear of joy to my eye.
Nissie wrote: "That's great! I'm all about the fun! There's way too much seriousness in the world."I completely agree!

Oh, Dhestiny, you know I love you and it wouldn't be fun on GR without you!!!!

Ditto, you are one of my first really good friends on GR too. It was the Brothers that originally got us chatting all the time :)
I remember!!!! I never see you on the JR WARDEN group anymore, though.Are you reading the Fallen Angels yet? I'm starting to get excited for

"I just recently left that group. i wasn't spending as much time there and I have enough other groups to chat in. Plus, it is my thing to chat about the Brothers in most of my other groups... although I haven't in all of them, like the parlor. But if someone mentions them, I will definitely talk about them!
I am excited for crave too and want to read it at some point next month. I hope its better than Covet, although I didn't hate covet, I gave it 4 stars.
I'm guessing/hoping it will be better. The first book is always the weakest, in my opinion.I suppose you haven't heard the "theory" about Manny, have you?
Oh, and I totally understand about being in so many groups you can't really participate in them all. I just got kicked out of a group because I didn't post enough.

No, I am not up to speed anymore on the Brothers since I haven't lurked on the message boards and am not in the group any more. What's the theory.
Bummer, about the group. I hope it wasn't one you loved being in.
Nissie and Alycia... yeah, I got "the letter" telling me that they require ex amount of posts, etc. In fairness to them, they had sent out a reminder a few months before that and I don't even think I posted after that. It was a good group, but as I told the moderator, I'm not really reading a whole lot of PNR these days so that's why I hadn't been visiting the group. She thanked me for not getting nasty, which I thought was sweet!
Alycia... the WARDen dropped hints about Manny and dog biscuits.... so the theory is... werewolf/shifter for Manny. I don't know... it could happen. She has vampires, sympaths, shadows, fallen angels... why not werewolves?And WOW, can you just hear Vishous' comments about that??? LOL His brother in law a dog?? Oh, it's Payne and Manny... did you know that?

I don't read as much pnr either. I want to stick to a few authors, but I enjoy other romance genres more now.
UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "Alycia... the WARDen dropped hints about Manny and dog biscuits.... so the theory is... werewolf/shifter for Manny. I don't know... it could happen.

I am sure the Warden will make it entertaining. She could always do a spin off series there too and it opens up a whole new story line to keep the BDB books fresh.
Yep, that's me... I like reading other things more. Historical Romance and Romantic Suspense are my favorites. I'll always read the WARDen and Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon... maybe some others that I'm not thinking of... but very few.
That was sweet and you were sweet for not getting nasty about it. You may end up asking me to leave because I talk to much lol! If you do, I promise I won't get nasty either!
We'll just have to wait and see I guess. She always throws us off base, ya know?Anyway, I'm heading to bed to read some more A Kiss At Midnight. Fun, fun read!
Night Alycia and Nissie!! **hugs**
