Oh I'm sure you'll be able to get your hands on it. All day yesterday I was back and forth about changing my list of books! and of course I changed the entire list I'm much more pleased with what I'll be reading now :0)

[Nairabell]

Steph - we can read those first two in any order right? Like the 2nd one first? I just realised I put mine up back to front :(

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

No problem, Nairabell, as long as they are the first 2 books reads, that's OK!!

[Desperado]

I didn't have any internet yesterday :(
BUT I'm not changing any of my books (especially the first 2) just adding books to the list since I didn't get chance to finish it, so I hope that's ok.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Josie, you can fill in 14-25, no problem. No changes to the rest though. :)

I am not the boss but all genres are accepted for this challenge. She said she expects/likes more PNR/UF than not since that is the slant of the group. I have fantasy, sci-fi, PNR and YA for mine. A nice mix. I am sure your list will be fine.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

AV's right, Sabrina. Since this one is focusing on knocking off those books on our TBR Mtns, any genres are okay, as long as some PNR & UF are mixed in. :)

Join the read-along! :) (For Hunger Games) If you haven't already that is. :-P

[Vivian]

Finished my first Mt. TBR book! Woohoo!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Whoop Whoop! Me too! :D

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I'm nearly half-way through my second, LOL.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I finished my 2nd earlier today. Thank goodness! Both my first and second were anthologies. Ugh! Now I know why they sat on my TBR for so long! LMAO!!

[Desperado]

Way to go Vivian, Steph & Sandra!

I'm not a fan of anthlogies either-which is why I have two on my mountain. Meh.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks. Yeah, I've had my fill of them for a bit.

[Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads)]

I am still on book 1:
but it seems to be going very quickly. I am about to read some more now. :)

[Kristen]

I've been out of the loop for a few days, driving home from Florida, we just got home 30 minutes ago. Is it too late to post my list?

We can create a "Read It, Review It" thr..."

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Kristen, you can certainly join the challenge & post your list; you just can't change it once its posted, after 1 Jan.

So post away - glad to have another sucker participant along. LOL.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yay for everyone who's finished some books! I finished my second, so now I move on and not worry about whether or not a book is on the list. Good thing we don't have to read the whole thing in order, lol :D

Get out the whips, Steph...I didn't catch this! I have to find my '2nd' book used! Ah, well. I will work on one of my other challenges FIRST then come back to this one!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! No whip needed, I'll forgive ya. See ya back here when you've gotten hold of it. :)

[Zaanodes]

@ Steph

Speaking of finding books...My local book store is loving all these challenges that I recently started joining.

The owner, Chip, said I needed to join a 12-step program to help me...12 books in 12 days!!! Sounds like a challenge to me!! lolol

Of course, he is loving it!!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

ROFL!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LMAO!! Tell him he owes you a frequent shopper discount, since he's benefiting from the challenges as well. :)

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Nice idea, Steph!!!

Wish there was one of those (used book shop) around here!!!!!!!said with an envious whine! Though, my spouse & bookshelves might be glad there ISN'T!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Ditto and mine too! :D

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I want one too! That's why BD is my friend.........

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

:D

[Nairabell]

Me too :)

[Laura Lulu]

Hey Steph, I know you your OCDemon usually like us to update our original post instead of making a new post with updates, but do you want us to do that for this challenge too?

I was just thinking, if we go back and update our original post, you won't be able to tell if we've changed our original list, basically negating the entire concept of this challenge--not changing our list. :)

[Vivian]

Honesty policy, my friend! Aren't we all trustworthy here? PLus, if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself. Do I sound like a teacher yet, hehe.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL!

[Desperado]

I am an honest person. I would never change my picks, even if one of them is a freaking Lora Leigh novel, who has been on my shit list since I marked the last three books I read by her DNF. But I'm going to read it. I'm sick of looking at boobies.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Lethal, LOL.

And I've also walked into a couple of spiderwebs in the last week. Strange cause they are usually out in October here.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yeah, I thought of that, after the fact, Laura. Actually laughed at my not realizing it sooner, but oh well. Game on now, everyone's off and runnin'. :)

LOL@Lethal & Sandra!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

DNF?

[Nairabell]

I'm guessing Did Not Finish?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yes, that's what it means. LOL.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Ahhh....shudder I've not run across one like that for awhile! High tolerance, perhaps!

[Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads)]

FINALLY finished 2 stars. It was hard to get through. I like the concept and some of the characters but I struggled a lot with this one. I put it down for a day or 2 and started reading a NON CHALLENGE BOOK *gasp* I will work the other one into a challenge. Don't you worry lol.
