Does that mean you liked to continue the series, CaroB? Didn't you just swoon all over Roarke? I'm still swooing 8 books in...

[Lina]

I'm loving the dynamics between those two Heather! Such strong characters, I'm definitely continuing with the series.

[Heather]

YAY!!!
I pace myself, only reading 1-3 books per month, so I don't sick of them too fast.

Hi Everyone! It's been a crazy week, so I missed this weeks challenge update earlier this week. I'm sorry :(

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

That's okay, ✿Michelle✿. I've been sick for over a week now myself. I got one book read in seven days. Started one for this challenge and fizzled out d/t lack of interest (in anything).

Oh Lisa Kay! I'm so sorry you don't feel well! I just got my son's cold so I haven't read much lately. I've read a few things, but haven't finished any of my books for this challenge yet... *sigh*

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Sorry you are sick too, Megan. It sucks. You wouldn't believe the about of time I spent sleeping when I could have been reading. I opened a lot of books, but couldn't get into them. Every time I think I have it beat, it comes back again. Ugh! But, I haven't had a cold in years... So I should be grateful.

[Megan]

I'm sorry you can't seem to shake your cold Lisa. I used to never get sick as well... but then I had a little boy who seems to pick up every germ out there in preschool! Oh well.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

It is a pain in the ass, Megan. Sorry for the language... but it is! Still coughing this morning but I am going to persevere.

[Megan]

I hope you get rid of it soon! Doesn't sound like any fun!

It may have taken me 18 days, but I finally finished one!!!!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Oh, ✿Michelle✿! Reading while you are moving should count as triple... or maybe exponentially based on the number of years you lived in a place.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Anna, these are so much fun! I dont think it's too late to do this one :) join in and enjoy!
