I did a Fifty Shades marathon and read all three b..."

I enjoyed it! I am on hold with the library for the next 2, so I will have to wait. Unfortunately it is blocked by the author on the Kindle, so it can't be shared. Bummer.
What did you think of it Sara?

[Johanna]

I´m at two at the moment!

[Andrea]

Finished The Gargoyle and am now reading Fifty Shades Darker. I had a hard time gettin into Gargoyle but it's a good book.

[Andrea]

Depending on how you describe "action", Fifty Shades Darker can fall under Spring into Action. ((blush)) Otherwise, I will put it under Chicken Feed, since I got it from the library.

[Lorelei]

I have finished the third book in this challenge. 74 Seaside was #7 Chicken; One Good Dog was for #3 Spring goes in like a lion; The Mermaid Chair was for #8 got Cheap $2.50. That makes me 3/3!

[mussolet]

So I decided to join in four days ago, and now I'm done!

I was going for "Hope Springs Eternal" because I like the title ;).

Here's what I've read:


#1) Spring into Action: G.R.R. Martin - A Game of Thrones. 4/5

#2) Hen Party: M.K. Hobson - The Native Star. I only kept reading for the guy, but it counts anyway ;). 3.5/5

#3) Chicken Out: Graham Moore - The Sherlockian. This is more yellow than it looks, I promise ;). 4/5

#4) Chicken Feed: Ox-Tales: Air. Got the collection as a present :). This one was a bit weak though. 2.5/5

Late entry, but better late than never :).

Adriana, you cannot have failed so long as you have read at least one book :). You just made another level than you thought you would ;). So long as the books you've read were worth it, that should be alright :).
