Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I'd say that could be him when he was little :)


message 403: by S (new)

S (booksstarsmoon) | 884 comments I love that picture! I'm so glad you liked Dragon Bound Susan. I really liked it as well but I still haven't gotten around to the next in that series!


message 404: by Susan (susayq ~), Moderator (new)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I put it on the Kindle immediately. Now, to get to it LOL


message 405: by Elishia (new)

Elishia | 2620 comments What are people reading this month? I'm stuck because quite a few are part of a series and I have to read books in order. I did have the in death one to read but......... I couldn't wait and read it early ☺


message 406: by Susan (susayq ~), Moderator (new)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I'm reading When Beauty Tamed the Beast (Fairy Tales, #2) by Eloisa James this series does not need to be read in order. And it also fits for the February challenge :)


message 407: by ~Megan~ (new)

~Megan~ (megadee) Ok so, real life got in my way in January. I used a make up month card in December to read two in January and now I have to use one for January. Does this mean I have to read 4 books this month?

EEK!


message 408: by Elishia (new)

Elishia | 2620 comments Megan I almost choked I was laughing so much at your comment.


message 409: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Me, too, Megan! (With regards to Elishia choking.) Who designed this challenge anyway?


message 410: by ShoSho , Moderator (new)

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments what is this challenge anyway?:D I have looked but didn't figure it out


message 411: by ~Megan~ (new)

~Megan~ (megadee) LOL! I think it only equals out to three books, but still....

I better get to reading. Can I read one from the previous month's list or do they all have to be from February?

Nah. Read from either the month you missed or this month, Megan. If the rules don't say that, then I change them. LMBO!

~Megan~ (megadee) Woot woot! Thanks Lisa Kay!

I'm going to use a Wild Card and read How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf which I got recommended to me two months in a row in the PIFM challenge. Hope it lives up to the hype!


message 416: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Great, Susanne. Let us know what you think.


message 417: by Elishia (new)

Elishia | 2620 comments I still don't have a clue i'll have to pick later in the month.


message 418: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Man-oh-man! I really need to update my post. I'm loosing track of the cards I've used and the books I've read for this one.

I think I'm going with Alpha & Omega A Companion Novella to Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #0.5) by Patricia Briggs - as it finally came out on audio this month. Love that series. Of course, I'll have to use a card...if I have that one left. LOL!


message 419: by S (new)

S (booksstarsmoon) | 884 comments I'm so moody! Now I don't want to read How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf anymore! But maybe I will change my mind again or roam the shelves for something I want to read xD

Thanks Shosho! Funny and entertaining sounds good! I will hold out then and hope my mood brings me back to it xD


message 422: by ~Megan~ (new)

~Megan~ (megadee) Updated my post #71! Figured out that I read one of the December books at the last second, so I only ended up having to read two books!!


message 423: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Yeah, I've done that before, too, Megan. Maybe I better look though my books again and see if it works. LOL!

Elishia | 2620 comments If I use a make up card does it mean that if I read a book last month off this months list I can use it or does it have to be off that same months list?

Elishia, since you are doing 12 books, you are allowed 2 Make-up Cards.

Where as JenniferJ, who is doing 24 books, is allowed 4 Make-up Cards.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments BTW, everyone, I didn't add the bookcovers; however, I did put hyperlinks to the months in Post #3.
