Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

Thanks, Yz.
:) I didn't think I would finish this one.

Me, too. It wasn't until I noticed the deadline and I didn't have many books left to fill it, I decided to prioritize it.

Doesn't it feel fulfilling to complete a challenge..or is that just me?...LOL

Yes, it does. I think this is the first one I've completed.

I'm going to use "home" for a building. I'm having trouble filling this category.

Makes me envious.... Congrats Yz!

Thanks, everyone. Yes, it feels good to finish a challenge. It might be a while before I complete another one. May is promising to be busy for me, so my reading time will be dramatically cut down...oh well..such is life.

Congrats, Yz.

Congrats YZ

I am not going to be able to finish this challenge. I'm only halfway through the novel I'm reading and it's a long one and it's taking me awhile to slowly go through the cookbook as I copy down recipes as I go for ones I'd like to try. This one has interesting history to read along with the recipes. But I doubt I'll get either of those finished, and no time to start on the other two. So I'll have to settle for 6/10 on this one.

Stop it guys! It's no biggie, just another challenge... Now, if I had the monthly one finished as well - that would be a feat (for me). But no. So...

LOL..I think this is the only challenge I completed this month...I don't think I'll be able to finish even the REad-the-Month or any of the monthly challenges...LOL

Same here.. :) I guess at least we have a lot of good books on our list now. :) Move on to May.

That's the spirit, Amy. There is always another challenge...LOL
