I went back and reread the first 3 In Death books, the latest, THANKLESS IN DEATH, and polished off Jen Lyon's OBSESSION yesterday. Not sure what's up next. I'm about 10 books behind schedule now but considering how many are on my Kindle Fire, I'll get caught up ASAP.Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-60374253674539189092013-10-07T10:19:44.330-05:002013-10-07T10:19:44.330-05:00I'm reading #73, with a goal of 90.

That's when I leave for vacation and I like to read when it's not my turn to drive. And we'll be doing lots of driving since we're basically headed to Austin to watch my daughter play in the Footy (Australian Football) Tournaments the following weekend. I've tried writing in the car, but it just doesn't work - in fact, I got queasy the last time, not something I want to experience again.Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-48735683690808926042013-10-07T06:49:34.456-05:002013-10-07T06:49:34.456-05:00Don't you just love it when you get lost in a ...Don't you just love it when you get lost in a book (books) and the time flies and the world passes on by and there's not a care in the world except what's happening between those pages? I haven't had a day like that in ages - must schedule one!<br /><br />Trying to work my way through Wolf Hall (historical fiction of much magnitude) - will be looking for something a little less ambitious for my next read. Hmmm, I don't make reading goals - maybe I need to revisit that come January!!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076293789081887442.post-25179019277268943942013-10-06T09:38:19.239-05:002013-10-06T09:38:19.239-05:00Good job!

Alas, I don't think I'll need to up it again. I'm trying to finish this first draft, then it's going to be edit, edit, edit! Of course, I am scheduled to beta for about 5 people in November, so it's possible that my numbers will shoot up, LOL!Natalie Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116611923169722657noreply@blogger.com
