I’m not doing so great. So far only completed Push (4), and I am working on Bring on the Blessings. Had some unexpected projects come up, but I’m hoping to have a reading marathon between now and the new year. I have the books, and they are taunting me!

Well, I don’t know if I like the reading part or the chats more. I think the chats have been wonderful. This was a great idea.

I have read the following books:

Push by Sapphire (5)
Trapped in Paradise by Deatri King-Bey (4)
Lady Jasmine by Victoria Christopher Murray (4)
His Invisible Wife by Shelia Goss (4)
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Zane (4.5)

And I participate in all the chats…I think. I gotta catch up on my reading.

Now that the show-offs are done, I’m going to post my list and I’m SO PROUD since I haven’t been able to read this much in one month since before the baby. Now granted, a few days I was finishing up when the chats started…lol, but still. I’m almost hanging. I only missed one book and I knew I wouldn’t get those 3 done back to back, so I had to pick & choose.

Push by Sapphire (4)
Trapped in Paradise by Deatri King-Bey (4)
One Night With You by Francis Ray (4.5)
Have Mercy by Earl Sewell (3.5)
Bring on the Blessings by Beverly Jenkins (4.5)
His Invisible Wife by Shelia Goss (3.5)
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Zane (4)

Well since you asked…I’m still in the midst of my Bev Jenk (Beverly Jenkins) read-a-thon. I have a few more to go, before I’m finished. I had a ball when she chatted with us last week. Before this read-a-thon LaDena and I had a Darnella Ford read-a-thon. I’m looking forward to that chat!

I’m enjoying the challenge and book chats! So far I’ve read and participated in all the books and chats except for Push by Sapphire. Not to mention my own personal read-a-thon’s I keep finding myself on.

There is almost nothing I love more than talking about my books, for the last couple years almost twice a month I sit across the room from readers who want to talk about my quirky mindset and where I come up with my stories~ that is why I have stayed independent it allows me to get out there and talk to folks and meet people. Blessedly, I have a very loyal local following in Florida and for now that is BLESSINGS galore~ I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my work…for real!

Okay? And, I thought you were the show-off, Sharon. ROFL. But I love that Angelia is joining in and wish other authors would.
