Sorry! :)

Welcome to the challenge!

I know what you mean, Creative Caprice! I'm having the same problem.

Welcome Marcella!

I don't even try to keep my addiction in check anymore. I just keep signing up and reading.

LOL, I've come to the same conclusion, Sam. (And Caroline's not helping.)

*gives an evil laugh* Sorry :)

What saves you from my wrath, Caroline, is that you're signing up for all of these challenges too!

Wow, good for you, Caroline! I tend to just add my books to whichever letter comes first, so I don't finish up words very quickly. But then when I get closer to the end, then I'm done with a lot of words all at once.

Thanks Connie, I'll probably start well and then get stuck with loads of words with one letter missing!

Another one done :)
