I'm off school in December, so I plan to do well in this challenge and get loads of reading done :)

Hope you're able to do so, Victoria!

Hello,
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Courtney: Did you get my email--I just sent it.
I haven't had much access to my computer as I spilt coffee on it and had to get it fixed.:/
Anyway, How is everyone.
Sorry if there are any typos or if this comes out weird, but my screenreader is acting really weird with Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ and isn't working.

Haven't gotten it yet. I'll check. Sorry you're having computer issues. :( Mine died as well. I have to get a new one. Your comment is fine, by the way.

Sorry that happened Jackie! :(

Thanks. Yeah, it really stinks--especially since I had to write my papers like that.:/It's fixed enough that it will get me through the semester, but I need to go into the store to have some keys replaced.
Glad it came out right.
Oh and I figured out why you didn't get my other emails--I was sending it to a different email--slightly different spelling.
Dang, maybe it's just computer dying season.

I did have ny computer for seven years, so he got me through a lot. Still, I'll have to invest in a new one.

Great planning you've got so far, Bookbuyer!

C P wrote: "Great planning you've got so far, Bookbuyer!"

Thanks. I still have a lot more to do. I'm trying to whittle down my books from 70 to something a bit more realistic. :/

Yeah, 70 might be a bit of a stretch. I definitely couldn't do that.

C P wrote: "Yeah, 70 might be a bit of a stretch. I definitely couldn't do that."

Me either but I have 8 challenges I have to finish by December 31st which is making it hard. :/

So I've just been looking at my books set in my town, is it okay if I go with country instead? I'm from New Zealand, and I really can't find anything good set in my city because we're such a small country! Honestly, there's not much for my country in general, but I've found something haha :P

Yes, Victoria, that's fine. :)

Does anyone know of any books set in kansas?

Here is a list from listopia, there may be other lists as well: /places/1160...

Sounds like everyone has a good plan going.:) I am hoping to do lots of reading after finals so I will only be doing readathons 2-4.:/

Still, that should give you time to get quite a bit of reading time in!

That's unfortunate. What book was it, Jamie?

Sorry you didn't enjoy it more.
