 I was wondering and I decided I could ask. does anyone has a copy of Good in Bed they could offer? by Jen Weiner.

My order of Certain Girls arrived yesterday but then I discovered I had bought the wrong book in England. I should have bought Good in Bed which is the prequel to Certain Girls (I've read it but released years ago) but instead I bought In Her Shoes which I already had a copy of. so stupid.

It has been too long since I read Good in bed so I need to re-read before I can read Certain Girls. Not a member of the library anymore otherwise I could have borrowed it.

hmm, I had it going around as a ray... I think it was in Australia, last I checked...not sure it didn't stall somewhere. I could try to check what's going on, but not right now as I have to run.

 bump :help: I am worried everyone is waiting for me but I do not know what to do and it is still such a mess, it is confusing to me. Otherwise I just find a book for sunny and just leave this box out of it. I still do not feel like doing this update.

I can say I will replace Out are The Lights by Richard Laymon (Marlene)

and put back in:

This Christmas by Jane Green and others (Marlene) (TBR)

I can also still add another book if it is okay that sunny adds her book here.

 iliotropio I will be posting the Farm to you later this week.

What happens if we do not finish the round this month, does it carry over into December?
It looks like more people still to take a turn than time left to me?
