I know, right? The woman is PROLIFIC! This is backlist and ‘only’ a trilogy 😂 Kindle was doing them as a single discounted book, so I had no choice but to get it. She also has what looks like a wedding themed duology I want to check out.

Really awesome choices, and really cool prompts. Thanks for organizing something so innovative! I am not sure whether I’ll be able to survive this Mythothon (only a 10% chance, really) – but I AM going to try. Here’s my introductory post: https://lexlingua.co/mythothon-round-4/
Good luck to all the participants!

Ooh! 🤦♀️How could I forget!?! Ohh right my health took a NOSE DIVE this month!! Wells… despite being EPICALLY late — I’ve found the #Mythothon group read @ my library — plus, I might sneak another title in if I can… 2x is better than none!! I was so eager for this too. I’m so sorry… I seem to need repetitive nudges… you know tweet me to death!? lol 🤣🤣 No, seriously, next time — do that!! I have so much on my mind lately….

No worries at all Jorie! It’s been a crazy year! My heads all over the place with deadlines and dates half the time too. Maybe you can join in the next round? 😄 Always happy to have you around for as much or as little as you’re up for!
