    1. I'll keep adding them to the Friday Finds post each Friday Miki :) A lot of the ones I post to the Facebook page are freebies for less than a day. If they're still free on Friday I try to remember to add them there.

      I'm not sure how to do go about adding the ones on here that are short term. Maybe adding them into the main sign up page? Or keeping a list going on each monthly link up? So in this post there would be a section I could add and delete as I need and yall could check in from time to time? Would that work for you? I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with on this end :)

  2. I just remembered the Kate Angell Richmond Rogues series. I have them all sitting on my shelf. I bought a bag of books once and the first one was in it. Then I won the last one. haha So of course, I had to get the rest. I read the first one and I did like it. So I am happy. But do I call these TBR clearing books or sports books?? LOLOL lisakhutson at cox. net

    1. LOL if they're on your TBR pile and they're sports related you can use em for both :D I'm doing that with some of mine!

  3. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to link each book up at a time when I review them or all at once. I linked my review for Hardball, but if that was wrong jsut delete it and I will do it the right way! lol Should I link my goodreads shelf with all the sports ones I review?

    1. Linking each individual one is perfect Penni :) That way I can easily see how many times to enter your name :) You can link them as you go during the month or all at once it's up to you :) But this one was great! I'll check out your review when I get into work. Gotta run let the pups out now :)
