New to me - increasingly difficult challenge

As may be obvious I didn't participate in March's challenge,
although I will actually manage to fit in a few new to me authors this
month. The reason I'm not particularly excited about it is that it's a
very difficult challenge for me - Harlequinwise, because there are very
few imprints I haven't yet tried and relatively few authors. There are
of course the new new authors, the ones that haven't been published
before, but there again I have to get the books to me in time to read
them, and that's where that idea falls down.

That double-oh position is round again so I decided I wanted to read a specific book, except that it hasn't got here yet, and I don't want to read nothing
between now and Tuesday while I wait for the next postal delivery, so
I've had to change the shoulder my rifle is on (as the French would
say) and then I couldn't find the book I was looking for (it took me
over an hour - I could have read it in the time it took me to find it ) but now I've finally pried it from its hiding place, I can get organised.

It strikes me that the postal service is seriously bugging my double-oh
spots this year, because last month or so when I was impatiently
awaiting a particular book for both the One book leads to another and
my first double-oh spot I ended up reorganising my reading because of a
non-arrival

I suppose that's called counting your books before they're read

and yes it's not like I don't have about a thousand other books waiting in my TBR

and yes what am I doing blethering on when I could be reading
