MN Lisa’s Comments (group member since Jul 20, 2023)

MN Lisa’s comments from the Hooked on Books group.

Yeesh. That's a lot of time in the car. I can start whenever you want. I have the audio so for my 3 hr car ride on Thursday I'll be able to listen to the first one.

I love this series and have read most of the books multiple times. I do plan on finishing the series, hopefully in June. My favorite is Deputy and His Enforcer. There is just something about Marcus that I love.

Kincaid Pack Buddy Read

Awesome. Thanks!

Did I miss the announcement of the Monthly Bonus Category? Like for April we could use in the Theme Challenge for Dobby vs Smaug?

I'm not so keen on the narrator's voice so I'm going to read this instead of listen. But I love Ezra's friends/roommates. they seem fun.

I just started listening to this. The Prologue. Made me kinda teary.

You could do Second and His Bonded for Social Justice, but it would be a stretch. Deputy and his Enforcer would probably work better with that one.

Lisa (Quill) and Skye (Saga) would like a BR for The Alpha and His King

The Second and His Bonded

And

The Deputy and His Enforcer

Skye, I requested the BR for Alpha and His King.

I'm using Second and His Bonded for mental health since Kieran was so abused. You could possible make a connection for immigrant experiences/diaspora or wartime with courage or bullies or adapting to life change. I don't want to put why if you haven't read the first one yet though.

it all depends on what books you've already selected and which ones you are willing to change. The Kincaid Pack does not have very good hunt points though, based on my memory and quick search.

First on my list is Rules for Ghosting and Blue Billings. After that I haven't decided.

I'm gonna read them both so I'll add them to the list. My daughter might read the data one too.

I also sent her your Perfect Victims and the Politics of Appeal. She's getting a degree in conflict studies.

If you don't want to read them, you don't have to BR with me. They looked really interesting so I'm going to read them anyway.

Poking in from Team Quill Questers...Same team as Janeylou....
I was not successful in overlapping my Quill Books with Hunt Books this month. I am however starting a re-read of Kincaid Pack and worked the first 3 into Quest Books this month. If anyone wants to BR...
