Care to share what book it is? That prompt was hard for me....

This one is taking a bit for me to read. I'm just not connecting with these guys like I usually do.

Ok. They both seem pretty dramatic.

honestly how do you not know you are booking a singles cruise?

Starting this now. I don't remember Upton at all, but maybe more will come back as I read it further.

Walsh seems like he's been sheltered a bit, so seeing him adventure to another country on a massive ship will be great to see.

I did appreciate that too. He was a good old guy to help him out.

I'll be starting this later today. I like these book where people from faraway meet and find a way to make it work. I haven't read it yet, but I just know that's how it goes. I like PP, but haven't kept up on the Series either.

OK. I caved and that last half went by super fast.

While I didn't cry in Ch 17, I did have all the feels. Hayden takes so much on himself and the guilt that he feels. Concussions are a serious thing and those team doctors and coaches.

I love the Stepmum, Kirsty. She's great.

And I loved Rae from the start, but the way he works with his ADHD is great. Knowing what he needs to get through his deadlines and doing Almost what he needs can't be easy.

I now have to go back and read the rest of the stories. So good.

I might get another hour in tonight, but probably won't post til the AM. I'm 47% and in Chapter 12.

OMG.

You're allowed to want something good.

Practice doesn't make perfect, but it does mark progress.

Ch 9. Rae's back!

I think I'm gonna need a reading order like i got for Gregory Ashe. LOL

I just love this headmaster.

I'm kinda sad that Hayden doesn't seem to have faith in himself. I can't wait to find out why.

Also what Rae has. Sounds like BiPolar to me, but I don't know enough to know for sure.

at 33%.

Trying to remember (without google) if the volunteer state is Tennessee or West Virginia....Pretty Sure it's Tennessee.

I looked at some of their older books and now recognize a lot of the names. I may need to do a massive Con Riley backlist read this year.

I can tell based on the meeting with the headmaster that these kids are going to pull at my heartstring....I haven't even met them yet.

This is my Cryptid Book too. I'll be reading this one probably tomorrow.

I'm just in Chapter 1. Getting a little confused with all the names being thrown around, but I think Hayden just met the love interest of the book....but I don't have a name yet.

I like the writing style so far so that's good.

ok

What books are we focusing on finishing during the Themed Week?
Our Wives Under the Sea
We Used to Live Here
??

Those are the only two I have with females in them...

I just found We Used to Live here on Everand, so I can read it on my phone instead of waiting for a book at the library. I'm 1st in line, but not expected to be back until 1/15.
