I'll check those out. I don't mind MF, but I hate the "weak woman and need a man to save me" so if you have any with strong female leads, I'd definitely take a look. That is part of why I stopped reading MF.

I read to escape reality, but for some reason the fantasy and such seems to suspend too much reality for me? I've read TJ Klune, but not his reality ones. I recently found I like Sam Burns....Do you have any recommendations for Fantasy? I'm trying to broaden my horizons.

Oooh really enjoyed this book! What..."

I loved this book. It was a re-read for me. Something about Asher and Geoff give me the feels.

Do you have other favorites? I'm always looking for recommendations, even though by TBR is over 400 and I have a list of other series and authors I need to check out.

Great Thanks. I'm trying to make sure that books I read for this challenge are over 300 pages, so they take me a little longer than the shorter ones. I never know if I should go for one book at 350 pages or two books for 160 each....

Can I start reading as long as I finish after round 2 starts? Or do I have to wait to start reading?

I probably won't be much help with the bonus this round. Horror is not anything I enjoy. Now, if it was Romance, I'd be set. :)

I posted the books I mentioned here and in the Spreadsheet. Feel free to delete any that might cause us to go over the book limit for this period. Just let me know so I can remove from my shelf.

Or one I will finish tomorrow

Let me know if you want me to post any of these, otherwise I'll be done until we can start reading for our next word. I've already selected 5 books and put them on the spreadsheet.

No I mean as we get to the end of THIS round I can use books I read during this round period, even if I didn't plan for it? For example, I finished reading Wreck Me Forever on 10/12, but didn't use it for Wheel. If we needed a W to complete a word, since I read it during this round can we use it? I only planned for 10 books this round, but I could probably add 3-4 more since there is only about 10 days left of October for round 2...

I understand I can't read a book in this round for another round.
