It's not just romance.

I think that will only leave us with a one-point difference then. I say go for it!

I agree with Sweet Revenge.

I think I'm already committed to one book, not that someone else couldn't read Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen (or I can read two), but if Robin has Look available, go for it. They'll either have to read a book starting with LOOK or OOK. I think OOK will be hard to find but they are very clever!

Lisa wrote: "This should be an easy one!

I'm willing to read Looking for Jane if no one else has any ideas....although I may have already signed up for a battle book (if Char doesn't want it) ..."

Excellent book Lisa! I also have Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen on my TBR list as another option.

@Lisa - wow, you have done some homework here. I don't think we can use C.S. Lewis because we need to match three letters - ICS

I'm not sure what the impact is of using our supply drop🤷🏻‍♀️

Robin, I can't believe you have an ICS book on your Kindle already, what are the odds!

I think we still need to match the last three letters of their book - ICS

That's what it looks like in the example in the rules.

Erin, I'm going to suggest we use a supply drop book for this one. We can use the last two letters from The Jazz of PhysiCS and the first letter from our defense drop, I Hope This Finds You Well and will have the ICS covered. We can look for books that start with "CS". My mind was going to CSI as the start of title for books.

I think I'm reading the rules correctly:

Team A Strike 3: Gerald's Game (GER overlap, 3 letters)
Team B Strike 3: Me Before You PLUS a supply drop letter A (AME overlap, 3 letters)

Robin's getting caught up on everything she missed!🤣

I like Sukiyaki, Gospel and Jazz as an option. And it's available on KU.

I'm changing my thinking on this. With the first two books, they may have to choose books that have more overlap letters.

Clever indeed! I think SUKI may be the best choice. Some of the other books you have listed give them easier options. I think UKI may be harder, but we thought that about our last choice. I have KU and think others on the team do as well. This book is short.

I can get it on Kindle. I'll read this one.

Does the person who recommended the book need to be the reader of the book?

Does the person who recommended the book need to be the reader of the book? I don't mind cozy mysteries and could probably read it.

Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* wrote: "Oops looks like you are right Lisa, they do not require them to be same word, just by each other, so yours works."

That make more sense; otherwise, why could you have option to use or ignore?

The other option I found was Gacy's Ghost: Hunting the Spirit of a Serial Killer

My daughter was married in December, but she & her husband just went on their honeymoon last month, a week in Italy and a week in Greece. They spent time in Paros and Santorini. There had a professional photographer take a few pictures in Santorini. Here are two.

Next up, a shorter book I hope"

Nice, Rachel! I am actually in the mood for some longer..."

I'm happy to get back to my regular TBR list and read books I want to, not need to, now that the mini is over. 😀🥰

After reading 4 books set in Crete for the Mini, I think I deserve an actual trip there!

Robin, so happy to hear from you😀. Sounds like life has given you a lot lately. Hang in and escape through a book when you can.
