I'm loving this series. But since she defeated the big bad evil Mab I find that the books aren't as good. The last book was my least favorite of the series so far. Not that it's bad, but just not as good. But that might change once we know who next bad guy is, Mab's heir. I'm hoping book 11 will make progress in that regard. Book 10 is a flashback book, telling a story from when Gin was starting as the spider. It's alright so far.
I'll try to finish the book tonight.

I will. Can't pass up those points :) And awesome for the extra points with the page count as well !

Hey Sammy, I'm currently reading , the next book in the Elemental Assassin series, after Heart of Venom. We can use this for the same three tasks: 9th book or higher, golden text on cover and MC has a sister.

Sammy wrote: "Claire, I don't suppose the MC in Heart of Venom has a sister?

We can cover 3 & 5 so far. anyone have anything banked that will work for anything else?"

Yes she has one ! :D A sister called Bria

Sammy, I've put down my Hear of Venom for task with both hands on the cover as well :)

Sammy wrote: "It's all yours! :D"

Yeah !! :)

If no one has claimed the musical instrument task, I'll take it ! 😁😁
Perfect excuse to continue with the Lord of Discord series. The next one is about the brother who can speak to animals, and it's MMM. I cannot wait ;) ;)

Hi Jen, welcome to the team !

And if you're in the mood for historical romance, I quite liked
The female lead is deaf in that one.

In case anyone wants to read for that one...

The Fireman
The Quiet at the End of the World
The Fault in Our Stars"

[EDIT something weird happened when I first posted]

For MM romance lovers I recommend the Turning Point series by NR Walker.
I read the whole trilogy before the challenge and they're nice. I liked them. One of the main character's dad is deaf.

Happy Birthday to your hubby, Sammy :)

if I'd known, I wouldn't have started Ariadne yesterday ...

I finished the book for the T18. Another monster bites the dust !

How do you like the series Lauri? I remeber when I read them I was obsessed ! I really loved it :)

On the spreadsheet :)

Sammy wrote: "TASKS TO LOOK OUT FOR

One task that hasn't got any claims yet, and will finish off monsters:

T18 Read a book with a musical instrument on the cover

Holler if you can find any instruments! :D"

I can take care of that :)
Sonia convinced me to read Lords of Discord, and I was planning to start the second book in the next couple of days. I can prioritize this over my other books no problemo

"

I can see both :)

A lot of you seem to have chosen your tasks already. What a team !
It's sometimes a bit hard to see which tasks are already taken or not. I think I'll just go with my gut, read what I have planned in my head for my other challenges and see how it can fit in here. And if there's a tricky one I'll see how I can contribute then.
I hope this is okay for you all.

I've read the first book and really liked it. So I basically bought the whole series, and then didn't continue on... I have a problem...

Thank you Sophie ! You're the best !
