that's too bad :(

I see. lol

Anyone in our team who has read Emily Henry?

Have you already read something by Emily Henry? Because I'd be interested, but from what I heard I'm not sure 100% that her books are for me. I've heard a lot of good things, but also a lot of mixed things too. So I'm not sure...

Sounds glamourous ! :)
I like it !

I’ve made some progress in today. Would you say it works well for the “ball” prompt as well?

Tomorrow I will concentrate more on Daughter of the Moon Goddess so we can validate our sun/moon pairing

Sounds good to me ! :)

I have a suggestion for a first pair for Erato (Erato wants to feel the love and the romance. She’s quite traditional so polyamory isn’t her thing. Instead she’d like 10 pairs of books. How you create your pairs is up to you, but creativity is to be applauded.) I'm currently reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess. It'd be nice to have a book with the word "Sun" in the title to make a Moon/Sun pair.
What do you think? I'm sure there are plenty of interesting books with Sun in the title.

OK great. I'll mark on the spreadsheet that it has been on my shelves for years

For this new mini, it's the finishing date that counts right? The starting date doesn't matte right?
Because I'm planning to finish Moby Dick at some point, and that is definitely a veteran on my shalves. I had it for at least 7 years, if not more

Sammy wrote: "We can read another 167 books (168 included Beth's book she just finished), and we will need 166 of them to fully complete the mini!

so choose your books wisely ;)"

😯 I need to go read the rules of this mini to make sure I don't waste a read

City of Bones mentions mermaids:
P 115: "She turned again as they passed a champagne fountain: an enormous silver dish, the centerpiece a mermaid with a jar pouring sparkling wine down her bare back."

Doesn't have scenes on a boat? Synopsis says the guy is a fisherman

Tone's Never Seduce a Scot has a deaf character

On the spreadsheet now :)

I haven't put it on the spreadsheet yet, but my MM romance still fit for 3 of them.
Fake It 'til You Make Out, by Isla Olsen
2) features twisn
3) author's last name starts with O
5) mention of the Olympics and World Cup

This team is simply awesome :D

Sammy wrote: " blue or green?"

I consider that to be blue. But I know a lot of people disagree with me with that kind of color. lol

Poison Promise takes place in the city of Ashland, and at some point Sophia is baking sourdough buns. :) And it fits the page number requirements.

Hooray !!! :D this just made my day !
