Vi’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

It was a browser issue for me too. Happens only in chrome.

Glad I could help, Melissa & Leslie!!

Leslie, have a great trip! :)

Yes. It is equivalent to 240 pag..."

Thanks!

Melissa, by the first book you mean ? I confirmed with Countess Paige and it's approved. The word count is 60000 and it's nearly 240 pages. So go ahead and tag it :)

Can I check: has word count 60,000 provided by ARe. That means it's at 240 pages, right? And it works for the TT?

Good Morning, Team! Lots of posts overnight (for me).

@LK - I used to check duplicates but whenever I re-read I add another edition and that means a loooot of duplicates. I've stopped trying to sort it out with the hope that GR adds a re-read feature soon.

I finished up & . That's one more series I've caught up with. I do hope the author can release the next book soon because there are so many open threads in the book.

Also finished up which was good. Now I know why she's so popular. But the next in series is from the male lead's PoV. Not sure if I want to read the same book again (albeit in different PoV)

Karen, you make sense. Usually when I add the book on the main page, it turns up the default edition. When I mark it as complete, then I change it to the edition I read. The two copy thing happened when I did this. Interesting.

Sarah Morgan's med romance are ok too but lately she's concentrating on Presents which suits me. Whenever I want to read one, I pick hers. Mostly hits than misses.

Superromance basically features common man as opposed to your Greek/Italian zillionaires and supposedly powerful romance. For Sarah Morgan, I'd suggest you try from these three: . You can also try (one of her more popular work featuring friends-to-lovers trope) which is a Blaze or her self-published .

Leslie, Tangled is purely Contemp-Romance, Adult. It's complete from the male POV which was interesting. I'm sure you'll like it. ETA: This could be your rec for August :P

Leslie wrote: "Hi Vi! That looks like an interesting series. I've never heard of it. And Tangled looked like a fun read. Is it what is being called "New Adult" (I guess as opposed to Young Adult)?

Great job read..."

The two copies thing happened to me but luckily I caught it when I was updating my books for other challenges. That thing is really weird because I don't know what exactly triggers it.

Wow - that does sound bad. The HQN Presents are usually hit or miss too but certain authors like Sandra Morgan write such good books. I found HQN Superromance much better. Have you read one of those?

Judy wrote: "Every HQN Presents plot trope was in this book- rich billionaire, poor struggling actress working as waitress, insta-sex turns to insta-love, birth control malfunction, secret baby etc. - it seems like she had a list of things to cover and just checked them off.

I'm usually hit or miss with the HQN Presents line- this one was definitely a miss.

Hi Leslie! I just finished up two books for other challenges - - The first book was ok but the second was much better. I'm now sorta invested in the series.

- This is the BOM for another group and it's a Romance from the guy's POV. The first 20% I didn't really like the hero, Drew. He was such a a-hole. But the h, Kate stood upto him on every count and the banter between them was very good as well. There were lots of hilarious moments too. And the grovelling part was very well-done.

Oo, have you read her Travis series? Those are really good too.

I finished up & . The HQN was so idiotic I was tempted to throw it away. I need to find better ones. Gah!

Thanks for the info, LK!

I was thinking the same, LK!!

The premise looked interesting but Sandra Marton usually doesn't work for me. Can I know what happened in those 30 pages?

Judy wrote: "I read 30 pages of and hated it- I'm not going to finish it.

I'm going to listen to tonight, and I'll try a new book..."

Karen, is that bird an owl? It looks like one except for the beak..

LOL, Oo - you always post the best pics.

@Oo - great job with Phoebe!! She looks so cute with the doll!

@LJB: You're welcome to use our thread (and tracking is made easier) Just reserve a spot at this page and post your completed books.

Be prepared for major butt-kicking!! :)

I'm all prepared too! I have some shorter books lined up.

I'm still halfway through and also finished up . The book was ok - the suspense and the romance part was good. And there was more showing for the most part. The major issue I had some was with the writing. It was not smooth - for example, A and B would be having a conversation and then all of a sudden, there'd be a summarized third-person narration of the rest of the conv/happening. It kept pulling me out of the book. A good Romantic-Suspense if the writing doesn't bother.
