Hello 😃 It's okay to join the group, you already a part of it.. and you also have joined a team, this team where you are commenting.

@Mandy
Welcome😃 You pick your own books, they only need to fit at least one of the prompts from the list. The list is posted in message 1, where it says categories.

I think that the fae making their own country is a great move world wide, and by world I mean the world Briggs has made not the world the characters are active in... if that makes sense? Like, it's a good move because we as readers get change, but for the characters... we'll see how things will go.
I don't know how it'll affect the Mercy books but hopefully it'll give it a bit of a shake .

@Brianna
I'm at work now so I can't check how you did it in the last games. Do mean posts like we did what books we are reading?

These people are just sick... I just can't. I get hating something and killing it because of that, it's not normal but I can understand it.. but their logic that they "should have some fun" for "doing something good".


Wooow, the fae dude is one of the Gray lords? *mind blown* It's going to be interesting to see how things will progress after that.

It looks like it'll be a big buddy read for Spanish Love Deception, which is also great because we'll get points for that too 😄

For Group Read books there'll be only two options because the voting is mostly done. Those books are:

I also have a BR for Red Tigress but have no idea under what task it fits or if it does

I'm gonna try and read the most I can today, but I'll probably have chapters for tomorrow too.

* I'm not going to be surprised if Heuter or however his name is the killer, or someone from that organisation because that Ana's observation was cool.

* Eeeeem 😅 the sex scene.. I was not expecting it. All of the Mercy books were chill, or maybe not the last and second last we read... but that's where she was getting more close with Adam... so it's not like I wasn't surprised there either.. just didn't expect it.

Finished chapter 10.. and what a surprise Heuter is one of the bad guys...

Change of cast and location is probably the reason we enjoy it more. I liked River Marked a little bit more than the previous Mercy book because we got a new location of the story. I don't know, I think I liked Mercy from the start, but also that was a long time ago so I'm not sure sure.

I read chapters 5 and 6 because I want to start Merciful Crow, to reread it and hopefully that way I'll trick myself to pick up the sequel too and to finish the duology.
