Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

**hee hee**

Love those pom poms! lol

**hee hee** Me, too. Or is that obvious?

I can't decide! which on these should be my OO?

I went with The Other Side of Us because The Son of Neptune had a long waiting list !

I bought The Son of Neptune for my classroom. In fact, I bought the whole series LOL I ended up getting them for about $3 a piece and free shipping (cause i bought more stuff) off Amazon :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, those books are awesome! I'm eagerly awaiting book 4.

**waves** Hy, CaroB!

Hiya!!!

I'm finally getting back to this challenge! I just started my GG book!

Help! I need a YY book! Any suggestions?

Sorry Gisela I'm still stuck on KK. I have a book but I'm not that keen on reading it and the only other alternative that I found isn't out yet (just my luck lol).

I don't have much, Gisela. I have He Sees You When You're Sleeping, by Mary Higgins Clark. That is, when I get that far!

Let me dig, Gisela, and see what I can come up with.

I've read You Don't Have to Say You Love Me and if it wasn't for this challenge I would have never read it, but maybe you'll like it.

I'm completely stuck on Z any suggestions?

For YY:



Find You in the Dark Series has same name so you have two "You"





York family series

That was harder than I thought it would be. Maybe we need to make this a quickstop too...

I'll be back with something ZZ in a few...

My 'fallback' for Z is either

or (where the title is the same as the name of the hero so technically it works... doesn't satisfy me though.. I'll likely change my mind by the time I get there anyway.

I like the first one Damiellar, thanks :)

Susan, Y is not a quickstop so I don't think some of books from your list would work

You're right, Gea! Ignore the Y books that have a Y word in the title and in the series.

For ZZ:

I'm planning on reading

the Lizzy and Diesel series by Janet Evanovich

by Ben Mezrich

by Melissa de la Cruz -comes out Sept 2013, so far whoever hasn't gotten to Z till then....

anything by Debbie Mazzuca



The Jazz Age Series by Dorothy Garlock



To name a few ;) And this was easier than the YY

wow you lot. I haven't read anything for this in ages thing I'm on g or h still

My next one is M. Who knows when I'll get to it LOL

Susan (susayq) wrote: "For YY:

Thanks Susan! I think I'll go with this one.

You're welcome!

Let us know if you liked it, G.

I just realized I had already read a HH book without realizing - and I'm still at GG!

It was really good so if anyone need a book for H, I really recommend it!

I have a question as well - is it okay to read books in other languages than English for this challenge? I was looking through the library and found a book for OO "Odd och frostjättarna" in Swedish. Would that be okay?
