They actually just get better - even though the focus is more on Jesse and then Lee, there is still quite a bit of Bran in them as well. (I was really sad when I finished, because I wanted more - guess I just connected with the characters :) )

Christine (cdunbar) | 635 comments Hmm... I've never counted the fanfic stories I've read before, mainly because I had no idea what the actual page count was. What does the official rule maker say about this?


ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) I would say it counts as pages read. Nothing said they had to be by an officially published author. I counted last year all the James Potter fan fic stories that are over 400 pages each.


Unapologetic_Bookaholic | 2002 comments Haha...somehow I don't think you'll allow mine, Kate ;)


ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) a bit more erotic Kenjii? lol

Well the ones I've been reading are Twilight slash (which is funny, since I never read past the first book in the Twilight series)...


message 4588: by BJ Rose (new)

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 4413 comments Reset me to zero, Kate! I went to the library yesterday to pick up a book, and ended up buying 4-for-$1. So I came home and placed an order at Amazon, and bought some Audible books. I figured if I'm resetting, I might as well make it worthwhile!
Some books I bought:
The Hellion and the Highlander (Devil of the Highlands, #3) by Lynsay Sands - Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord (Love By Numbers, #2) by Sarah MacLean - The Lady Most Likely... A Novel in Three Parts by Julia Quinn - Betrayal in Death (In Death, #12) by J.D. Robb - The Brutal Telling (Armand Gamache, #5) by Louise Penny - Bury Your Dead (Armand Gamache, #6) by Louise Penny

So much for reducing the TBR Pile!!


ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) lol At least you made the most of it BJ. :)

Christine (cdunbar) | 635 comments Okay, I'm going to have to amend the bonus since some of my favorite books were published after 2000.

New Bonus: Double pages if the story is found on the following lists: Best of the Best Romance Novels of the Twentieth Century or My Favorite Romance Authors.

If you don't see a book listed that you think deserves to be there, add it. I'm looking for the books you'll keep and read time and time again because for whatever reason, it resonates with you. And I'll allow re-reads for the bonus.
