Delicious Deeplaying musical books here - so hopefully they make sense - not adding any, just moving them around to fit the task I screwed up...
20.9 - Moderators' Pet - Carly's Task: Screen Sisters
Option 5
Caleb - moving from 30.9; the female MC is a strong female both literally and figureatively - literally because she is a blacksmith; figureatively because she is doing a job in a historical fiction that no woman did
25.1 - Laurie ME's Task - A Tribute to the Women in my Life
**A. - option 4 - On Dublin Street -700 odd people have it shelved as romance, moved from 30.9**
B. - option 6 - The Good Thief - James Buchanan (GR Author) - 21 ppl have it shelved as mystery, one of the MC's is also a policeman for LAPD
30.9 - Peebee’s Task - Schoolhouse Rock
Book A - Option 1 - Just For Now - book 3 in the series
Book B - Option 3 - Carved in Bone - from the authors profile - Jefferson Bass - Jefferson Bass is the pen name of Jon Jefferson, writer, and Dr. Bill Bass, renowned forensic anthropologist - similar combo for Ilona andrews approved in the THT
This should be fixed now - hopefully
