My apologies, Miss Bookcrazy. I've added them now.

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

No letter "G," Miss Catherine. However, we have red under "R." Also, I added several others, including "book titles: that start with "T.""

[Catherine]

I know there's no "G" but I was thinking of the colour :) because it's red...lol

F - friends to lovers theme and Fake fiance theme :)

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Miss Susan, we have "theme: long friendship becomes more" - but I'll add "theme: fake fiance."

I'm going to start close some of these letters and putting them to a vote.

I'll let you know what more we need.

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

What a fun idea for a challenge! I'll think about some things to suggest once I find out if you still need anything.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I think we still need some "R"s, Teresa.

fake fiance :D, this theme is quite popular, there should be some books to choose from ;)

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

Okay, some "R" suggestions:

Author: Karen Robards
theme?: Racy Romances
Title or Series Name: Starts with R
theme: Regal/Royal (book about a regal/royal; title with the words regal or royal)

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

More suggestions. Feel free to use them or not, I'm just brainstorming. :)

For A:

Character: Assassin

For U:
Theme: Undercover (character working undercover)

For F:
Theme: Fling-to-Relationship (starts as fling, ends up in relationship)
Theme: Friends become lovers (saw this was mentioned before but I didn't see it listed under F)
Theme: Food (on cover, foodie mystery, character runs eatery, etc)

For T:
Theme: Technology (techno-thriller, character works in tech field, etc)

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

I like "fling to relationship." Good one, T.

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Added them, Teresa. Thanks!

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

In Post #2, ◆ = indicates it is a final selection...

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Poll for "I" - Round II is here.

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

So for a particular letter we have to read what the final selection is?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yes, ♥Robin♥. However, there will be four options for each letter. This is the challenge impaired group. ☺ And there will be levels, if you want to do fewer letters.

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Thanks LK!!! I thought I had better ask so I understood completely what I was voting on LOL

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

We are trying to speed up the voting process for our F.I.R.S.T. Q.U.A.R.T.E.R.L.Y. challenge, so we're sending out the links to the remaining polls instead of individual invites.



Poll for "A"

Poll for "E"

Poll for "L"

Poll for "Y"

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

It's so fun to vote on all of these polls.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I'm glad someone likes them, Teresa. I was worried we were bugging people too much.

[Teresa]

I like voting, too.

[Lindy]

Except I dont read assigned books

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

They aren't assigned books, Lindy, it's just spell-it-outs or themes or character names or types or descriptions. They don't assign books, just themes to use.

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Voting finished; final challenge is here.
