Oh, I want to do this one!TLC: What to Read Next
Date: 03/01/14 - 02/28/15
Level: Straight Thought
1/50 Completed
(A) STARTING BOOK - HISTORICAL FICTION: - The Thirteenth Tale|Diane Setterfield
✔1. The House at Riverton|Kate Morton|07.07.14|★★★
Book #2 - Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis (Contemporary Romance)
Book #3 - Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord by Sarah MacLean (Historical Romance)
Lizz, I have a question. If the book you find is like book #4 of a series, can we substitute that book for book #1 of the series, or the series book where we are? For example, my second book-- Lucky in Love brings up All Summer Long, which is #9 of the Fool's Gold Series. I've only read the first book of that series, so could I substitute Almost Perfect (book #2) instead?It also brings up Blame It on Texas, which is book #2 of a series I've not started. So in that case, could I substitute the 1st book of the series?
Or do you prefer for us to stick to the list?
this is so much harder than it looks, every book I pick up I've already read the recommendations or they are like book 12 on a series I haven't started yet. I guess its a good think it's a year long challenge.
