I have a quick question

The book I am interested in mention Nordic and Celtic would that count.

Here is the book


Here is what it says:

NEVER A VIKING'S CAPTIVE
Lovely and dauntless, abducted by invaders from across an icy sea, Lady Brenna vowed vengeance -- swearing no Viking brute would be her master...no barbarian would enslave her noble Celtic heart.

FOREVER A VIKING'S LOVE
Yet Garrick Haardrad, the proud and powerful son of a ruthless Viking chieftan, claims her with a primitive abandon that leaves her breathless, igniting fires of passion that blaze through the cold Nordic nights and forge the unbreakable bonds of a fiery, eternal love

[Diane T.]

So , that means that Hawaii works?

[Susan A]

Jane - -thanks so much for you flexibility and quick responses :)

This book's summary says the setting is Norway in which case it wouldn't count, Mary... Unless it is shelved under 'Island' etc.

Yup.

[Kitten ~♥️ MM series ~]

Fantasy/Made up Island okay?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I'll accept that Kitten :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

For all you MM readers out there still looking for a book this week, I found this list:

Gay Romance That Takes Place on an Island

[Susan A]

Jane -- I'm pre-planning for the next call. WHat would work for mega-wealthy?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Susan - I'll get back to you on this. I'm at work ATM, and to put some parameters around this, I'll need to do some GR surfing ;)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Ok - for mega-wealthy, the following key words in the shelf/list name/précis will count:

* Millionaire
* Billionaire
* Tycoon
Or something that implies a lot more than just wealthy... Please ask me if you aren't sure...

[Susan A]

THanks Jane

As we have less than 24 hours until the last theme is announced, all selection posts for books for week 8 MUST be posted within the next 6 hours - midnight EST US. It simply isn't fair on your team mates if you haven't even bothered to select this week's book, let along having read it in preparation for the coming final week.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Another set of reminders going into the final theme announcement:

* You MUST be no more than 2 books behind when I announce the theme;
* Both selection and completion posts MUST be correct. Refer here. I will not point out errors or missing information.

There is absolutely no leeway in any rules this week.

Hope this worked!"

Link isn't working =(

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Try again... Here is a pictorial view of the teams' status:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2vF...

Yellow highlight means that they have selected their book but haven't completed it...

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Let me know if it didn't work this time :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Week 9

Theme 14: Main character is mega-wealthy
Option 2 key date: 22 January 2014 (must be rated at least 3 stars, and you can't go back further than this 'date read' if you select from a team-member's bookshelf)

You must note how this theme qualifies in your selection post including a link to a shelf with a word such as 'millionaire' or noting that the theme is evident on the GR summary page/blurb/precis.

Please don't be lazy and hope that your description is sufficient.

Words acceptable for shelf names are:
'Billionaire'
'Millionaire'
'Tycoon'
Or their expansions/contractions. 'Wealthy' and 'Rich' will not be sufficient.

I'm not taking any other possibilities for this round. The shelf or precis MUST have one of these words in it.

[Calila]

Jane (PS) wrote: "Let me know if it didn't work this time :)"

It works! That's a handy graph!

[Teresa]

Is this sufficient The Guilt of The Wealthy is book 1 in the The Billionaire Bachelor series...

Yes - it lets me know at a glance where I need to go looking ;)

Just note that the precis fits the theme since 'Billionaire' is all over the GR page :)

I wasn't sure because it doesn't say it in the blurb, just the series... But thank you !!! Very Happy :D

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I opened the 'blurb' to any qualifying words on the GR summary page, which of course picks up the name of the series etc :)

[Hina]

I can't check the shelf of my book since I am on my phone. but in the precis it mentions he is a millionaire. would that work? its the marrying kind by Judy christenberry.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Yup -Millionaire in the précis works :)

[[deleted user]]

I found my book on this list:
Best falling in love with a millionaire/billionaire/king/wealthy man Will that work. on the GR summary it say insanely rich


This is the book in question

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

So long as one of either Millionaire/Billionaire/Tycoon are in the description, you are good to go :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

If you believe your team has finished, please PM me so that I can go check :)

I'm not at my computer all day, so apologies for any delays...

[Jasmin]

Can I read Twilight? It's on this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
And I suppose you could say vampires are always kind of wealthy lol

If the list has billionaire, millionaire or tycoon in it's name, any book on that list is fair game. Go for it!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Update for all the teams.

No team has finished while I slept! :)

Jane, bamaace83 took the pass in week 8. Here is the post where she requested it:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

She requested it early because she was getting married on the 18th and leaving for her honeymoon. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that. =)

Will we be repeating this challenge?

I hope so, as I loved it!!!

Yup - hopefully one more this calendar year :) If there's enough interest, we'll probably start the next in mid-Sept...

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Shannon wrote: "Still no winner?"

Nope. All the teams are still reading or waiting for a member to log in with their final week's selection...

[Calila]

Wow...I thought for sure there'd be a winner by now!

I believe we, the Sexy Six Shooters, have completed this challenge with the completion post from Elin just having been posted.
Thank you,
