Oh, you are reading Strong Signal, I see! Love Kai and Garrett.
All of my book boyfriends and two of my new social media crushes are all gay. What does that say about me? Maybe it says more about them. They are all just too adorable.

I read
a few days ago...they were so sweet!I'm all about sporty boys at the moment, so I'm reading
on kindle and 
on audio
I'll take most of your left over genres...scifi, non-fiction, historical...I read just about everything!Except horror...unless pre-screened by K, V, or Emma to determine if my little wussy self can hack it ;)
Emma wrote: "Damn, it's a shame you can't have guest readers, I quite happily read non-fiction. Actually there was a few years of my life that it was the only genre I read. Notnow though, I pretty much read any..."No kidding! Plus I know you like the HF as you've shown me the way with some of them. ;)

Infected series is so good! Book 2 shred my heart into itty bitty pieces. If I need to cry my heart out, this is the book to go to.
Haha! Looks like
is definitely making its rounds lately T & ST!ST - I don't think you qualify as a wuss anymore since graduating from Gretchen Lowell academy!
Yep I don't think any of the horror books we've read would actually be classed as proper horror
Mod
! I'm curious to see what you think, and I really, really need to get my hands onto that book! I want to read that ending!! (And I hope I won't be disappointed...)
Mod
Yes thank goodness someone reads each genre otherwise we would have needed those life rafts
I'm going to be a few hours behind start time on Friday, it opens lunchtime for me so I'm still at work, but at 5pm I'm in there!!!

It's time to get a little more serious - but just a little ;-)
So we don't forget them:
Rules
◈ Books must be started after the start date of the challenge to count towards the challenge
◈ Books must be />100 pages.
◈ Audio books are allowed.
◈ No graphic novels. (Sorry.)
◈ Boxed sets are not considered as "one book" and need to be shelved as separate books
◈ No little children's books less than 25,000 words.
◈ Any genre counts.
◈ Any book in any language will count, as long as it meets the criteria.

Also:
Every book you read needs to be put onto your wobble shelf. Preferably put only the books you have actually finished and which have a read date.
If you are uncertain about anything pertaining to your books or the tasks or even the challenge, please don't hesitate to ask in this thread. Captains will then do their best to answer your questions, and if in doubt, we'll take the issue to the mods.

Just be really careful. They will try to corrupt you (as seen by this example) :P
Mod
We would never corrupt anyone (who isn't willing) :-p
Once you go M/M you never go back :-D
Late again... but my excuse is that I've been reading! What's that you say? What is reading? That thing we're here to do a challenge for!! HeeHee!1. What genre would you rather jump off a cliff than read? Science Fiction
2. What genre would you call you favourite (read most of the time) If you don't know by now, I've not been a very good snakey friend (meaning I've lurked too much and posted too little)... but for those who don't know me, romance is what I read almost exclusively.
3. Is there a genre would you absolutely never read not in a million years, no way, nope never!! non-fiction
4. Is there a genre that you would read at a push but only in a life, death or reading challenge scenario? horror, thrillers, high fantasy.
The number of books I read in a week SHOULD be 3-4 but here lately it's been more like 5-6... which is about to land me in divorce court if I don't curtail it. But these challenges! I just can't say no!
After reading all this comments about genres, I've decided to switch couple of your tasks to non fiction. Just for the fun of it *grins*

Thanks, but I'm wide enough as it is ;-P
ETA: btw, that's a reference to my actual size not to any unwillingness to actually read something different!

Mod
Anyway, just give us a few good recommendations and we'll just forget the whole thing ;-) That way you're just as guilty of corrupting as we supposedly are hehe.
I ain't reading no stinky non-fiction!!!!I think I'm going to start replying in impersonation.
What's non-fiction? Do I have to read?
