Good for you Rachel C.! I'm amazed you have been reading at all. Bet you will be glad to have it done. Good luck on Monday.

I finished my Week #4 book #Nerd (Hashtag, #1) by Cambria Hebert . I really liked this book. It follows a pretty predictable opposites attract nerd/athlete story line but the athlete turns out to be a pretty decent guy. Four stars!

Sandra | 712 comments Hi Amina, can't believe this is the last week. The last 6 week's have flown by! The last category for me is Western Romance.


message 163: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12307 comments Hi Everyone!

I can't believe it is the start of Week 6 already!

This is the last week of the challenge and therefore no need to roll for this week. You should all have one category left to read, having read a different category each week.

Enjoy your last category (mine is Western) - I hope you find a great read this week!

Thanks again for participating and I really hope you enjoyed the challenge :)

We are making some tweaks to the next round and will probably launch it some time in the Fall (look for sign ups in October).

Rachel C. (rachelus) | 611 comments Hi Pam! Here are some road trip picks for you:

The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never, #1) by J.A. Redmerski Amethyst (The Jewel Trilogy, #1) by Lauren Royal Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, #1) by Terry Goodkind

These are all favorites of mine that involve a lot of MC traveling in the storyline :) They are in a range of genres. I hope one of these appeals to you!

Rachel C. (rachelus) | 611 comments Hi Pam, just realized I don't think I've ever actually posted my reviews!

week 1: Ballroom Blitz by Lorelei James - ★★★ - 7/12
  I thought this was a short and sweet story... I only wish it hadn't ended!

week 2: Protector by Diana Palmer - ★★★ - 7/18
  I don't normally read series out of order, but I decided to make an exception for this one since I've heard so many good things about this author! Hayes was hilarious with the whole Iguana thing... I remember my aunt's iguana being really cool but totally anti-red anything, so I can totally relate!

week 3: Driven to Temptation by Melia Alexander - ★★★★ - 7/31
  I love a good HEA and the couple in this one was really entertaining!

week 4: The Stocking was Hung - ★★★★★ - 8/4
  I was going to read Close to You, but because of the time restraint chose to go with The Stocking was Hung instead since it's shorter. I'm very, very glad I did. I couldn't stop laughing! I will definitely be revisiting this book around Christmas time and I've already broken down and bought the kindle books for the rest of the series that is out so far :)

week 5: I will be reading When Beauty Tamed the Beast, but I'm working on the first book at the moment before I delve in (I'm reading the first book as part of another challenge, so decided to read them in order) :)

Thank you so much for all the great picks!

message 172: by Rachel C. (new)

Rachel C. (rachelus) | 611 comments LOL. Yes, free works very, very well. Defense was passed; I am now a Master! I only wish I had mad kung fu skills to go with it... Sounds good! If you want another pick or two, let me know; I can come up with a couple of others since I just realized all of the books I recommended are on the larger side

Pam | 1048 comments Rachel C.
Finished Week 5 and Week 6
Bad Things (Tristan & Danika, #1) by R.K. Lilley full props for both a musician and a dancer in one book. I gave it ***. I knew it wasn't going to end well--clearly Tristan has control issues. But the sex was pretty hot.

Amethyst (The Jewel Trilogy, #1) by Lauren Royal *** 1/2 stars for this. It's been a long time since I've read a Restoration era historical novel. It was a nice twist on the traveling theme and I'm always happy to discover a new writer with a series of books! Plus it was free on Amazon :) It's been fun. Good recommendations.


message 183: by Rachel C. (new)

Rachel C. (rachelus) | 611 comments Yay, I'm glad you liked them! I actually ended up reading Amethyst a couple months back because it was free, too :) I'm working on A Kiss at Midnight (the first one in the series for When Beauty Tamed the Beast) and I'm pretty much eating right through it so should finish week 5 and 6 by the end of the week!

Rachel C. (rachelus) | 611 comments Pam,
Finished week 5.
When Beauty Tamed the Beast (Fairy Tales, #2) by Eloisa James - 5 stars. Loved it! I'm really liking this series :)
And for week 6...
Offside (The Barker Triplets, #1) by Juliana Stone I'm about 1/3 of the way through. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it by the end of today (I'm moving this weekend), but I'm loving it so far!

Thank you for all the wonderful picks!
