February 2018 ~ TBR Challenge!
I’m in! Still have to read my pick for me for January - Arsen....
I havent finished last months, but ever hopeful.
Anna=No Limits by Ellie Marney. I actually bought this at the end of last year which, I guess, now counts as my tbr. Sigh.
Robin= Famous in Love by Rebecca Serle

I took it to mean opposite sides of the track.
Just any opoosites is fun. I like this one.
Robin's is nice because it is easy to find and pink is pretty.

Alright, pink book (which I'm surprised I had any)
Opposites Attract (You all realize how many were on those lists that I've read? lol ) :
Pink might be easier to pick....got to put more thought into this one. 🤔

I’m going try to find one in my lib that combines both lol
I'm in! I think i want to find one with a pink cover
Just realized that I never said that I'm in, so I'm in! No clue about the book but will definitely be enemies to lovers, something with lots of wonderful friction!
I was going with a pink book but Robin clarified for me that In Harmony
is an "opposites" book, so I am going with that. It doesnt come out for few weeks, but that is ok...I shelved it way back in August, so it counts baby!!!
i'll join you with Art & Soul...
Ela wrote: "i'll join you with Art & Soul..."YEAH! We can't go wrong with Brittany Cherry, right?
I loved Art & Soul.....no, you can't go wrong with Brittainy Cherry!
Oooooo, I will join you in art or soul.
Just saw Mariana Zapata's new release, which appears to be enemies to lovers, and it was on my tbr already, so my I'm reading:From Lukov with Love
I reading that too - so that can be my pick - thanks Nay!
Diiiittttoooo’s to NayNay and Paula❣️Zaaaapaaataaaa 🤩
Really hope this one goes better for me than Dear Aaron 🤦🏻♀️
I know; I didn't read Dear Aaron because I heard stuff that made me decide to skip it.

Me too. I was soo disappointed with dear Aaron. Dnf. But the new one has potential :)
I loved it!
5* for me - I love all her books. I liked Dear Aaron too.
Started
and it truly is amazing...and it's sort of a pink cover, right???
Lisa wrote: "Started and it truly is amazing...and it's sort of a pink cover, right???"Sure! The pink book I almost picked was the same type of pink.
Ooooooo Lisa keep us posted mmmk. Robin could stop gushing over it...😭
Can you rate on a “rip you heart out” scale for me 🤷🏻♀️

I am only about 37%. Nothing has put me in the corner crying yet...but I sense something heart ripping in my near future. The writing style is phenomenal!!!
yay that does sound promising>>> I put it on my P4M
That's a shocker Renee. People seem to be loving it. But I don't always like the slow burn so......
I don't mind the slow burn, but for me, it dragged too much. Probably just part of my pickiness, but I thought it could have been cut down at least 100 pages and still been a very effective slow burn. And I didn't connect with the hero until very late in the book. He felt like a 2-D, cutout character to me until that time, which is a big part of why the story wasn't exciting to me. I loved the last 10%, but that just wasn't enough to make up for the rest.But I'm definitely in the minority--Paula loved it. So don't let my hangups keep anyone from reading it.
On the flip side, there are certain types of methodically laid out books that bore some people to tears that I find captivating, so you just never know.
That's good to know Nay, as when someone says the book is good I keep buying and buying, hence my pick for me is at 36 and growing. Insane really. Then I forget about the book and buy another. 😬😬

Might gbl. I'm not officially declaring dnf yet. But, too many other lovely shinies out there with my name on them.
I'm reading Wait For It by Mariana Zapata right now.... pink words in the cover so that counts right? Loving it so far!!!!!!
Mod
Yes, Grey....that was a good one. *gently nudges Grey towards book*
I just started my "opposites attract" book In Harmony
Can't wait to get into it as I dont really know what its about.
I finished In Harmony
!UPDATED RATING: Changed to 5*****
Leslie wrote: "I finished In Harmony !I loved it! 4.5 ****"
Yay Leslie...I loved it too!
Finished Art and Soul. 4.5 stars and ugh, the stupid book had me in tears! Truly, a beautiful story, but gah, why do these books have to make me cry?FYI, that cover... DOESN'T MATCH. They look late 20s early thirties and they are teens in high school. Just... yeah.
Hey, I just realised I *almost* did the Feb challenge. Woohoo! I read The Difference Between Us
right at the end of January. Does that count???? I liked it - 3.5 stars (which is pretty decent for me). Speaking of covers not matching, though..... yeah, no. The cover model on this one looks NOTHING like what I imagine Ezra to be. He's too young, for starters......
Ooooh Tessa, I loved that book too. Really enjoyed it. I 5 starred it.

February 2018 ~ Anna's pick ~ Opposites Attract Love and/or Robin's pick ~ Books With a Pink Cover
The only *rule* for this challenge is that you have to pick a book from your TBR (to be read) file. We want to decrease the size of our back lists, hence the challenge!
