November 2018 ~ TBR Challenge
*waves to Grey* 🙋 We have missed you.I am in for this challenge despite me not being into the MC books. I did have this one on my TBR.
Torn
It's been on my list for a while and several of you have tried to nudge me in the right direction. So, I'm going to read...
I've been saying that I'm going to get back into L. Gilley books, so I'm going with The Skeleton King
Where did my darn message go? I'm going to read
also because it's on my TBR and I'm unoriginal!!!

I don't have much in the way of MC books. I have a few freebies, since the last one I bought was Fearless and you all made me read that one. (Thank you for that!) So, I pick
Wish me luck!

Undeniable
This is one of the most angsty, throw-your-kindle books out there.
A bunch of us gave it 5 stars, and 6 of us have it on our favorites shelf.
*side eyes Nay for making Lisa switch books so we aren't twinsies now*
Lisa--I forgot to mention that you may want to read my review; I give warnings about how crass it is (although those will probably make you want to read it even more! *snort*)Leslie--Sorry!!! 😭
Leslie wrote: "*side eyes Nay for making Lisa switch books so we aren't twinsies now*"I shall do both cuz along with being unoriginal, I am a serial people pleaser!!! And borh sound awesome. It's win-win for me!
Oooh, good to know Lisa. So I just need to pout and make puppy dog eyes to get my way with you? Wait... that sounded dirty! You know what I mean.
I may try to read them both too. Why don't we BR Torn?I've been told I should read Torn several times by several different people, but at that time 1) I hadn't read the awesomeness that is 'No Tomorrow', and 2) I let a DNF review sway me into thinking I didn't want to read it.
BUT it also has one of my fave forbidden aspects, so I think I'll give it a go too. I was just reading the blurb, and it says it's not an MC romance. Huh? I guess the hero is just IN an MC? (which is good enough for me--I'm just curious.)
Nay, I thought same thing as several people say it's MC book. Whatever! If he rides a motorcycle than in my eyes it qualifies for this challenge! Hee hee
Just an observation--I was just reading of the blurb of Tied (the book that comes after Torn), and it's really a shame that the author has been made to feel like she has to give a shitload of warnings (that kind of make me not want to read the book). Seems like a short trigger warning about the abuse would be enough. I'd rather not be told everything that's NOT in the book.

Hee hee

Lisa wrote: "Well who can resist that? 
it is!!!" I 5* that one too - loved that series, must go back and read the ones I have missed...
Paula wrote: "Tessa wrote: "I don't have much in the way of MC books. I have a few freebies, since the last one I bought was Fearless and you all made me read that one. (Thank you for that!) So, I pick [bookcove..."Grr. I saw that it had a lot of low reviews. :( I just don't have much MC books. I really do prefer mafia over MC. It's the veil of sophistication that hides their evil vs blatant outlaw rebellion.
Anyone recommend a good MC book, or should I figure a work around? lol I have some I said I want to read but didn't actually buy.
Paula wrote: "Lisa wrote: "Well who can resist that? it is!!!" I 5* that one too - loved that series, must go back and read the ones I have missed..."THAT! If you can find a book like that one, hell, I'll read it with giddy pleasure. :) And no, not the rest of the series. Three really made me not want to read any more.
Oooh, Paula--lucky you! Looks like the one you're missing is Undeserving, Debbie and Preacher's book, which was phenomenal! It may have been my favorite of the series, although since so much time passes between releases, it's hard for me to remember for sure. I know I loved it more than the last 2.I can't believe it's been over a year since that came out. And now we're waiting (again) for a date for the next one.
Tessa--what about continuing with L. Gilley's series?
was great!
Renee ❤️My heroes are ordinary ❤️️ wrote: "Tessa--what about continuing with L. Gilley's series? was great!"Good idea! I'm going to cheat because I honestly don't have MC books, and you all got me with Fearless and buying that one next month to read. :)
Love the Dartmoor series - good one to go with Tessa

Since we're talking about Undeniable, I thought I'd check for me and Ela to see if there's any news about when Undying is coming out.Guess what, Ela? She posted one week ago that she's still writing it.

And what about the final Holy Trinity? This is B/S

you wanna pick something for me?
Changed my mind! Going to read Up from the Grave(Night Huntress #7)
Leslie wrote: "Who's in to read Torn with me????"You know I love a BR but I’m trying to read a few I have from the library before they expire.
I’m reading Bloostained Beauty and then I have a couple of library books to read as well.
Donna wrote: "Leslie ! Torn is so good!!"Yay Donna! Hopefully I like it.
I am so behind that I no longer know what challenge I'm reading for!
Ela wrote: "I am so behind that I no longer know what challenge I'm reading for!"That's ok...just read what you can. The book challenge police won't arrest you, I promise!
I forgot to update ...I finished
a few days ago...solid 5 star read for me!
I finished Torn
BTW, the H is not in a motorcycle club. But he is a biker and runs a bike shop.
I loved the premise of this but it was long and slow. The H was a psuedo uncle to the h growing up and they always had a special bond. When she was 17, they realized they were in love. There were brief flashbacks to h growing up which were sweet but during the whole story, I felt like I was missing something. Like I should know the characters and back stories. I didn't realize this was a spin off. Also, the ending was too rushed.
2.5 **
Started this challenge today. I'm reading
I just realized what my book is going to be for this:Good Gone Bad by Giana Darling (the h is the daughter of the MC president)
Loved Up from the Grave, so said it's the last book!
