So if when you are looking for books for the upcoming weeks and notice that, you can add it to a romance shelf and so can your teammates! Even post in the Q&A thread, people want to help and will shelf it too. It seems to come up on new books mostly, people haven't had the chance to shelve it yet.
Update for Date 3 - you earned 3 roses!
Fourth dateH is for Holiday

When I started reading a book it was over 4 stars and now it dropped :/ I guess that happens when it's newly released one :D Time to find something new.I had trouble with my wisdom teeth and hopefully I can get this one extracted ASAP. I will probably have to wait a couple of months but as long as it doesn't hurt in the mean time I'll survive...
Anja, post the book you select next and I will confirm it, that way if it drops I already have it ok'd for you. I'm sorry I can't help with the other one, but I'm around for a few more minutes tonight!
I’m going to post my pick just in case the rating drops, since it’s pretty new:Rough Terrain by Annabeth Albert
Average Rating: 4.09 stars

Second book this week
The book I've read at beginning of the week has rating over 4 now. Can I still post it?
Anja wrote: "The book I've read at beginning of the week has rating over 4 now. Can I still post it?"Well, that is hard. Technically it needed to be over 4.0 when you read it, but you said it was when you started and then dropped while you were reading. I will allow it if it is still over 4.0 when I check it. 😊
