Can you add that this is your second book please.
Certainly... I’ll edit the post. Sorry bout that.
Actually, I read Flow by Kennedy Ryan and that was my second book. I just forgot to put that in the bottom of the post. Or did that one not qualify?

You did get it on the third though. My eyes feel all crossed after going through all the threads, sorry about the error.

I was literally about to check and see if we had 8. Are we allowed to ask a question in these comments? Because I thought I’d read something that said we weren’t supposed to have discussions. Is that just in the Completion posts?
April, just no discussions in the completion posts - it makes it easier for the captains/MountainKat to find the completion posts.Alright - who's planning for H already?
H is for Holiday - Read a holiday book, can be in title, précis, or tagged.
H is for Humor - Read a funny book, tagged to describe that.
H is for Haunting - Read a book labeled as PNR.
H is for Hug - Read a book with a hug on the cover.
I'm going to try to find novellas for all of them and see if we have a shot for the speed rose this time. Anybody have a recommendation for novellas for any of those, especially if they're in Kindle Unlimited?
I'm trying to come up with a list too- H is for Haunting is going to be tough for me. I do not like Paranormal books at all.
This is what I've come up with so far- (they are all mm)H is for Holiday - Turkey in the Snow
H is for Humor - Blue Days
H is for Haunting - How to Howl at the Moon or Good Bones
H is for Hug - Served Hot
Michaele, I'm a huge paranormal fan so I bet I could find something. What tropes do you like? Do you mostly read m/m? I read The Magpie Lord for another challenge. It's a historical paranormal, m/m, between a rich criminally-inclined lord and an impoverished wizard investigator. Loved it! The Wolf at the Door is seriously one of my favorites ever. It's a contemporary suspense with an FBI agent investigating some suspicious deaths with a werewolf agent. Delightfully angsty, with a flawed hero and ridiculously awesome tension.

It's a historical..."Lately I've been reading almost only mm - I got a little sick of some of the common tropes in fm books (like unplanned pregnancies - they annoy me so much!). I don't mind angst sometimes as long as it is not too over the top. Lately I've been liking sweeter books - where people are nicer to each other - that sounds weird. Life can be hard so I like fluffier reads I guess.
I don't know why I don't like paranormal - I guess I don't like spooky or creepy? The only paranormal I've read recently and really enjoyed was the How to Howl at the Moon series.
I also prefer to find stuff on audio which complicates things further :)
I’m sorry ladies, got wrapped up in work the last two days. Snow storms and excessive call-ins when that happens tend to make everything about work...For Holiday the novella I’ve got is Hoops Holiday by Kennedy Ryan.
I’m kinda iffy on Hugs covers though. Like Charmed by the Bartender by Piper Rayne. I think that’s a hug. Not sure what others would think...

I don't think hug will be picked - too many people asked for cover approval :)
Date 4 - HH is for Holiday
Read a holiday book, can be in title, précis, or tagged. Holiday can be either the US or British version. It can refer to a public or religious celebration or a vacation. For either version, books must qualify through the title, the précis or by being tagged/shelved.
Remember books must be 90 pages and MPG romance!!
You have until Friday, January 18 @ Midnight US EST to post your completion(s).
