Yes...we all read at least one book for the category....we get a rose if everyone reads at least one. There’s also a bonus at stake if we are the first team to read 4 in the category. Have fun reading it and we’ll see how we come out...Post just as soon as you finish.

Sugar Rush, Sawyer Bennett

How Qualifies: Tagged 'billionaire' 10 times
★★★★

I completed book one of this series last week...Sawyer Bennett is one of my fav authors...in this series she picks up the sexual tension a bit more than her other series...and the context of this story line is pretty controversial.

[Tammie]

As you all are checking in...I think it will help us all if we know who plans to finish a book in the first couple of hours. So if you don't mind, please note this moving forward. Also...let's number our posts as a team...see Tammie's post #59

Thanks much!

[Tammie]

The bonus rose for this week has been claimed...yep already...happy reading for the rest of this week everyone!

I will almost always have at least one book done in the first couple of hours. I promise to post if that's NOT the case. (I read really quickly.)

To add the link for your book, you need to click on 'add book/author' above and towards the right of the comment box you are typing in. It opens a window and you type in your book title and click 'search'. You may need to use the title and author to bring your book to the front or search the pages that come up until you find your book. When you find your book, click 'add' and a link for that book will be put into your comment box where the cursor is. Sounds more complicated than it is, it is really easy once you do it a time or two!

Wow. You all are amazing! I should be finishing up my first tonight and you all have done all 8 for the week so far. I'll keep going even though it won't really count for anything.

Cyndee...we need you. If each person on our team finishes 1 book, we earn a rose for that...we need everyone.

Once we have our 8, we are all free to read non-romance for the balance of our week's time. If you do happen to read a romance that fits 'bank'...please go ahead and post it here and I'll add it to our list!

Pam...you did it!! Woo hoo! Now you are really dangerous!

[Tammie]

For our next Date...A

I believe Michaelle and I will likely be able to read a book within a few hours of post on Sat eve...check your calendars...is there anyone else that will have the time...we are close to Christmas, and even for our coming weeks...I think a positive strategy will be to line up who's available to 'go for the rose' bonus.
Having books lined up is a must to be able to go for this one.

A is for Alpha - Read a book tagged as alpha or described in précis.
A is for Alphabet - Read a book with 10 or more different letters in the title.
A is for Another - Read a book in a series longer than a trilogy (at least 4 books).
A is for Animal - Read a book with an animal on cover, about shifters or tagged with animal or pet.

Chime in, if you are able.

[[deleted user]]

I have books lined up for the entire challenge but will have family commitments on the 22nd that may not allow me to get to my selection until later Sat night or possibly Sunday morning. Same thing happened this weekend.

[⚣Michaelle⚣]

I've got no less than 10 books picked out for each category for next week! I may have gone a bit overboard, but I think I misinterpreted the bonus as being the more you read the more roses you earn. (That's not the case.)

I am free Saturday night and have my books all picked out. I should be able to get one done Sat. night.

[Pam from Maine]

Tammie do you want to check these for me please??? Then I can hit it hard Saturday night.

Alpha---Axel Harper Sloan

Yes...a coal miner is a blue collar worker. The precis has that indication, you are good to go.

*Looks like I missed that this isn't a romance MPG...sorry about that! I'll add it to my shelf as a romance and see if we can't get it there...you do the same.

Each new date starts no sooner than 5PM central time on SATURDAY. Kat will make the call...you can stalk her 'call' thread...I'll also post the call in our thread as well. You are way ahead of me...I have yet to decide on my books for this week. If we have 4 who read 'out of the box' we should have a good chance for the bonus...good luck to us!

Axel has 74 alpha tags, Bradley 6 dog tags...all 4 choices are good Pam! I enjoyed Getting Rid of Bradley...Crusie writes 'just right' humor.

[Tammie]

I've let Kat know that we've finished our qualification for roses this week...nice work everyone!

Now that the holiday is upon us...I'll throw out a question for everyone to consider answering and discussing if you wish. Feel free to throw out other discussion questions if you like...

If you could have any book given as a gift for you at Christmas, what would it be?
Kat or other teams...if you are stalking us, feel free to answer as well!

[Tammie]

To answer my own question...I would want Murhder's book under my tree! I hate waiting ...

[⚣Michaelle⚣]

Well, at least yours is at least coming out...I think the ones I'd want most are either languishing incomplete or abandoned altogether.

Like Six Degrees of Agony, If I Ever, Not So Innocent & Shatterproof...among many others!!

[Tammie]

If interested...see if we can get this one as a mpg romance for Pam...tag away if you would like to help! Copper Creek: A Coal Country Novel

Good Morning 13! Date #2 starts today 5pm central. I will be attending a funeral at that time and unable to post the start. If one of you have the time to stalk the announcement thread and post, I would appreciate it. I've downloaded my choices, so I should still be able to complete 1 within 3 or 4 hours of posting...but if someone else is able, that would be great too...I will do my best.

Thanks!
