It does, but I'm allowing holiday as winter to keep things simple.

Hi all, wanted to let you know that Tink has asked to be removed for personal reasons. She will not count as a teammate for this date.

As many books as you all have been reading, I don't see it as detriment to you. You will still earn roses the same way. The first rose for your first four books finished, with a bonus if you are the first team. You earn a bonus rose for everyone completing the task for the date, with at least 6 books - so one of you will have to double up for this one. And the last bonus is for completing 8 books for the task.

Sorry I didn't let you know before the start of this date - I blame my grandkids for distracting me!

Sorry, I thought the pic of the cover would be enough.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Just saying there are more than 4 colors is enough or listing the colors. You just need to include how it qualifies - seems redundant, but that is required in the completions.

Pam, now that you've read Hopeless I HIGHLY recommend Losing Hope. I don't usually care for re-writes of the same story from a different character's POV because it doesn't usually add enough to the story and we already know the plot twists and major reveals, but Colleen does an incredible job with that story from Holder's POV!

Cyndee, thank you so much for the suggestion. I will read it for sure. I have never read an author so insightful. I love her.

Paranormal (Romance)

Sorry guys...looks like I'm going to start my Hyperbaric treatment today so I probably won't be online when I complete my book. I'll be able to see the announcement @ 3 but I'll be in the chamber right after for 80-90 minutes - which means probably no Speed Date Rose (provided the Procrastinators could even be beaten).

[[deleted user]]

I've got novellas lined up for 2 of the possibilities this week so I can hopefully be more useful in getting us closer to beating the Procrastinators to the Speed Date Rose. The other 2 categories...not so much. 😜

No worries...I hope treatment goes well. I think we’ll continue to ignore the procrastinators.
