I don't know about you, but I'm totally excited about this challenge. Today, I re-checked that all the books I noted down as matching the criteria actually match the criteria. I then ended up with more books than I could possibly read, so if any of you need some recommendations or ideas on what to read, I can certainly give you a few extra titles. Though getting hold of those books could be problematic if you don't have a kindle (which I personally don't have, that's why I could only choose from books that I have a home).

Are the wealthy characters part of the story? Do they talk? If so, then yes because the task says 'a wealthy character' - doesn't have to be the main character. Although I do try to stick to books where the MC is wealthy. Just makes it easier to justify.
Teresa in Ohio wrote: "sorry I find that a little suspicious"It's definitely possible. Time zones could be to their advantage. They could have strategized and only had books between 90-120 pages. They could have all been fast readers. Anything is possible :)
The first reader in that group posted her first completion post within 20 mins of getting the category. I too was a tad suspicious but these games are on the honor system so i will just have to trust that she reads super fast.The book was 90 pages so...
Date Task: Week 1Book/cover link: The Boss's Christmas Seduction by Yvonne Lindsay

How book qualified: Male MC is wealthy ("with the elusive millionaire" from book blurb). He is the CEO of his family company, has an island home, private helicopter.

I finished my book as well, but I read halfway through the night...Date Task: Week 1
Book/cover link: Close to Heaven by Pamela Clare

I don't think your book will work, Teresa, since it's not tagged Romance.
I'm going to read another book, starting tonight. But this one is going to take me longer, since it's something like 450 pages

Do you guys think
would work? I’d like to read it now
Ezinwanyi wrote: "Do you guys think would work? I’d like to read it now"I'm not sure. Based on the little tidbits in the precis such as society ball and nobleman I would assume the male MC was wealthy.
Ezinwanyi wrote: "Do you guys think would work? I’d like to read it now"I'm not too sure, because it doesn't say anywhere that he's wealthy. I would keep that one for L is for Laird though.
Thanks, I know he’s a nobleman but I’ve read enough to know that some aristocrats hide their poverty behind their title. So i can’t assume he is wealthy. I just really wanted to read it as it’s a Christmas story

Book: The Player by Claire Contreras

I am sorry but I must leave this challenge. It is too hard trying to find a book to read for this challenge.
Hi Book Baes, I've sent Teresa a message to see if I could help her out. But just in case she decides she doesn't want to play, I am making an exception to my rule and giving you a replacement player, another Jessica. (Might be a good idea to come up with a way to tell them apart!) Since Teresa didn't read a book for the challenge and Jessica can fill in for the entire challenge, I am comfortable about making this exception.So welcome Jessica and help get her started!
Teresa in Ohio wrote: "I am sorry but I must leave this challenge. It is too hard trying to find a book to read for this challenge."Sorry to hear that Teresa! If you're still interested and willing, we will all help you out :)

Welcome Jessica :) We've only just began. Ezinwanyi posted the first task here and the little nitty gritty things here. If you have any questions or need clarification on anything, don't hesitate to ask :)And I think to distinguish between you and the other Jessica we'll just give you each a number, if that's ok? So you'll be Jessica 2 and the other Jessica will be Jessica 1.
Hi Everyone. I was just about to post and say that I could be Jessica G or Jessica 2, but you beat me to it Nicole. Thank you so much Nicole. I'm glad to be on this team.
