I asked to see if Terrible in
would count as blue collar. But i should have asked if Chess could count too. She worked for the Church but it could be count as blue collar too right?

Thank you guys for this fun challenge. I really enjoyed reading with you.
It's been fun! I felt a bit sad that my time zone made it difficult to read for the speedy roses, but I honestly enjoyed that we didn't have to write reviews for this challenge. Hopefully there will be a next round. In the meantime I might be signing up for the ptp challenge, let's see what categories there are this time. Someone else going to sign up?
Thanks for doing the captain's work Nicole!
I usually do ptp. I agree it was nice not writing reviews, i am terrible about doing that. I have intentions to be good and write them for all my books, but it doesn't come easy for me.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot.... thanks Nicole for being our captain.
Thanks everyone! It was fun! I actually liked that it was a laidback team challenge. Hopefully we see each other for the PtP challenge.

Hey Ezinwanyi,
I don't think this book qualifies because it isn't tagged romance.
