Right! With all this bingo reading, it suddenly went very quickly!

We are on 43 books, guys!

So I think we'll only accept Jenny's all-you-can-eat book to finish off the week and that last bingo line, and then the rest, please do not finish until AFTER the countdown. Those books will count towards our Envy challenge next week.

Standard NBRC spell-out rules apply.
Meaning, first letter of the title, initials of author or (main) characters

[Vian]

Cool. Thank you!

[Eldarwen]

Sure thing! :-)

Also, articles (a/an/the) can be omitted.

[Eldarwen]

My next book will be - the BOM. I'm loving my turquoise sprayed edges on this book :-D

Sprayed edges have been a fantastic idea for books - I've started hunting them down when in book shops haha.

Date added :) Sorry.

Heading off to the airport now and then have a long layover. Will check in then to see what I need to read for the next mini-challenge.

[Jammin Jenny]

Have we decided which word(s) we're reading for or do you just want us to post the title, author, series name and MCs names when we finish a book so the captain/co-captain can figure out where to put them to get the most points?

Shame! Because that really would've been awesome haha. Maybe we can find something similar? I'll go have another look at the grid. maaaaaybe maybe

I have bolded them in the long list of words we've found on the first page. We're keeping the entire list because it will come in useful towards the end of the week in case we cannot gather all the letters required to complete these ones.

Does a book being MPG romance count for Lust we think? Trying to make
work for a bingo if it helps with points

[Melindam]

Stacie, it's guilty pleasures we need for Lust + I don't think the cover is more thsn 50% red.

Okey doke. It's got guilty pleasures anyway. And will work for W so either way it's a good book to read. Actually, it's a terrible book but I need to read a book with an average rating of under 3 for another challenge.
