Mini-Challenge: Lust (Part 2)
#137 on the NBRC Bad Book Recommendations List - Recommended by Rachel from our team 🙈 Not sure if it counts? Guess I should have checked who recommended it before reading it...oops 🤭

[Nicole]

I'm holding off on my #7...got about 6 chapters left and then I'm done. So will start putting a dent into #9.

As for Xmas monster I've read three so far. Loved the fact that the author of the second book included a glossary at the end because as I was reading I was highlighting parts. My favorite insult: "You are a bacon brain."😂

[Eldarwen]

Yes, that bad book rec counts! There's no rules that says it has to be a member from a different team. I also read a book that was recommended by our team :-)

Also.. bacon brain?!?? hahaha

I interpreted that to mean pig-headed but according to the glossary it is term for a stupid person. So same same but different 😂

Does this count as a blue cover book? I’m only asking because It’s one of those weird colors. I can still put it down for something else but trying to maximize points!

Looks blue to me.

I've read 7 of the 18 books in the Hot on Ice: A Hockey Romance Anthology. Got a lot of free time today at work because of National Day celebrations (and also a long weekend coming up). So will aim to finish this anthology today or tomorrow.

[Melindam]

Melissa, it's blue. :)

[Melindam]

Awesome, Nicole!! :)

And? How are the books reading?
I'm not sure how fond you are of the series up until that point but I stopped after #9 (that was an awesome book though with Edward).

I have a super long weekend. Only returning to work on Wednesday 💃🏼 I made a sizeable dent in my #9 book and will start on #12. Will also aim to finish the Xmas monster today. I have read 5 out of the 27.

And since I have time, if anyone knows of another anthology please let me know 😊 I'm willing to read pretty much anything in the name of getting more points 💪🏻

[Melindam]

You're a hero, Nicole. :)

[Melindam]

Book Rambo, I mean. :)

[Melindam]

And I FINALLY finished the Monster Book (that's what sleepless nights are for!!)



I'm so happy I can't even say!!!!!

[Nicole]

Just looking through Amazon (and trying not to buy anything on Black Friday) and found Hot for the Holidays: Thirteen Naughty & Nice Novellas - 1,078 pgs and it's free if anyone is interested. It's not a gatestopper but it's worth 200 odd points.
