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 🤭
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."😂
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!

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.

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).

Just wanted to check the entry on the spreadsheet for my #7 book. It's listed for the sin challenge and not the mini-challenge?

Ah crap, thanks for noticing!
God, I really need some time off. I can't see straight anymore.

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 💪🏻
And I FINALLY finished the Monster Book (that's what sleepless nights are for!!)
I'm so happy I can't even say!!!!!
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.
