Challenge Help

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

I would read them in order, as the familial story builds from book to book and there would be major spoilers within the family if the books are read out of order.

[Sherri]

Thanks Kate & Andrea!

[Megan]

Hi Megan. Here's a few ideas...

Large body of Water


Kneeling


Trailer Park


Town Square
Novels by Tari Faris

[Michelle]

Botanical garden
Like a Flower in Bloom - the garden in this one is privately owned but viewed by others.
A Beauty So Rare - My sister read this one. The cover looks like a botanical garden.
The Nature of a Lady - this one is a public botanical garden.

Amusement park
- an electric park in Joplin, Missouri.

I hope this helps.

I have a ton of books I need to read that start with an E for Tumbling Titles. Someone had posted a list of books that started with E for to help with that particular challenge and for some reason, I cant seem to find where they posted. I'm probably overlooking it somehow. Does anyone remember what thread that was posted to so I can reference it? Thanks!

Crystal - I was part of that discussion. It was posted on the Tumbling Titles thread, primarily in messages 106 and 107. Hope that helps.

I found it that way! Thanks so much Karen!

Glad to help Crystal.

me too!

[Loraine]

I have a bunch of E books to finish also. Guess that is because E is the most used vowel letter LOL:)

[Lynnette]

I need a bazillion E books as well! lol

[Loraine]

Sounds like if we discover a good E book, we should share it here to help each other.

I'm reading and enjoying Ever Constant right now.

That one's been on my TBR for a while, and there are two E books in that series so I need to pick that one up! Thanks!

[Crystal]

Can I ask for help with one more thing?! I'm stuck on the CFD Library Adventure. I need a book with a beverage on the cover. I've read several of them and am not finding many others that aren't part of a series. I've even searched for Christmas novellas with a beverage like hot chocolate or coffee on the cover and just seem to be coming up short! Thanks!

I'm on the same 'hint' . . . and I found Season of My Enemy that fits the bill.

I recommend reading the series in order too, as it builds along the way. :)

Anyone got any suggestions for a book with a character who is a professional athlete? Also, a question about that . . . do Olympic athletes count? Because, technically, they're not professional athletes.

[Michelle]

Both of these books have characters who are former professional athletes.

[Lauri]

My Phony Valentine has a professional hockey player.

Would that be My Phony Valentine by Courtney Walsh?

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Most Olympic athletes today are professional athletes. The only way a book featuring an Olympic athlete wouldn't work is if it specifically said the athlete was an amateur.

Hmmm . . . it looks like I will need to do some research. 🙂

Yes, sorry for leaving off the author.

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

No worries, Lauri! Just wanted to be sure I had the right recommendation!🙂

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

Does the Bradford Sisters series need to be read in order?

[Michelle]

If you want to read the whole series, it's best read in order. Willow (the sister in book 2) has character development in book 1.
All of the sisters are introduced in book 1. If you just want to read book 2 for the challenge, it should be ok.

thanks! I do plan on reading the entire series, so I'll just plan to read them in order

This library 'board game' challenge is . . . challenging (lol!). (I love it, though!) Does anyone have any ideas for a book with a character that cooks for a living? No one else in the game has actually landed on that space, ironically enough, so I can't piggyback off of their ideas. 😉

[Bridget]

Serving up a Sweetheart by Cheryl Watt

Josi S. Kilpack has a Culinary Mystery series

I've not read either of these so not 100% sure if it fits the challenge, but those are the two I thought of

[Bridget]

Two more I found:

While Love Stirs by Lorna Seilstad - MC does cooking demonstrations

Death by Food Truck - 4 cozy culinary mysteries

Maybe The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan ? Been too long to confirm is completely clean but I loved it.

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

thanks!

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

y'all, I'm SO silly . . . I just realised there's a cook character in the book I'm reading (Three Little Words ) . . .
my brain must have gone on holiday without me! 🤣

[Bridget]

haha

I read awhile ago (actually the whole series).
Also this year read Civil War books and that has a consistent B Character of Tempy the cook in them.
