I need to read Bond this month which has been tagged Men with Children, so that one definitely suits me :)

I hate going through those shelves - they take forever!! LOL.

[⚣Michaelle⚣]

I'm gonna start an FtL because it's also YA (which is another challenge)...I'll check back for a decision and switch if I need to!

[⚣Michaelle⚣]

Also, does it need to be on a list or shelf, or can it just be tagged as Friends to Lovers?

OMG, that was the best of the series, for certain! *I LURVE ME SOME HARRY...and Steve!

I've still got to read Magpie from the spin-off!

[Shannon]

Either is fine with me. I have books for both that will work!!

I do like John Inman as an author and this book was good.
Seemingly unrelated people are invited to a party at a remote house. One by one the attendees are then murdered.
As usual I didn't guess the murderer. A good read.

This was a new to me author whose book I really enjoyed.
Two cops, one openly gay, the other supposedly straight.
naturally the other cop turns out to be bi.
A good plot with a even better mystery.

Please correct this to completion post - I skipped right over it initially.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I have you complete for Task 6, your next task will be assigned tomorrow. Is any task going to be a challenge for you?!

Yes, but we arent telling.

These are the categories that we still need to make decisions on (there may be more though that I've missed...)

* 55. Pick another team and each member reads one book that was read by a member for this challenge. No pass for this task: Teams 9, 7, 11 or 13
* 52. Read 6 books set in the same location, teams decide the location. Current options were New York, California, England and Texas.
* 65. Read 6 books set in the same country outside the US, teams decide country. Australia or UK
* 51. Each teammate reads a book published in the same month and year, teams decide. I came up with March 2019 or October 2018. Please have a look and see if you have a preferred month and year.
Shannon - March 2020
* 61. Read a minimum of 1500 pages in books by the same author, teams decide author. Suggest Lucy Lennox due to her large list and that everyone has another book of hers on their TBR I think, and since we are reading Sloane K for the same series.

Also - Kat hasn't said she won't just make up a task - so we still may not be able to plan
Hard when two members live on opposite sides of the world ;)

[⚣Michaelle⚣]

55 - any of them, no preference
52 England
65 Either, but if England is the choice for same location, then I'd prefer to switch it up with OZ for this one
51 I've got books for both dates but prefer October 2018
61 I don't mind Lennox. I've got half of that Made Marian series to finish.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Shannon - I've lost your month of birth! Could you please let me know again so that I can update my tracking list?

Thanks!

Happy to go with a different author if you have a suggestion :) I just threw it down since we were all comfortable with her for the series...

[⚣Michaelle⚣]

No, that one is fine. It especially works because if I have to pull a shift - I can listen to the audio for at least one! (I figured I'd end up reading at least 2)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

The FAC author list has expanded to include Sarina Bowen in May. So the latest list of 2020 FAC authors are:

*Julia Quinn
*TJ Klune
*Jeaniene Frost
*Tessa Bailey
*Sarina Bowen

Sarina will help out the non-Klune readers :)

[⚣Michaelle⚣]

LOL! I've read all of her MM so that either means a re-read or having to choose between TJ and MF...have to say that TJ might win on this one.

Oh dear.

I love rereads so I know that will likely be what I do. And I loved Us by Bowen and Elle Kennedy, so I would probably read that since its ages since I read it the first time...

Also have Goodbye Paradise that's been lingering on my shelf for ages. It might push it up.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Updated post with team decisions (or choices to be determined):
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Shannon]

55. Team 13 (Jo Smut, AliciaJ and Elizabeth have tons of books)
52. England
65. Australia
51. October 2018 is fine by me.
61. Lucy Lennox is fine by me also.

I vote Sarina Bowen.

My birth month is October.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

45. Read 4 books by one of the 2020 FACs.

I believe we can pick which author to read. At the moment, this isn't a team decision 😅

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Just re-looked at my preferred Publication month/year:

March 2019 wins as they are all audios for me, which is way easier, but I do have one audio that I plan to read for Oct 2018.

Jane (PS) wrote: "Also have Goodbye Paradise that's been lingering on my shelf for ages. It might push it up."

I've been trying to scale back on the re-reads after doing so many in the first quarter.

...but I totally forgot about the second one to that series. I'll use that if I have to!

[Shannon]

I'm really fine with whatever you guys decide. I have so many freaking books, there's nothing I won't have a book for.
