Woohoo another 5 rating. I have this on my list next but I gotta wait a week because it doesn’t fit in my things this week. It better fit next week.

[Leslie]

I'm really hoping that the sequel works for a challenge soon. She's definitely on my list of authors I need to read.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Five stars, heck yes!

My little Amy Harmon loving heart is so happy right now. :D
Now that you've read that one you should be good to read The Smallest Part at any time (even before The Song of David, though I'd still go with David next ;)

I'll have mine done today. It is fantastic. It's not a romance IMO, even though that's second on the MPG listing. It is a testament to her amazing story telling because everything about this book is the stuff I usually shy away from, but I just can't get enough of it!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Aren’t you glad I mentioned us reading Amy Harmon for the task? *wink, wink* (JK. Sort of. LOL.)

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I think it’s so neat how she writes across such a broad range of genres.

I am so happy too..I had never heard of her before. Now I have a whole new list to enjoy :)

Can't wait to find out what our next task is and who I will discover.

We are on a roll this week with 5's. I added that to my reading list also.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Oh, no... are we waiting on me already?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I have a feeling mine will be a five, too. I guess we shall see!

Which one are you reading?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

[[[ Frankie ]]]

& it’s really good (which I kind of already figured it would be!) I love her writing. She really brings it to life.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I’ll be done tonight.

[bamaace83]

Cool, I have that one to read also. :)

Excellent. I'll wait to pick my next book until we get our new task :)

How it Fits: Team chose to read books by Amy Harmon

[[[ Frankie ]]]

4.25 stars - went ahead & rounded it up to 5 since Goodreads doesn’t allow half or quarter stars (which they totally should, by the way).

I also had to rush through it & I feel like I wasn’t able to enjoy it as much for that reason.

Oh & because this flu is killing me. I’m honestly starting to feel a little better since my COVID test came back negative. (Not in panic attack mode anymore. LOL.) But still feeling like total crap. Soooo... I think that’s something else to factor in, as far as why I couldn’t LOVE it like I wanted to. :]

[[deleted user]]

All checked in! Can't wait to see what our next task will be!

I'm sooooo happy that your test came back negative. Now you just have to feel better ... hopefully that happens sooner than later!!

I don't know how you're able to focus on ANYTHING!

But I've given 4 stars to Amy before. LOL! I know I did for A Different Blue, and Infinity + One says 5 stars on my shelf, but it was more of a 4.something rounded up.

Yay!! I hope she posts tonight :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Yay, you've completed the first task! Here is Task 2:

14. Read 4 books with fewer than 500 reviews.

You can find the number of reviews listed on the GR main book page.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Thanks, Leslie!

& yeah, Cyndee, it’s really hard to focus on anything. But push on, I must! My reading challenges are counting on me! LOL. 😂

Ooh, I like this task! The book I planned to read next has only 43 reviews. Wooooo!

[bamaace83]

I hope you're feeling better. I'm glad you didn't have covid but the flu can be just as bad. Cool, I can totally find a book for this one. I haven't picked my books out yet for this week so I have some planning to do.

[Leslie]

I found a book with 17 reviews :)

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Thanks, Anna. Yeah, I hate the flu... so miserable.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I think I ended up deciding on...



...which has 34 reviews. It’ll be one or the other!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Leslie wrote: "I found a book with 17 reviews :)"

Which one did you decide to go for?

[bamaace83]

I'm reading this one. It has 41 reviews.

Ever After at Sweetheart Ranch

[Leslie]

I'm reading Cowboy Reality Romance: Kip


It works for another challenge too :)

[[deleted user]]

I've got 2 on my immediate TBR for other challenges that I can choose from so I'll probably choose whichever is shortest. LOL!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Luckily the book I’m reading works for most of my team challenges, 5 or 6... plus some of my individual challenges! Got lucky with thus one.

I'm so excited that you're getting to use one book for all of these! I am having the opposite issue where I'm needing to squeeze in more and more books each time a new task is announced, since they aren't cooperating. I'm one wrong challenge task away from panic. LOL!

[bamaace83]

Lol! I’m on the same boat as Cyndee. My books are not lining up one bit. I’m like come on something work for me over here. I’m working hospital today so I doubt I’ll have time to fiddle with stuff but maybe tonight I can. I’m halfway through one book that does fit for two things. Then it’s back to a book per task unless I can make the cards fall in place.

You guys are killing me with these super fast completions. LOL.

Mine was a short one :)

[[deleted user]]

I'm just starting mine this morning but I should be done no later than tomorrow! It's YA and a shorter one, so those are a little easier to speed through. I had to get through that stupid anthology first. LOL!

[bamaace83]

It's only because I needed it for like three things and it had to get done. I'll probably be slow the next go around depending on the book.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Be done tomorrow!

Awesome...I'll be ready :)
