The Amazing Race Team Challenge - Literarily the Best Team (5)

[Autumn]

I don’t think I’ve really read any mafia books. I read Killing Sarai by J.A. Redmerski a few years ago and remember liking it. It’s not mafia but it’s darker and involves a contract killer.

[Nikitha]

Ok thanks Autumn! I'll check it out

[Deanie]

Sorry, Nikitha, I don't read mafia romances.

Dragon's Lair is $7.99 on Kindle but it is on Scribd, if any of you have that. I can go with it, though motorcycles really aren't my thing.

The only romance series I'm reading now is Masters of the Shadowlands (which is BDSM themed, and not available on Kindle Unlimited). I'm finishing up the Rizzoli and Isles mystery series and the Cozy Corgi Mysteries (which are adorable and on Kindle Unlimited).

The Wedding Pact is on Kindle Unlimited. Though I know I'm going to read Unwanted Wife no matter what because I need good "U" books for a spell-it challenge :)

I'm open to whatever but would prefer not to spend a lot on a book I'm only reading for a challenge.

[Aiswrya]

Okay let's reading wedding pact then :) Happy reading everyone!

[Autumn]

Sounds good! 👍👍

Here is your next task:

All chosen books need to begin with the same letter, disregarding articles (a, an, the). Remember to use the first edition Kindle edition page count!

[Aiswrya]

Thanks Kat!

Someone pick a letter! What’s your favorite? Lol

[Autumn]

I added the book link. :)

My son's name is Colton so my favorite letter is C lol

Other letters I like are A, J, M, R

Anyone else have a preference?

[Aiswrya]

C it is :) I can’t imagine anyone having a preference one way or the other.
I’ll pick my book in the morning. We have to read 1000 pages, so let’s all post our selections here to make sure we reach the page count. I really must stop reading and sleep now. Else I’m going to be a zombie tomorrow lol. Good night :)

[Nikitha]

Made the change Kat!

[Aiswrya]

This book was utter trash! Awful read

[Aiswrya]

I read Dragon's Lair. It was pretty good! Typical accidental baby book, but it was funny and entertaining. I'd recommend it :)

[Nikitha]

Cool, thanks!

[Autumn]

I read dragons lair the other day when you posted it. I liked it a lot. It was a fun quick read.

Just a heads up, I haven’t been able to read at all today. I have a test that I’ve been studying for. I should be able to get further along in my book tomorrow.

No problem! Good luck on your test :)

I love Susan Stoker! Her sexy military men and Kristen Painter's Nocturne Falls series were what got me back into reading romances after not reading them for a while.

[Nikitha]

What are you reading Deanie?

[Aiswrya]

Here is your next task:

57. Each teammate reads a book set in one of your teammates' home town, no pass for this task.

Pick one teammate and everyone reads a book set in their hometown. You can use the state if within the US and the country if outside the US. Please let me know how you know where the book is set! Is it in the book details, in the precis, on a list, or tagged? I need to know where to look to confirm your books qualify. 😊

[Aiswrya]

Thanks Kat!

This what we have:
Aiswrya: New Jersey, Deanie: Georgia, Nikitha: India, Autumn: Nevada/ California

I have no preference, although I think it'll be easier to find books set in California. Let me know what you all think :)

[Deanie]

I agree that either California or Nevada would be easiest, but I'm with Aiswrya, that anything is ok with me.

[Autumn]

California is good with me. 😃

[Aiswrya]

Alright, let’s do California! Happy reading!

[Aiswrya]

Reading Just the Sexiest Man Alive

I'm 5 chapters in and I have to be honest here. I'm not loving it! Does it get better?? I'm thinking of switching my pick lol

[Nikitha]

I think it gets better but if you don't like the first few chapters I'm not sure you'll like the rest xD

[Aiswrya]

Oh man! Yeah, I think I'll switch my selection then. I can't imagine a 30 something year old man behaving so immature lol
