Can we go back to New Jersey?😂 I can't find a good one set in Texas, and the ones I can are historical romances, which I avoid as much as I can.If not, then I'll go with the historical romance but is there a tiny chance that we might take New Jersey?
I'm such an idiot, I should have checked earlier. Or maybe anyone of you can suggest a contemporary one set there?
Okay I found one! I found a book, and it's set in Texas and it's not historical romance. And I'm going to read it. So it's all good :)

Moving back home to my parents’ cattle ranch in Texas was the last thing I thought I’d be doing.
But, here I stand … in front of my high school girlfriend. A beautiful, confident woman has replaced the young girl I once knew and loved. Hell. I’m still in love with her.........

Sorry I didn't get back to the thread. I didn't see your struggle but glad you found some books. If your willing to do an extra book that's great but you only need to do 2 so we have a total of 6 books read.
Does the specific book I'm reading need to say the state in the description? I'm on book 10 and it doesn't like most of the othersBite Club
Never mind, it's in a list so it's fine
Yes, it works. I asked in the Q&A. I saw your post as well 😀

Remember, when you are posting your completions to make sure you let me know how you know the book qualifies. I need more than 'set in Texas' in this case - from the precis, tagged, list, etc. And again, make sure you use the Kindle page count. Most of the posts were good, so just a reminder. 😊

Also for the second book, it's a book of the same series and set in same place and it was mentioned in a list about Texas books.
Here is Task 3:18. Read a minimum of 750 pages in books tagged/shelved as children.
These books can be children's books (as long as it meets the page count) or books with a child or children. The qualification needs to come from tags/shelves. Please provide the page number of your qualifying tag and how many people have tagged it - this makes it much easier for me to find. Links are great too. 😊
