This task is limited to Romance lists and therefor Romance books. Please provide a link to the list the team chooses and the number you selected book is on that list in your completion post.

[Ris]

This was our list, correct: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...?

Dark Romance

[Milly]

My Goodreads keeps taking me to the app so I can’t access the full list. However, last time I checked was on there. Can someone please check whether it still is?

[Ris]

Amelia, yes, it is #171!

[Milly]

Thanks for checking, I appreciate it!

It moved to #173

[Chris]

I think I'll read Crow. I had it in my e-reader for quite a while now.

Since the books move on the list what we will do in the completion post?

Post the current list and #

[Chris]

I finished my book, I'll post it later. I'm not sure why it was in that dark Romance list, I think it was quite mild, but awesome none the less.

Task 10 - Romance list


With Visions of Red Book One by Trisha Wolfe
Pages: 202 (GR)
Qualification: #80 on Most Controversial “Dark Romance”
Date Completed: 5/21

[Ris]

Sorry, y’all it took me a lot of false starts (especially after I had wasted two days on only twenty percent for my first pick) before I could find a book that I wasn’t just skimming through! I actually found the above less than twenty-four hours ago and it was GOOD. Chris, the book I just had to DNF was “Stepbrother Inked” which I saw was on your Want to Watch, but I found it to be pretty annoying, sadly.

[Ris]

Also, mine too wasn’t very dark romance-y. Like there was a dark theme and romance, but the romance itself wasn’t dark. Unlike His, which I was skimming through, but “With Visions of Red” just gripped me better. Probably because it was also part thriller.

[Tiki]

I have been working and haven’t had a chance to read lately, sorry y’all! Falling behind

[Chris]

Chris thanks for the heads up! I had marked a bunch of books from the list to check, after I read the synopsis many have been moved.

I still haven't used my computer, once I do
I'll post the completion post.

Dual POV, I think it's one of the best books I've read this year.

Tiki & Chris, I think y'all need completion dates for your posts.

Amelia, how's your book coming along?

[Ris]

Unless, Amelia, you passed and that's why Tiki read two books? In which case, are we complete with the task?

(Sorry, I didn't think y'all were waiting on me if that was the case. I could have stayed up and finished the last twenty pages last night!)
