Sorry, I'm getting confused with the list links. Can y'all type the name of the list we're going with?

Most Controversial Dark Romance list

[Milly]

That's what I thought we were using

[Tiki]

Amelia wrote: "That's what I thought we were using"

We are, I got a little confused from before

[Ris]

That's fine. There were a book or two from that list I was interested in reading.

[Tiki]

Chris wrote: "That's fine. There were a book or two from that list I was interested in reading."

I own many books on the list and I would happily loan any that I can

[Ris]

And I'm really interested in the Hell's Handlers series, if y'all are down for that one.

[Milly]

There’s Pepper Winter’s on that list too, so for those who wanted to read her books, they’re on there

[Milly]

I’m up for The Machinery of Desire series, that Tiki suggested earlier

[Chris]

There are several tasks that include series to be read, so we can separate them? For one task we can read the HH and for the other the MoD? Would that work? (#25, #26)

[Chris]

Also is "Bully" considered dark? It was quite soft...
I just realized that it was included at the list.

[Ris]

#26 doesn't have to be the same series shared amongst the team. Just #25.

[Chris]

Chris wrote: "#26 doesn't have to be the same series shared amongst the team. Just #25."

My bad, for some reason I thought that it had to be the same series.

[Ris]

It's frustrating that Amazon doesn't have a tag for "Dark Romance" so that we could see what series KU had to offer. Unless y'all know of a different tag y'all can use?

[Ris]

Haha, you're good, Chris! All the tasks are starting to run together in my mind!

[Chris]

I can't wait! This is the first time I participate in anything like that!

[Milly]

I'm in way too many challenges in other groups. I've got so much to read! I need to stop myself from signing up for things :(

[Chris]

If it wasn't for the lockdown, I wouldn't participate. Now work is slow mostly because the postal services here has suspended mailing parcels to US , Australia and few other countries and the majority of my customers are located there, so I had to change the creation times, and that had reduced my orders.
+ I finished the custom designs I had to do for some publishers.

[Tiki]

I own all of these on the list and they are all loadable:

I was wondering about that?? Hometown is where you were born and not where you live?

[Ris]

I’ve always defined it as where you grew up, but I can go with however y’all wanna define it. I’m currently residing in Ohio.

California is good, I was born in AZ but grrew and currently live in TX.. so TX is my hometown, has to clarify for myself

[Milly]

Mine’s ~

Decade I was born: 2000-2010
Birth Month: December
Year Joined: 2019
Hometown: Technically London, but I’ve spent more time in the North East. County Durham to be exact. Here it’s kinda different than states. So, County Durham would be the equivalent. If you wanna get more specific as to the broad area Bishop Auckland. But, out of the three London would be the one I’d consider using as a book location :)

[Milly]

By three I meant out of the three I said. Not out of all of us^^^^
Just to clarify :)

[Milly]

I don’t mean to sound rude at all. But SIX?!?! You must be Super Mama. Jeez I could barely handle one, never mind SIX!!

[Milly]

And all in the same 10 years!! Do you even get sleep??

[Tiki]

Amelia wrote: "And all in the same 10 years!! Do you even get sleep??"

yes I get sleep and I have 7 in in a 12 year time spane, also worked full time as a nurse in that time.. It's not easy but I got lucky with a husband who was a world of help. Biologically only 2 are mine but 5 are my niece's I have raised since birth. 2 are 8 month's apart, and 2 other's are 6 month's apart. My oldest born 1998 when I was 19 already married for 3 years, and her mom was was only 16 and unwed, it was us or state, so we took her in and raised her. Granted she moved out at 16 and moved in with her mom then did what her mom did but she is actually raising her son and working full time doing well for herself now. At the time I didn't think about everything I just did despite everything so my niece's weren't thrown into the system. Love my family no matter the cost. In 2002 after my 3rd we had trouble for a little while but pulled though.

My house for years was never quite, I would have 12-15 kid's in my house for many hours with no quite. Had mine, my girlfriends youngest 6, plus few friends from neighbors all hours of the day or night till 2014. I am very used to a full, crazy.. household. most times only girls and every so often handful of boy's

You are a super-woman! I have one and I for the past 3 years I was barely surviving. Now that she is almost 4 things are way better. I can't imagine getting pregnant again.

Decade: 80s
Month: January
Year joined RRRC: 2020
Hometown: Athens

[Ris]

@Amelia, Oh, good! I’m glad you were born in the aughts - I vote for that for our reading decade!

[Ris]

@Tiki, your family is lucky to have you and your husband! I can’t even begin to imagine how your house was like as your kids were growing up - especially around holidays! You have the Brady Bunch beat, haha

[Ris]

@Chris, have you read any good romances set in Athens, Greece? I’ve never been, but I’d imagine it would be a beautiful setting for a book!

[Chris]

Chris wrote: "@Chris, have you read any good romances set in Athens, Greece? I’ve never been, but I’d imagine it would be a beautiful setting for a book!"

To tell you the truth, no, not even one! There are some books published by Harlequin that take place in Greece but the majority of them take place in islands. There are 2-3 known Greek romance authors, they may have some books with stories set up in Athens, but I haven't read them.
I barely read Greek books anymore, unless I can't read the prototype. + Greek books costs about 20euros each, especially novels, unless you find them in second hand shops and thrift stores, it doesn't worth spending that much for a book that you will read only once.

If you want we can search for few books.

[Milly]

Tiki you’re lucky it’s mainly girls in your household. I live in a house full of boys. Literally I’m probably never gonna see another female, in person, till the pandemic is over-

Ready, Set, GO!

[Ris]

[Tiki]

Chris wrote: "Did we ever decide between Pepper Winters or Kitty Thomas?"

Jade West or Piper Stone or Alta Hensley or Clarissa Wild or Loki Renard or E.M. Moore The
all on unlimated

[Ris]

So I got a books by both Pepper Winters and Kitty Thomas, but started the book by Winters because it had more pages (300) than the one by Thomas (155). Let me know though if we go with another author so I can get a book by them!
