Laura, you're the one posting this task's completion, as soon as you finish your second book ;)

Our posts crossed ;)
Updated and Posted! πThis challenge is really giving me that push I needed to catch up on some of my m/f books so thank you for that! Xx
Here is your next task:45. Read 4 books by one of the 2020 FACs.
I'll be nice and let you know who they are so you don't have to go searching. π
January - Tessa Bailey
February - Jeaniene Frost
March - T.J. Klune
April - Julia Quinn
May - Sarina Bowen
June - Nora Roberts
And yes, you can use June too. π
I think Jo isn't fond of TJ Klune, so are we picking Sarina Bowen?
Elizabeth wrote: "I think Jo isn't fond of TJ Klune, so are we picking Sarina Bowen?"Im ok with Klune..more choices. Oddly I have two of his books for Scavenger Hunt but I was planning on listening to audio which would take me through Thursday so I won't select those.
I'll choose one of Klune's if we can go with him- I have many of them as my daughter loves his writing.
With Bowen there is only 1 book I haven't read. That's ok if you all want to go with her but I'm fine with Klune.

Actually, I have several books of Klune I'd like to read but only 1 by Bowen. I'd choose to go with Klune.
I can't find any book with less than 350 pages, though. Now I remember why those pile up in my TBR. I'll probably go with audio, too, so it will take at least a couple of days.
I think this is one of the last chances to take a PASS, for anyone needs it this week!

Wow. This one blew me away. Glad I gave it a chance! On to #2 in the series. Really it was awesome. Perhaps the paranormal is just a better match with me with his style.

Are you sure? Maybe I should ask Kat.

Yeah I saw another team had asked before I think, also just checking other teams that has this task they haven't all read for the same author.
Could be worth a check anyway? Although by looks of it so far all gone Tj anyway so should be fine. π
If need be i don't mind switching though, I've not read anything of Sarina Bowens yet so I'd be interested to try.
OK all checked and MK did confirm earlier in Q&A we don't have to read from same author π
Thanks, Laura. I may have to change authors, I'm less than an hour listening and already needed a break.
No problem! Go for it, that's why I checked as rather read something you enjoy instead of forcing through if not feeling it.
Sunshine hasn't been online since 30th May, she must be busy with RL. If she takes a Pass, we'll need another book.
I noticed that, I figured as much as she is usually quick to update. I shall look for a 2nd book in case we need it π

...crazy times we live in these days
protest... looting...
...be safe everyone
i did pick my book.
...just posted. I should be finished tonight
Yeah the world is rather crazy these days, I hope you're well and staying safe.Take care! Xx
I struggled but I finished my book.
Aww that sucks, I did have a look at those book before but didn't interest. I think my Tj love is purely for the At first series, the rest of his stuff doesn't really interest me.
Laura wrote: "Aww that sucks, I did have a look at thos ebook before but didn't interest. I think my Tj love is purely for the At first series, the rest of his stuff doesn't really interest me."I loved the first three books in that series, I should have gone for the 4th.

Yeah I wasnt sure about the fourth book at first as Corey/Kori hadn't ever really interested me as much as the rest of the cast, but I loved it and still amazing with plenty of humor and the others as usual so I really enjoyed it. Definitely worth read some time π
Laura wrote: "Aww that sucks, I did have a look at those book before but didn't interest. I think my Tj love is purely for the At first series, the rest of his stuff doesn't really interest me."Which goes to show the difference as I have tried to read Tell Me It's Real like 5 times and DNF by 35% as I just hated it.
However, Wolfsong is definitely my cuppa. I absolutely loved it - even if the writing felt very staccato.
LOL!

Lol so true!
They're completely different, tell me its real is one of my favourite mm ever and one I read when I first started getting into the genre. So it's very nostalgic for me π
I've looked at wolfsong a few times but not my type of read, it interesting that able to do a variety goes to show he is a great writer.
I like TJ KluneSome of his humor is a bit off. But there are some laugh out loud moments in a couple of books I read.
Agreed!I love Tjs humor it can be OTT but also I feel rather true to life in ways and so much relatable stuff, I enjoy it xx
Here is your next task:55. Pick another team and each member reads one book that was read by a member for this challenge. No pass for this task.
As a team, you need to select another team and all read books that team has read. Include the team name/number in your completion posts. Please provide a link to the other team member's completion post in your qualification, at a minimum provide the message number.
Oh yay! I've been looking forward to this one, although I know I'm picky as heck so be interesting to see what find πBetween team 1, 9, 7 and 11
Im going to have a little look at them now to see what got, but if your already happy with a choice I'm go with whatever pick x
So having checked them, i'd prefer team 9 or 1 just for more choice and already found few on 9 on my tbr. Team 1 is really organised on front so easy to check too π
I like Team 9 just fineI found Long Shadows that one of them has read.
I actually downloaded this and opened it but didn't read it. So it's already on my Kindle.
(One of the side, err, issues with Scavenger Hunt for MM is that I often download and scan for points and then they show currently reading so after SH I have to clean that up. I'll end up with like 67 books I'm reading or something when really it was a points quest)
Ignore the
(view spoiler)
Don't we need to pick the same team?Looks like Laura & Jo want team 9.
Looks good to me.
Lets go with team 9 !!!!
...any objections
Oh that must be annoying to clear up, I don't look for pts prior to reading as I prefer the surprise and just hope for the best. Although it is my first SH and can definitely see the benefit to checking before you read πIf team 9 id probably go for one of these,
M280
M230
M250
Yeah we need same team, that's why I put list of the mm teams so we all can check and see what prefer πI just like team 9 or 1 best as plenty of choice, thought be easy to find something. Although I'd be happy to go with other if prefer, let's see what Elizabeth thinks xx
I'm fine with team 9, I'm sure I'll find something.
