Aaaah cool! :-)

It's high fantasy so there will be lots of travelling and questing but that first book really was awesome.

Hey travellers!

We've taken a short stop from riding our motorbikes to send you some recommendations from our team. Take a look to see what books we recommend to you guys!

If you do happen to read one of the books, we'd love you to drop by and share your thoughts with the team.

Recommendations from Motorcycle Diaries!

Happy travelling!

The task list also has several entries that say "Read a book recommended by someone in your team" ;-)

In fairness to myself 3 of those were shorter books.

I only realized it because I went a little OCD and sorted the task list by category. LOL!

sorry have I been kicked off already? My son was very sick and had to be airlifted to a hospital and my laptop broke during this time and it was a lot at once, so I wasn't able to check in

Unfortunately yes :-(

So sorry to hear about your son! I hope he's on the mend!
If you want, we can put you on the reserve list though so if a team needs a replacement player, you can fill in?

[Stacey]

Can we use places for the spell it out or just characters? The book I'm reading for the tag 'bacteria' only fits for S, even with an author, translator, and narrator. There aren't characters as it is science/nature based. At least it fits something.

[Eni]

The member's tab isn't working properly. It's not listing the books read on round 1. I think it should be =countif('Round 1'!$D$10:$D$128,B2), instead of what it has now. It should be linked to the shelf not the member name.

I was surprised I liked it as much as I did. There's a book 2 on the series, but i'll wait to see if we need another I.
Let's see if i can find an E to read, since we seem to be short on those.

[Eni]

got one. i'll be reading next Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep

[Megan]

Thanks for pointing that out Eni. I had just noticed it too, I hate spreadsheet formulas.

I hope you enjoy Touch of Frost I thought it was pretty good.

[Jammin Jenny]

Awesome. That's on my TBR for next week so I'll definitely use a task where a person on my team recommended it.

If you need a second one, use Shannara ;-) I'd totally recommend it!

[Jammin Jenny]

Can anyone on my team recommend any of these books:

[[deleted user]]

Some recommendations from me (sorry, I'm an angst junkie):

Beartown
The First Girl Child
History Is All You Left Me
November 9
Maybe in Another Life
From Lukov with Love
When Life Happened

So Much More
180 Seconds

Okay, thanks.

[Megan]

I haven't read any of those, anything in particular you're looking for? Genre preference? Things to avoid? I can perhaps recommend something.

Also what number of Hannah Swensen did you get to? I have Blackberry Pie Murder to read next :-)

I haven't read ANY of those! I'm sorry. :(

[Jammin Jenny]

I am up to #23 (not read yet)

I can definitely recommend Blackberry Pie Murder

My favorite genres are mystery, suspense, thriller, horror, paranormal...
Not really into westerns...

[Eldarwen]

Jammin Jenny wrote: "Can anyone on my team recommend any of these books:"

The Karen Rose is the only one of those that I've read and while I can't remember quite in detail what happened, I remember it being an enjoyable read. In general, her books are quite readable.

My fave of hers (and the first of hers I've read) was Die For Me.

Loved Beartown and November 9 too!

[Eldarwen]

If you've enjoyed November 9 (one I haven't read yet), try Confess and/or Ugly Love. I enjoyed both those. They were the first Hoover books I've read.

[Jammin Jenny]

I'll try Confess

Agreed! Too Late is a great one too, in my opinion. I've loved all her books, honestly. My least favorites would be Verity or Without Merit but I still really enjoyed them, so...

[Eldarwen]

I had my issues with the ending of It Ends with Us and haven't touched a Hoover book since. I do have Verity lying around somewhere though... maybe some day hehe.

[Jammin Jenny]

Yes I gave Too Late 4 stars, but had troubles reading Verity and actually DNFd it

Oh yes Cyndee! From Lukov with Love very good read. To be honest most of her books are good. My favourites are Luna and the Lie and Under Locke can certainly recommend those.

I quite liked Seven Years paranormal romance. Could recommend most of her books she does a whole universe over multiple series/books.
For another one of those Dead Spots she does something similar her Boundary series also very good. Think that is the first book of it all though. Hers is less romance.
Sleight of Hand very good series with a strong female M/C.

[Jammin Jenny]

Awesome - added Seven Years to my reading for July!

I have a question and I am not sure if it was asked before and sorry if it is a dumb question. What does MPG stand for? I just cannot figure it out.

I noticed that on our sheet there is no book for the letter Y. I have a book that I decided to start reading. Not sure if anyone else has already chosen a book for this letter.
Well it is late here and I want to read a little before I fall asleep.

[Eldarwen]

We do have letters for Y being read for but they're on the next word in the sheet to make filling in the first one easier ;-)

More Ys are always welcome though so read away! :-)

I am.
All three very different. YA book called Upsy Daisy (Just finished it), The cruel prince, a fantasy book and The lost man, a murder mystery...3 different genres :)

[Eldarwen]

How are you liking The Cruel Prince, Alla?

Good to know you're enjoying it so far :-)

I’m on track to have “This is Where it Ends” finished tonight. Also random question what are the “toughest letters” on our spreadsheet? I know some coincide with our word, but are the others extra letters we need to read? Or ones we could possibly get from future words?

[Megan]

Amanda wrote: "I’m on track to have “This is Where it Ends” finished tonight. Also random question what are the “toughest letters” on our spreadsheet? I know some coincide with our word, but are the others extra ..."

So the toughest words are I, Y, Q, O, Z, X and U. We have 3 of these for the current round. We'll see the other letters probably in other rounds, we won't need the other letters unless we have a word that uses those letters.

Does that make sense?
