im gonna try to tear myself away from podcasts and do a few audiobook rereads for this round, if im doing rereads i can listen at 2x speed so hopefully i can get through a few more books this round!

[Ora]

I believe I am over thinking this. We Need to Talk About Kevin is written in epistolary style. Can the characters who are writing the letters be used for the spell out or just the title and author?

[Judy]

I think they can be used, Ora :)

[Melindam]

That would be great, Devann. :)

That's what I thought too, just wanted to make sure since I am planning on starting tonight

Do you think this would work for a brown cover?

[Melindam]

I cannot tell on my phone. Let's wait for what Judy says. :)

[Judy]

I’d say yes, somewhere between brown and red but more brown overall

I also really liked it! It was really interesting and all the characters really snuck up on me so when something bad happened to them I was super sad.

THE ANNOTATED PERSUASION

on planning sheet

[Ora]

For celebration, does it matter what kind? I am hoping someone has read the BDB series and wanting to know if being initiated into the black dagger brotherhood would count? As far as celebrations go, it's a bit on the understated side if I remember correctly. Later today I will start listening to Lover at Last. Qhuinn is initiated into the BDB and can't remember if there is a celebration for his and Blay's mating. It's been several years since I have read the book. So much happens in every book and sometimes things start to blur when it happens.
I am hoping to move this book to another task so it will open up MPG Romance since that's an easy task for me to fill.

[Melindam]

Ora, an initiation to me sounds more like a ceremony/ritual than a celebration.

Ok. Hopefully there is a mating ceremony so I can move it. I hate that I can't remember, but it's been about 4 years since I read the book.
