@ Trio, I also should have probably picked those LOL, hoping they fit for the next one or PTP or something. I've really enjoyed the series, but keep putting of these last 2 for some reason
well you still have time, I think they're due November 12 or something like thatI'm glad I have the weekend though because I haven't started my PtP book and only just started the bingo book from last week this morning!
Ive gone and joined a new group and put my name down for a new team challenge from sunday to end of Dec .....i hope i can fit all my books in 😄😄

oooh, what's the group/challenge? Lol. I have a feeling Bingo wont go for too much longer and PTP is almost done as well so I will be lost soon.
Its the Game Night Grouphttps://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
Im not sure what you can see if you not a member but its the Never Have I challenge
I'm thinking about reading something from Pandora Pine cause this is a new to me author which is the Bingo category. Where should I start with her books/series?

Looks like fun, Janine! I've never played Never Have I Ever.......
I think it's very American. In America, a lot of times when you're young you use games to get you drunk quicker lol. It looks like a perfect game to fill what I need so thank you for posting about it!Caipi, I have not enjoyed the Pine novels I've read so if you need someone to suggest where not to start I might be able to help lol
Caipi..you need to read Dead Speak & Dead ReckoningThese are the first 2 in the cold case pyschic..she done lots of spin offs and there is an order of sorts ..but for you , not for another 6 bks or so ..
I do like then but they being churned out so fast i couldnt keep up so im way behind

It keeps looking like something I would LOVE, but the writing style of the other two I tried did not mesh well with me so I've successfully put them off for now. I think I'll probably end up picking them up at some point, but if I don't like them I just might not rate them as that wouldn't really be fair when I already know I'm not a huge fan of the author's writing.

😄😄😄😄..ive got many of my GR friends confused over the years ...they have to run off to google
unfortunately I didn't enjoy the Pandora Pine novel I read either.
and yep, never have I ever is definitely a drinking game and seriously fun after a few cocktails and people start offering up naught secrets!
Ive come across it lots in books and films ....but the nearest we come to it is Spin the Bottle 😆😆😆
Thanks everyone!After your comments I'm not sure anymore if I should really read Pandora Pine for this task....... don't want to have to read two books when I maybe don't like them....... 🙈😂
Janine, do you know if for this Never Have I Ever challenge reviews are required? If not I might try to sign up, too.

TASK 24 COMPLETION POST bk 1It's Murder on the Catwalk by Alina Popescu
190 pgs kindle.edition
Bk 2 in series
OWL Investigations Mysteries
Finished 31st october
4 stars
Im getting a bit more into this series , David &Emmett still havent had time to talk about 'The Kiss', as Emmett does a favour for a previous modelling agent .
Apparently in his younger days Emmet was a top model which is strange as there.was.no mention of it at all in book 1 , not even when they were dicussing the years they'd been apart.
Anyway, Emmett solves the murder and as they get closer to discussing 'The Kiss' ....the book ends with another murder ..so on to bk 3

I’m in, I think I’m doing less individual challenges next year because I much prefer the team ones so I’m in for all the team ones lol. I went through some of the Q&A thread though and it looks like each teammate needs to read 2 books a month

I dont think there is a theme either ..just find books that make up silly/ strange / rude phrases..so sounds really easy

Completion Post Task 24 (2 Books in a Series)-Book 1
The Twelfth Knight by Victoria Sue
232 Pages
How it qualifies: Guardians of Camelot Book 1
Completed: 10/31/2020
Rating: 5 Stars
Review: I absolutely adore this series. Arthurian legends have always fascinated me (I might have been the only eight year old to go as Guinevere for Halloween 😂), so I was hooked from the beginning. But rather than a standard retelling, Sue is able to create this completely new and incredibly interesting world that kept me so immersed it was nearly impossible to put down.

Review: I love this world that Victoria Sue is building, with plenty of nods to Arthurian legends, but also plenty of completely unique and wonderful twists. There was a point when I wanted to throw my kindle, but even then I could not put it down. Tom and Lucan were amazing, and while most of their falling for each other was done off page, if you’ve read the first book (which is necessary), you don’t feel like you’re missing out. This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Completion Post - Task 24#65. Each player reads 2 books in a series, teammates can read the same or different series.
Book 1
Drinker of Blood by Jordan L. HawkPages:150
How it qualifies: book #3 of the Spectr Series 2
Read: 1st November
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review:
This was a quick re-read for me to get back into the story... *mumbles* and because book 5 of this series isn't long enough to count for this challenge. ;)
It definitely reminded me of why I really hate Barillo, their District Chief!
Looking forward now to book 4. :)
Book 2
Breaker of Chains by Jordan L. HawkPages:163
How it qualifies: book #4 of the Spectr Series 2
Read: 1st November
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
Review:
No no no no no!!! What a rollercoaster and then that cliffhanger ending! No time to write more here, I need to read book 5 right now! There has to be a good ending!!
okay guys, I know I'm last again to finish mine - starting the 2nd one now and I'll post for our team in the Completion Thread when I'm done.
No problem Trio 😘😘......im sure we've all got loads of books to be getting on with 😄

Clutch by E. Davies
Length: 244 pages
Read: 11/1/2020
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
Tyler and Alec are the perfect opposites attract couple. From the moment they meet they can't deny the spark and, try as they might, they keep finding themselves working their way back together. There's plenty of humor in Clutch, and E. Davies keeps outdoing themselves in the creative coupling department (LOL).
Clutch is the fifth book in E. Davies Significant Brothers series. One by one we've seen these guys find love, and we're down to just one more brother! All six books are beautifully performed by Greg Boudreaux.
Completion Post, Book 2

Length: 205 pages
Read: 11/2/2020
Rating: 4 Stars
Review:
