I picked us each a question and put a vote for it based on everyone’s preferences or votes, if any of the ones I picked don’t work let me know..... here’s What I worked out.. all the ones with 🧡 are ones we needed as a team.

For the first 50 -https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

And the rest lol.... https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Edit...... I picked Contemporary as the Sub-genre for the ones that needed one since I think that'll be easier to accommodate us all since we don't all read the same things and contemps are easier to find lol

That is a phenomenal book, it's on the dark side but given that it;s about the apocalypse I guess that's obvious. Also if you wanted to continue on the third book releases on Oct 1st FYI. And it doesn't matter for this one if we all read the same one.

If you guys are good we can go with her :)

Right!!! I feel like I've been waiting a million years for the third book. The first two blew my mind, I really love how the author holds nothing back. I'm planning a re-read starting with Pestilence at the end of the month. Think I'm going to try for this task. Have you read this one?

I’m glad, it blew my mind when I read it. It’s definitely not for everyone given how dark it can get. (view spoiler)[I mean right from the beginning you’re like “holy sh*t that did not just happen,” and it never lets up. (hide spoiler)] Hoping to start my reread of this one next week maybe, if I’m lucky I’ll be able to use it for a future task lol.

[Alissa]

I just finished...I agree with Leah so glad you suggested this author I really enjoyed it. If life hadn’t gotten in the way I would have finished sooner.

I loved it couldn't put it down. Knox a college football an a twin was a self proclaimed virgin. He knew the moment he set eyes on Elliot aka Ellie that she was the one. Through love and strength they overcome Ellie's overbearing parents the coaches band on Ellie around his team players. This was definitely a book I would highly recommend.

No worries Alissa, these two were speed demons this task 😉 I'm still working on my book as well, I had to finish up a few others first for other challenges before October starts.
