TART Challenge2 - We'd Rather be Reading (12)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Here is Task 14:

88. Read 6 books with a boat, plane, car or motorcycle on the cover, teams decide which.

As a team select which vehicle you are using and then read 6 books with that vehicle on the cover. You can use any edition's cover to qualify, but remember to use the first edition Kindle page count! Please include the qualifying cover in your completion post.

[Mary X]

I think car would be the easiest. But I think there’s a couple of motorcycle themed romance series out there.

[Nayara]

I've got no idea for this one... None of my books have any kind of vehicle on the cover so I'll let you decide and look for something after

Same. I have no upcoming books with either. So I'll have to go a-hunting.

[Michaele]

So motorcycle or car? Motorcycle would be pretty easy if you don't mind reading motorcycle club books.

[Nayara]

Yeah, I think motorcycle is going to be easier.

[Nayara]

I finished a book with a motorcycle 3 days ago lol
I hate when this happens

[Shan ~A~]

motorcycle it is then

[Shan ~A~]

waiting to see if everyone is on board with motorcycle before I post my selection.

[Nayara]

I already started mine

[Mary X]

Motorcycle is fine.
I'll read:



Trying to speed listen to a Harry Dresden book that's getting repossessed by the library tomorrow. You wouldn't think books that old would have such long wait lists. I must not be the only one deciding they need to reread the series because he finally released Peace Talks.

[Nayara]

Mary,
Is the Dresden files worth it? I tried to read the first one and I couldn't finish. I started Alex Verus series instead and absolutely love it. Now I'm thinking if I should give Harry another shot.

[Michaele]

I've started Motorcycle Man

[Mary X]

I love the Dresden files so I would say that yes it’s worth it

I'm not a fan of MC books and this one made nothing to change my opinion. A lot of sexism and even that it tries to tackle other issues as racism I think it fell short.

Review: All I read was sex and violence. With a hero, Brass, who only had sex on the brain, and a heroine, Missy, who had sex and survival on the brain. With a bratty little sister who I would have slapped if she was with me.

These two people supposedly fell in love, but I'm not sure when that happened. I have no problem with insta-love as long as it's believable. Not when one doesn't even like the other then all of a sudden they're in love.

I've read my share of MC books, but this club was disgusting. Maybe it will get better after the events of this book, but I'm not sure if I'll find out anytime soon, since I didn't really like a single person involved in this story.

Two issues with this one. The first is easy, you include a review but no rating. Please add your rating.

The second isn't so easy. This book does not qualify for this challenge - books are required to be fiction. ☹️

I'm going to go ahead and post the next task now though. If the book you select for the next task qualifies for both, I will allow it to work for both tasks. To work for both, it needs to have a motorcycle on the cover and fit whatever the next task requires. Otherwise, a book will need to be read by someone to fill this spot before the following task is assigned.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Here is Task 15:

32. Read 6 books with over 2500 ratings.

The number of ratings are on the main book page under the title. Please include the number of ratings in your completion posts.

**Since Nayara read two books for the last task, I will allow anyone to double up to fill the spot of the disqualified book as long as the book you read qualifies for both tasks. (Has a motorcycle on the cover and over 2500 ratings.) 😊

[Mary X]

On my phone so can’t link the book. But I could read the next Black Knights book Rev It Up by Julie Anne Walter. Motorcycle on cover and over 2500 ratings

[Nayara]

I'm sorry for all the confusion. I've been sick this weekend and it might have messed up my brain more than I've realized 😂

Thank you so much MKat for your understanding.

And thanks Mary for taking one for the team 😂

Review: What happens to civilization after the zombie apocalypse? That's basically what this book is about.

Most have compared it to a certain television show, and even though I don't watch it (I have seen a few episodes), I have to agree. It's a more erotic version though.

Ali, Daniel and Finn find themselves fighting to protect one another months after the zombie virus has taken over the world. They are working together to find some form of civilization, and along the way both men fall in love and in a relationship with Ali.

Ali and Daniel meet first, and quickly fall into bed and in love, then comes Finn. Finn has been watching them from afar, and saves them when they are attacked. He also wants Ali. They eventually agree to share.

The book didn't get really good to me until it got close to the end, after they found a town with more uninfected individuals. Everything that happened from that point was really good. By then their relationship had grown on me, and there was more action.

I was glad the author didn't make it seem like it was easy to have an unconventional relationship just because the times are different. They still struggled with jealous and other problems in their relationship, so that made it seem a bit more believable.

Review: The best meet cute!!!

Ember and Baker together was everything. I loved every second of this book. It was funny and sexy. The banter was the best I've read in a while. And little Lincoln was a complete scene stealer. Ron Jeremy, Piss Boner, need I say more???

It reminded me why I love Tara Sivec's writing so much.

Seeing Ember put her slimy, ass of an ex in his place made my day. They say karma is a bitch. He got exactly what he deserved, hell I wish it would have been worse.

Here is Task 16:

90. Each member reads a book published in sequential months, i.e. June, July, August and September 2019. Teams decide which months. No pass for this task.

It doesn't matter the year you select, 2019 was just an example, and months can cross over years if you start at the end of one year and finish in the beginning of the next. For this task use the initial publication date, if there is one listed on the editions page use it, otherwise I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition.

[Nayara]

I need to read Spooky Business for the Pass the Parcel Challenge and it was published on September, 2020, so I could use this month.

But as I said before, I can read books from April/2019 until October/2020.

[Michaele]

I can take June 2020, but I am flexible, I could also take July or August if that works better.

[Mary X]

I have ones for July 2020 and June 2020 and April 2020 currently check out from the library.
