Great Madelyn. Hopefully we will get done at least 2 more tasks before the race finishes.😊

Here is Task 10:

29. Read over 750 600 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

Professions such as law enforcement officer, athlete or musician are acceptable. Just don't try to pass off a rancher and a chef as both being in the food industry - they are too far apart. Remember to let me know how you know the book qualifies - from the title, series, precis, tags or lists. Simply saying 'hero is an athlete' is not enough - I need to know where to look to confirm your books. Don't forget to use the first edition Kindle page count.

Thank you Mountainkat

What are your preferences?
Law enforcement / Cowboys/ Teacher/Doctors are the easy ones, i think. Not a fan of Rockers/Musicians.

[Teresa]

I vote Law Enforcement. I have several in my queue

[Teresa]

Thanks Madelyn for posting :D

This world makes me smile and laugh and cry. I loved seeing them get to know each other and see Tahl get used to his new world. I love this series!

Task 10 Completion: Read over 600 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession (Law enforcement)

Crocus by Amy Lane
258 pages / kindle
How it fits- "High School Principal “Larx” Larkin was pretty sure he'd hit the jackpot when Deputy Sherriff Aaron George moved in with him" Mentioned in precis.
Read date - 5.11.2020
Review - 4 stars

A sweet sequel to Bonfires, where we are again plunged into the chaotic, ultra populated lives of Larx and Aaron. Thet are rescueing kids left and right and adding to their generous family. The romance is so fluffy, be ready for sugar coma. And we have a HEA in the end.

Thanks Madelyn! I hope we get an easy one, lol. I’m half way through a book right now.

I would love if my current book club book would fit the next one. It hasn't happened yet, and I'm almost done with it.
