Thats for sign ups closing, underneath says

[Wende]

I know Laura I just checked. Sorry 😂😂

[Trip]

Lol its easily done, i had to double check myself 😂

Im just too eager to start xx

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I had to double check too... 😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I really struggled with an acronym for this challenge, but it really needed one! I think it was Jane who suggested TART and it's the one that stuck. I tried ART or ARTC, but TART was more fun. 😊🤷🏻‍♀️

[Wende]

I like it Kat. It is fun and.catchy

[Trip]

Its funny to me, but great acronym 😂

Of course! I rely on Ku and library overdrive a lot. No problem, i will double check them. Im pretty certain all the authors mentioned are ku, but i will give the series a look xx

[Wende]

Thank you Laura

[Trip]

Its all good, they're all acessible on ku so i will sort out randomiser later or tomorrow. In case anyone wants to add last minute ideas for authors or series interested in 😊

[Gustaf]

So do we have a month? :)

[Trip]

Id say January, March or September but am happy to go with any.

2019 was a strange year for me, figuring out what i wanted to do with my life. While 2020 has been crazy with covid, i have felt more settled in who i am and progress this year for myself 😂

I'm thinking through what's been good.
June was the best month of 2019 since that's when I got married. But I'm sure I can find a good read for any month.

Oh sweet! Thats a lovely memory 💕

I went January as always love the start of the year. Then March was just before my last seasonal work so was really excited for that. Then September when i finally decided i wanted to focus on working in a school and toward being a teaching assistant, SEN.

Also peeked at my shelfs to see which had most options for so 😂

[Trip]

Well im heading to sleep, i had a look through bunch 2019 lists and am happy with any month. So if all here before i am, feel free to pick and i will go with it 😊

[Wende]

Okay so January?

[Gustaf]

Works for me.

[Wende]

Okay so will look for that and start reading right?

[Wende]

How about March. I have a scavenger hunt book that was published in March 2019? If that is okay if not I am fine either way

[Gustaf]

March works too.

[Wende]

Okay so we have to wait on Emilienne to see if March works

[Emilienne]

Hello teammates!
I'm good with March 😊

[Wende]

Okay thanks Emilienne. I will finish Tallowood and read this book today. When do we have to be done?

[Emilienne]

I think the rule is as soon as you can 😂
I need to check my sh books to find if I have one published in March
If not it's going to be fun to look at my tbr shelf.

[Wende]

Okay I will rush it as soon as I am done with Tallowwood

[Wende]

Kai is such a delicious character. Love him. I skipped book two and I need to read it pronto. I loved it but it needed to have a bit taken out. It had kick-ass then boring bits. (Telling us what we just read happening! Why? We just read it) it was irritating to me. I will read the next book!

[Wende]

I finished first task!

This book was something else.

For some reason I read the second book in this series before I read the first one. While it worked out for me (I'm not really bothered by spoilers), some people might want to read this series in order.

Free hand was sweet, tender and absolutely gut wrenching. I am happy that I read the second book first so I had some warnings about Derek's past. I'm not sure if I would've been able to take it if not. I'm such a softie and I'm always having a hard time dealing with these kind of stories.
Basil was amazing. And so fierce. The way he took care of Derek when he really needed it was beautiful.

On to book three!

[Emilienne]

OK, I finished my BR and I'm beginning the book for task 1!

[Emilienne]

Wende, what do you think of Rag and Bone?
It's either that or The Ballerino and the Biker

Laura, Gustaf, if you have any opinion on those two...

[Gustaf]

I have never heard of them 😅

Just letting know thats 2018 not 2019, so doesn't fit task. The book sounds good though, i adore bikers and dance is fun aspect too. Nice contrast xx

Needs to be March 2019 😊
