You are on a roll!
I'm 70% in my first book. But no stress, I don't think all of us has chosen yet.

[Wende]

I want to get the other one done as it is my bingo book.

[Emilienne]

I'll start my bingo book on Thursday after the end of SH

[Trip]

Awesome Wende!

Im around 60% on my book and am loving it, i forgot how much i love this series Anna and Charles are one of my fave couples . Love the writing so much, i even adore the mystery in these... Pure shocking i know 😂

I've started but I don't know how to find one I'd like to read...

If theres certain book you can search see if listed or authors etc, its pretty much just a matter of looking through similar to lists until find one you want.

Sadly unable to organise or look at multiples, compare to ownshelves which i always feel would be useful tool in groups as use often for challenges myself 😂

You can read the same as Gustaf or Wende if like, this task doesn't say anything about books needing be different so should be good xx

This links to the mm on shelves if helps with searching

Let's have a look 😁😎 if I do not find anything, I'll read the same as Gustaf

[Trip]

No problem, good luck and hope you find something fun to read 💕

So let me read The Blueprint I loved it so much the first time

Completion post task 6
Book: Starting from Zero
Author: Lane Hayes
Pages: 215/gr
How it fits: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show_...
Date completed: 2020/09/26
Rating and review: 2 stars (2.5 really)

2.5 stars.
I think. It's hard to rate this one because at points it was a 3 star read. At points it was a 1 star read.

The writing is beautiful. I mean it's no surprise, Lane Hayes has a way with words. I did end up highlighting a lot of beautiful sentences. I really liked Justin and Gray as a couple. I was rooting for them to be happy together.

However, this book stressed me out. I was constantly waiting for something bad to happen. And it did. Again and again. Justin ran. God he ran a lot without listening to what people had to tell him. And god, he was stubborn too. What I'm trying to say is that there was a lot of drama that didn't add more to the story than just that, drama.

The ending was beautiful though and that alone was worth the half star.

Book: Passions of a Papillon
Author: Tara Lain
Pages: 210/Gr
How it fits: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show_...
Date completed: 2020/09/27
Rating/Review: 5 stars

I'm so glad that I won a copy of this book in the MM Romance readers group because I probably wouldn't have picked it up myself.
With that said, I loved it. This is the perfect cozy mystery set in a world with over the top dogs. What's not to like? Ok, I admit it, I might be a little bit biased. I'm a sucker for book that describes dogs well and this did that and there was dog shows involved. It's like it's made for a five star rating from me. (Even though I would hate to show Papillons, gosh that grooming. Nah, I'll stick to Whippets, much easier.)

Yes I spent my whole review talking about dogs instead of the actual book... Anyway Finn and Em were great Mc's but Batshit was the star of this book. I can't wait to read the next one.

Yes! It's such a good book!

Im glad enjoying the picks, mine turned out wonderful 💕

Sorry to heart starting from zero wasn't very good...

Glad you found one you love Emilienne 😊

[Wende]

I love that series Laura. I hate to say it but Fair Game is my least favorite of the series.

Oh awesome! Lol its been over 8 years since i read the last one, but i remember loving book two a lot so feel thats still probably my fave. But its been so long and was fun to jump back in with Anna & Charles just adore them. The plot was very fascinating in this one, very dark and gritty it just really grabbed me.

Also i adore the usa covers of this series, they fit what i think for Anna & Charles looks so well. Love those 💕

I look forward to the rest of the series. Was bit worried Mercy would be more crossover for a moment as i dnf that series in the first book. Love triangles are not my thing 😂

[Wende]

Laura posted my book as finished in my post done with the task

[Trip]

Sweet, thank you! 😊

[Wende]

Oh that is done with. She is married and everything

[Trip]

Wende wrote: "Oh that is done with. She is married and everything"

Oh i know she is know. As her and Adam are mentioned in fair game, but the love triangle was heavy in the first book and bored me as far as i remember so i never finished it.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love this series so much! I'm not into sport books that much, I find them often superficial and caracters are too young.
But then, there's SE Harmon, and Kelly is awesome, and this book is sexy and full of humor, and now I'd like to re read book 2.

Wende wrote: "... "

Oh she seems fun character, just love triangles bore me. I did have another look at recent and looks like takes 3 books? So yeah not for me, but i can see why people love them as i adore the author.

Sweet! Amazing reading everyone, we are doing great 💕

[Emilienne]

Laura wrote: "Sweet! Amazing reading everyone, we are doing great 💕"

Are we good with Gustaf and Wende reading 2 books, or do you need me to read one more?

[Trip]

Emilienne wrote: "Laura wrote: "Sweet! Amazing reading everyone, we are doing great 💕"

We are done we needed 6 books overall, so with me and you doing one each. Wende and Gustaf doing 2 each we got it 😊

It doesnt matter if couple people read two or 1 person reads 3 etc.. Its just however we work it out as long as enough for task all good xx

[Emilienne]

Yay, it's pretty cool!

Thanks Wende, thanks Gustaf :)

[Gustaf]

Updated my first completion post with my second book! So we are done and ready for our next task :)

[Trip]

Here is Task 7:

34. Read 6 books first published between 2000 and 2010.

For this task, use the initial publication date. If there is a date listed at the top of the editions page, use that otherwise use the earliest English language edition date. If the book is released with different titles, treat them as the same book.

[Gustaf]

Oh, I’m not a fan of this task 🙄

[Trip]

Might be slower next couple days, as need to finish my last two sh books 😂

[Trip]

Tracking post
Task 7 - 34. Read 6 books first published between 2000 and 2010.

Laura:
✔️Book 1 // Atlantis Unleashed [M419]
Wende:

✔️Book 2 // Blood Bound [M422]
Gustaf:
✔️Book 1 // Special Delivery [M410]
✔️Book 2 // Zero at the Bone [M410]
Emilienne:
✔️Book 1 // Moon Called [M440]

[Trip]

Yeah this is when those old series i need to finish come in handy for me.

[Gustaf]

I'm going for a reread of Special Delivery and I can also read Stirring Up Trouble

[Trip]

Gustaf wrote: "I'm going for a reread of Special Delivery and I can also read Stirring Up Trouble"

Stirring up trouble is sadly too short for challenge, but special delivery sounds good hope enjoy reread 😊

[Gustaf]

Wait. I was sure I read it as 157 pages lol 😂

[Gustaf]

Ah the ebook is 176 pages but kindle 137 pages.

[Trip]

Gustaf wrote: "Ah the ebook is 176 pages but kindle 137 pages."

Yeah lol tbh i only realised/checked, because i remembered wanting to read it myself during last amazing race challenge but didnt fit. It was sh book for me in may 😂

[Gustaf]

I just checked it on my ebook reader since I own the ebook 😂

[Gustaf]

To be honest it's hella confusing with the kindle page count. Since amazon ain't big at all here in Sweden, neither are kindles. I've had mine since December and am still confusing kindle and e-books lol. They are the same thing for me lol.

[Gustaf]

Anyway I'll go for Zero at the Bone instead of Stirring Up Trouble :)
