Not MPG Romance. ☹️

I’m impatiently waiting for the theme call as I finished my last book 3 hours ago so have been going cross eyed scrolling through tags and shelves on my phone 😂

🌹Theme - Quarantine Dating🌹
Date 4 - H
H is for Habanero - Read a book tagged as 'hot' or 'steamy'.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be tagged as 'hot' or 'steamy', alone or combined. Variations of those words will be allowed in context, i.e. 'no steam' will not work. The qualification for this task comes from tags/shelves ONLY. The tag does not have to be MPG, but the book must be tagged at least once to qualify. Please include a link to the top shelves page of your book's qualifying tag (not to the people who have used that tag or to the shelf for the tag!), the number of tags and the top shelves page number in your completion post. This information helps if the link is broken or if the tag moves as they frequently do..
Remember books must be 90 pages (first edition English language Kindle) and MPG Romance!!
You have until Friday, January 15 @ Midnight US EDT to post your completion(s).
Please ensure that your completion post conforms to message #3 of your team thread. If you complete more than one book for the date task, be sure to include that information in your completion post. Remember no discussion in your completion posts!
