Happy New Year! Spreadsheet updated through here!

I'm traveling back to NYC tomorrow so I'll check the thread very early in the morning to post our last reads in the spreadsheet. After that, unlikely I'll check back again until the evening!

[D.G.]

Date 3 - C - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 3.

C is for Calendar - Read a time-travel romance. To qualify for this task, the title, series title, précis, book details, list or tag would need to indicate that the selected book is a time-travel romance.

C is for Canada - Read a book set in Canada or written by a Canadian author. To qualify, the author of the selected book needs to be from or currently live in Canada. Or, the title, series title, precis, book details, tags or list need to indicate the book is set in Canada. The setting can be the country, a province or territory or city. Some cities, Vancouver for example, would need something to indicate that it is in Canada and not the US.

C is for Ciao - Read a book that is the last or most recent in a series. To qualify for this task, the selected books need the last or most recent book in a series. Please include a link to the series page in your completion post. There can be future books listed on the series page, but the one you read for this task needs to be the one most recently published.

C is for Cinderella - Read a rags to riches romance or a fairytale re-telling. To qualify, the title, precis, tags or list would need to indicate that the selected book is a fairytale retelling or has a rags-to riches storyline. For fairytales, it could be a specific one like 'Cinderella' or 'Beauty and the Beast' or the generic 'fairytale'.

[D.G.]

See above the breakdown of the tasks. I can say that all these are hard in that I probably have 2-4 options for each TOPS but not necessarily ones that I'd love to start reading right away...

I like that for Cinderella at least, any fairytale would do. I love Beauty & the Beast...

[Michaele]

I can't think of anything for time travel.

[D.G.]

As I thought, the date is Canada. I don't have any books on my TBR currently set there (I had a few and read them recently...sigh.) I'll start looking now and I see what I find but I don't think this will be a date with lots of books from me...

[Annette]

I searched for a while last night and barely found 1 book I’m interested in by a Canadian author. This will be a rough week for me too

[D.G.]

The WAGs series is set in Canada: . Also, the second book in the Him series (this is MM though and you'll need to read the first.)

[Michaele]

I am relieved it isn't the time-travel challenge!

[Michaele]

If you like mm - Samantha Wayland's Moncton Ice Cats series is set in Canada.

[Michaele]

Oh, and Heidi Belleau is from Canada - again if you like mm.

[Annette]

Thank you for the recs! I don’t really read MM but I’ll keep googling to hopefully find a couple more books I might like.

[D.G.]

Annette wrote: "Thank you for the recs! I don’t really read MM but I’ll keep googling to hopefully find a couple more books I might like."

The WAGs series is MF but it's a spinoff of the Him series which is MM. So it all depends on whether you read books on whether you can read spinoffs on their own (some people can't!)

[Annette]

Thanks I’ll look into it!

If you like M/M then Jenn Burke has a great series set in Toronto.

And Kelley Armstrong is an amazing writer -- I read a lot of her stuff before I switched to M/M books

[D.G.]

Part of my issue is that the books must be available in the library and they should be preferably audiobooks...that's why I'm having so many issues!

I found this series 'Six Pack Ranch' by Vivian Arend, set in Alberta, Canada. I'm starting with the second book and see how it goes (not starting with the first book in the series because I'm not fond of the "hooking up with my sibling's ex" trope.)

Then I have a second option by Opal Carew and a third, is an ebook I've had in my TBR for ages. These days, I'm only going for ebooks if the book is one I added a while back. :)

Oh great! I have on my TBR!! Adding it to the list of books to read this week.

It's unlikely that I'll get to read more than 4 or 5 given the issues with travel I'm having...

[Annette]

Laura..devouring books like crumpets wrote: "I love Helena Hunting books shes canadian, im reading by her im hoping to finish it by tommorow"

Oh I didn’t know she was Canadian! She has a couple of books I may be interested in, thanks!

[D.G.]

I also realized that Him has Toronto as main page setting (now that I remember, the last part is set in Canada.) It's one of my favorite books so I may re-read it.
