Good morning!

Today I'll be leaving for my in laws in Atlanta and then flying home tomorrow evening - hopefully I'll make it this time! It's likely that I won't check in until Thursday morning. In the meantime, I'll create the SH thread for the next date, which seems totally doable.

So i think i Have 2 SH books for next round..... I was up till 1 am last night trying to look.... Just as i had no toddler meltdowns or interruptions, unfortunately my KU finished today, so i have turned off my kindle wi-fi so i have the two i found ready to start when we finish this round..... Im hoping to stumble across one as a happy coincidence too....

Hope you are all ok, feel like a whale atm after all the christmas food, Kids here in Greece go back to school on monday... we have been in lockdown since the end of October with home schooling, so will be nice to get back to my audiobook - beach walk - driftwood collecting again..... My birthday is on sunday, my kids was yesterday so im giving myslef till then to indulge in the christmas leftovers, and wine... Then we are going veggie with eggs and milk included for a while will do pulps & fish cant look at another stuffed turkey!!!

My kids are 3 and 5, i managed to buy a cheap wii for them for christmas, and my nephew whos now 14 sent me all his old games Kids are soo happy... i also managed to get wii fit too so hopefully that may crack into my food belly and bum.

Sorry this week has been such a fail for me. I really struggled to find books by Canadian authors that sounded interesting to me. Next week will be better for sure! I also am starting to get more into wedding planning mode (wedding 4 months from today), so that may possibly slow down reading a bit, but I will try my best to keep the momentum going!

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

woop how exciting!!!!

[Diane]

I found the entire situation in Washington was very distracting. Got very little reading done on Wednesday.

Annette, it's amazing you get any reading done at all! I remember how distracting wedding planning is.

And toddlers too, Laura. Good luck with the weight loss!

[D.G.]

Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA! So many things happened in the last few days and I've barely been reading!! I was traveling home on Wednesday (from Georgia no less) so I was in shock of what transpired at the Capitol.

Then came home and a few of the plants were dead and had some other issues at home, including some dudes seeing me in my underwear. Sigh...

Anyhow let me see what I missed and I'll update the spreadsheet!!

[D.G.]

Date 4 - H - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 4.

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. 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.

H is for Hate - Read an enemies-to-lovers romance.

To qualify, the title, series title, precis, tags or lists need to indicate that the selected book is an enemies to lovers romance.

H is for Hefty - Read a book over 300 pages, first edition Kindle page count.

To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be 300 pages or over, first edition Kindle page count.

H is for Homonym - Read a book with a homonym in the title.

To qualify for this task, the title needs to contain a homonym. This is the definition of homonym that will be used for this task:

In linguistics, homonyms, broadly defined, are words which are homographs (words that share the same spelling, regardless of pronunciation) or homophones (words that share the same pronunciation, regardless of spelling), or both. For example, according to this definition, the words row (propel with oars), row (argument) and row (a linear arrangement) are homonyms, as are the words see (vision) and sea (body of water).

Words that basically mean the same thing, but can be a noun and verb will not count. For example, captain (noun - the person in command of a ship/plane) and captain (verb - to be the captain of a ship/plane) will not be allowed. To count, the definitions need to be distinct. You will need to identify the homonym in the title of your selected book and include the different definitions of the homonym. Please don't just assume I will be able to figure it out!

I have been thinking that the Homonym choice meant that BOTH spellings of the word would have to be in the title. I have a feeling you only need one, and that you then have to say what the Homonym would be. Basically, any title with "To" in it would work as it is a homonym with too and two. Is that correct, or do you have to have both words show up in the title?

[D.G.]

Only one word but it has to have a homonym.

And yes, to, too and two would all work. :)

I'm glad you liked it! I also read it for this task...one of my favorite books!

I also re-read the novella but it's too short. :)

There's one team that has 76 roses already!!

We're number 5 out of 10, exactly middle of the pack, with 32 roses.

Wow, that's incredible. And I, for one, am quite content to be in the middle of the pack.
