I’m good with any! July or August maybe? Let’s see what Roger thinks :)

Honestly, I think the only reason we didn’t select a month ahead of time for this one was because it’s not one we’d have strong preferences for. If you’re both good with choosing July and want to get started reading, I don’t think Roger will mind when it comes to this task. If it’s one that involves more of a preference then I would more so want to wait for everyone’s preference but I think we covered all those ones already when we discussed the tasks :D

I also really appreciate this link Laks because it will help me with the M/M Scavenger Hunt 😂 I try to make sure I include a couple per month for the ‘published in your birth month’ theme in that.
Great! I'll get started on a July book in the morning!
I have 2 lined up for July Published but, if I don’t end up needing to read both for this task, that’s fine too. I know you all read faster than me sometimes 😂Hummingbird and Kraken & Hemovore
Will start one of the two tomorrow :)

I am not having a good time with the Scavenger hunt options. Most of the books I have read have low points and right now I am scrambling to find a 'blue jeans ' book. The books I think are blue jeans do not get Lisa's approval. 😔
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...This is July 2019 list. We can have any year I think, only the month needs to be the fixed one.

I know he mentioned that he has good and bad days with his MS so while I hope things aren’t too bad for him right now, I have a feeling he’ll reappear soon.
If we don’t hear from him by the end of the day, I’ll shoot him a message. These notifications are a hot mess still. I’ll get them hours later.

Laks wrote: "Jeydon wrote: "Submitted ☺️"Great Jeydon. 🙂 did you like the Kraken story?"
I did! I’ll admit I was hesitant about the tentacles but this one fit for a few different challenges and had great reviews so I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did. I don’t have many hard no’s when it comes to what I’ll read but this is something I don’t read a ton of. I adored Declan and Gier together though! I’m always pleasantly surprised when I push my own boundaries. My main (and pretty much only) hard no has been MPreg buuuut that’s not to say I’d NEVER read it if the right book called to me.
Here is your next task!Task 15 - 50. Read 6 books set in the same location, teams decide the location.
As a team select a location and read 6 books set in the selected location. If you choose a big city it is easy enough, but you are free to use the state if within the US or the country if outside the US. Remember to let me know how you know your book qualifies, be it title, precis, book details, tags or lists - I need to know where to look to confirm your books.

Yes, I was also hesitant about those tentacles, but the whole story as such was quite good and interesting.

That's how I felt about Earth Fathers Are Weird - I also stay away from tentacles and mpreg - but the reviews made me want to read it - and it was a really fun read! Though I still avoid mpreg and tentacles!
I can read two for this challenge for sure!

Roger hasnt checked in yet. Is he reading anything for this task?
We don't need to do selection posts, so he may not check in until he's done. But if he'd like to pass this task I can read another.

That would be great Michaele 🙂. But first let Roger and Jey make their choices , otherwise you might have to change your book.
I am going to sleep now. Hopefully we will have a decision soon.
