Jeydon Marshall | 372 comments Had a long day today so I’ll make my final decision for selection tomorrow morning and start my book.

I’ll also update the team tracker in the morning. Way to go completing 2/6 books so fast!

I seriously didn’t realize how many Non-States books I read until I checked my upcoming reads list and they were all UK, Canada, Fantasy & Non-Specified locations. I’m gonna swap one of the books I had planned for this week out for a US set book though so I can start it first 😊

Michaele | 6549 comments I've started my second book. I decided to read a favorite, One Giant Leap. I think I'm in a bit of a reading rut - either that or all the books I've been reading lately are boring.

I really like it, it's like the ultimate long-distance romance. I will say, I don't like all of the stuff with the media at the beginning and the moving back and forth in time. I don't like when fictional books include fictionalized real people - ok that doesn't make sense. What I mean is in the book there are interactions with "Bill McCan the Science Man" an obvious stand-in for Bill Nye the Science Guy. I don't know, it just annoys me.

Task #6: Read 6 books set in the US

Camp Hell (PsyCop, #5) by Jordan Castillo Price
Book: Camp Hell
Pages: 256
Qualification: Set in Chicago, Illinois
Date Read: 3/29/21
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: We finally get more of Victor's backstory in this book and boy is he even more ofa mess than I originally thought. I always enjoy listening to a PsyCop book but they never wow me as much as some of my favorite series do. This series is certaintly a unique paranormal, however.

Hi Roger! Read this book a week ago and loved it! A story of ghosts and psychic with a historical touch. Enjoy! 🙂

Task 7 - 51. Each teammate reads a different book by the same author.
Author chosen - Lily Morton

Book: The Quiet House
Pages : 271
how it fits: written by Lily Morton
Date Read: 3/31/21
Rating: 4 stars
Review: We see Levi and Blue in another adventure; this time in a haunted castle! The drama and ghosts are all OTT, with Blue being cocky and running around recklessly. But we have few new interesting characters here and proper villanous ghosts! The finale is predictable ; but altogether its an engaging read.
