Gary furlong is one of my favorites too! There’s nobody that’s as good at accents
Trio wrote: "Have you listened to Apple Boy Amanda?"Yes! I loved it so much! I really want a follow-up, but I think I heard Isobel Starling is on a writing hiatus
yes, you're right about that - but she's busy with Decent Fellows Press. I got Love is a Stranger. Sure hope it fits into a challenge soon. (Read that one in my before GR days, now read by Gary Furlong, I can't wait!)
Finished my book..took a bit longer than expected but i got caught up with the hunt teams

(Read that one in my before GR days, now ..."I think I might wait until this one is all on audio. Otherwise I'll start it, finish it on print, then reread the whole series when all the audio is out and that's a long time lol
Im yet to read a John Wiltshire book ..once again they seem a bit on the long side

Updated my post to completion. Trio, I think your completion is the last for this task.
okay I'll be finished shortly and post the updates when I get home.
okay I posted our completion link in the Q&A thread :) (even double checked it lol).
Here is your next task!Task 5 - 11. Read 4 books in continuing series, one that has not been completely published.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be in series that are not completely published yet or are ongoing. So the second book in a trilogy where the third is coming out later this year would work or a book in a series such as In Death that is ongoing would also work. Please include in your completion post a link to the series page to show that the series is not completed yet, i.e. expected future publication date on a later book or description as a trilogy with only two books listed.
Ugh I have an arc that would work but no page count in sight and the book was sent direct to kindle so I'm unable to use Calibre to get a page count. I'm going to peek at what you all choose to hopefully get some ideas.
Well i dont know what to chose it doesnt work with any of my books to read for rest of the month ..So can we read a first in series , where only the first been published ?

I think so. Somebody asked about Blind Tiger by Jordan Hawk in the Q&A and Kat said, "Yes, I will allow that as long as I can see it is a planned series and the first book is newly published. And I could when I looked at the author's website/blog for this one."
Maybe look at the author's website as well and see if it says something like "This is the first book in a new series..."
It does say at the end that of Blind Tiger about futher adventurs.with the two MCs (i forgot their names already 😄😄😄)
Team 9 is a MM team that has already had this task so I'm gonna peek over there lol
Didn't find anything there...asked my SH team for recommendations
I just washed my pup so we're settling down (as soon as she's done shaking herself that is). Gonna take a look.

I might look at maz maddox or AJ Sherwood has a new jon book out
haha, YES - I have to let them run around and rub on the carpets before they'll settle down for a long nap!
I checked Gregory Ashe, Alice Winters, Cordelia Kingsbridge, and KA Merikan so far with no luck. Darn that Gregory Ashe, he cranks out books like crazy too.
I looked at team 9 and it looks like we can read bk1 even if bk is out but bk 3 is not ...i thought we had to read the book before the o e that hasnt come.out Not sure if that makes sense
I'm going through ARCs to see what's coming out - so you can pick a book in the series as long as the next one hasn't been published yet.If you like Catherine Kurzon and Eleanor Harkstead I do recommend their Captains series. I've got an ARC for the next one due out in April but no time to read it yet. I've 4 starred all the ones I've read.

The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite
336 pages
How it Qualifies: Book 3 to be published June 5, 2021
Link to Series Page
Read: 3/24/2021
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: This is my first Olivia Waite novel and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. It's a combo of great story with a fun romance, and beautifully done historical. The whole way through I kept thinking of Cat Sebastian... but they're fantastic women instead. Winner :)
Janeylou - honestly they're all adorablethe one about the prime minister is sweet w/a little angst
the one with the baker is hilarious - and I remember laughing out loud over the squire one.
guys - it doesn't have to be the second book, right?the first book in the series is okay?
thanks for asking the question Jit's a little confusing when it says you can read the 2nd book in a trilogy...
Trio wrote: "guys - it doesn't have to be the second book, right?the first book in the series is okay?"
It looks like it can be any number in a series so long as the series isn't completed
if anyone is good with kink and BDSMhttps://www.goodreads.com/series/3025...
I'm reading the 2nd book now, comes out in April, but the first one is available now.
Im going to look through the lists for april / may to see what coming out then take it from there

Sweet as Honey by Lucy Lennox
319 Pages
How it qualifies: and Book 3 is scheduled for later this year
Completed: 3/24/2021
Rating: 5 Stars
Review: I think I have read like 90% of Lennox’s published books and this was BY FAR my favorite. I remember when Lucy posted a sneak preview I felt this absolute need to get my hands on a copy (I already have preordered this book in kindle, will buy the audio and paperback as soon as available, it’s just that good). Truman and Sam are going to go down in the books as one of the best couples ever. They’re just so sweet with each other and on their own. There is absolutely nothing that you can find not to love about them. If you’re into super awkward botanists and seemingly gruff but actually sweet as pie motorcycle enthusiasts, this is one hundred percent the book for you. Plus we finally got a comeuppance for Truman and Truman was able to stand up for himself and see just how worthy he is of love. Look, I understand this review is rambling, but I’m still smiling over this story and kinda want to reread it immediately, so I’ll leave it with: just drop everything you’re doing and read this when it comes out on April 6th. It’ll be worth it
I actually ended up changing my book as the arc I started last night finally had a page count added and fit the task (Must've been kismet!) still putting the Lanyon book as my next read since I borrowed it though; really hoping there's some relationship movement in this one.Also my selection post is now a completion :)
Trio wrote: "Amanda that was the Masquerade mystery you're looking for relationship movement in? [spoilers removed]"Not exactly what I was looking for (I mean it’s the information I wanted but hoped for a different answer) 😂 but it helps a lot to know that going into it so I won’t be disappointed

I felt a lot of this! I want to continue because I really like the magical world and I adore Cosmo (or at least I wrote that I did, I read it so long ago I kinda forgot lol), but John is the worst.
