oh YAY Amanda, I'm so glad :)
The story really does work well - Lanyon is building a good one, we just have to be patient lol.
I finished mine, and changed my post to completion... I see I'm last so I'll post in the Q&A thread :)
It was so easy bc I was able to just copy and past my last one - just updating task 4 to task 5 - Janeylou you really are a genius!
You are on my list to get your task tomorrow. 😊
Here is your next task!Task 6 - 36. Read 6 books with animals on the cover.
The books selected for this task need to have an animal on the cover. The cover needs to represent the actual animal, real or mythical - so a statue of a dragon would not work, but a dragon would. You can use any cover to qualify for this task. Shifters count, but the cover needs to have the animal on the cover, not the person. 😉

Completed: 3/25/2021

Review: Sweet, but overall nothing extremely special. I didn’t really warm up to one of the MCs and the other was kind of a pushover. I have my interests peaked in some of the other characters though so I’ll give some other stories a try
Book 2
The Red Omega by Preston Walker

Review: Much like the first book, it’s a good quick read. Ultimately probably forgettable, but still something I enjoyed.

A light, entertaining read. I'm definitely going to continue this series, at the latest when I need another dragon book for a challenge. :)

I had fun picking my books! But I team share with Trio, so I only need 5 books. 😅
I'm sure you'll get your team to become more talkative! Otherwise just visit our team.
This year SH is HARD when you're going for win lol. I'm struggling.
I keep looking at books and dismissing them cos they dont seem to have many point, then i remeber im playing for fun, but thats hard too as im not used to playing for fun ....I need a new challenge to take my mind off it 🤔🤔😄😄
Caipi and I will help you guys out when we find books with good points :)I finished my book, I guess I just post it as a completion?

Nothing but Trouble by Noah Harris
228 pages
How it Qualifies:
Read: 3/25/2021
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: Nothing But Trouble is the second book in Noah Harris’ Wild Hearts series. I listened to this one as an audiobook, performed by Benjamin James. I also haven’t read the first book in the series, which was no problem at all.
Nothing But Trouble has everything I expect from Noah Harris. This is a fast moving story, with tons of twists and turns, and a super exciting climax! Adrian and Michael are a true opposites attract couple, and I enjoyed watching them let down their walls and establish a connection.

Janeylou, are you playing Yahtzee? Rolling those dice is so much fun!
I'm going to start a second book now, but if someone finishes their 2nd book first that's 100% fine :)
Trio wrote: "I'm going to start a second book now, but if someone finishes their 2nd book first that's 100% fine :)"I think I'm currently the only one with 2 books planned, so if you do 2 we should be good!

Johnnie by Cardeno C.
224 pages
How it Qualifies:
Read: 3/26/2021
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: That was like one big long warm hug. Absolutely adorable. Johnnie was so sad and the way he grows over the course of the story is wonderful. And Hugh is a big ole' clueless prat, who learns so much about himself through his relationship with Johnnie. Loved it.
Audio performed by Greg Tremblay who does a terrific job. His voice for Johnnie is just perfect.
Finished both my books and updated my post to completion!
Good going on the 2 books T & A ..im at work a bit later today then tasha round with Archer so not as much reading time

Have seen it but not played, ive sort of stopped most of solo challeges only do
AOM / MM choice awards
And Christa started Listopia with a twist which i like, but i only do 1 bk a month
I found out with all the team challenges i was completing forgetting solo ones
Yahtzee is just so much fun because you have to actually roll computerized dice and try to make all the combos in the game - I'm loving it, but I wish it was faster than 1 book/month.
I got halfway through the first chapter of my book and I might need it for SH, so I think I'm switching to eitherTrouble Comes in Threes or Johnnie or Memories of the Heart
I downloaded all three of them and I'll decide on my morning dog walk which one appeals :) decisions decisions...
Oh no! I just saw MKat said in the Q&A that not all animal silhouettes will work so I'm gonna double check my books in the Q&A. Fingers crossed!
Amanda wrote: "Oh no! I just saw MKat said in the Q&A that not all animal silhouettes will work so I'm gonna double check my books in the Q&A. Fingers crossed!"I thi k its more statues that dont work,..your should be ok , its clearly a wolf
okay, I'm done with my 2nd book - I went with Johnnie by Cardeno C. I've updated message #271 to show 'completed' and the new book :)
oh man, I just got Bell, Book and Scandal - I want to wait for the next call just in case it fits, but I don't know if I can *wails* 😭 lol, what a great problem to have :)
Trio wrote: "oh man, I just got Bell, Book and Scandal - I want to wait for the next call just in case it fits, but I don't know if I can *wails* 😭 lol, what a great problem to have :)"Can you spoil me on if John gets better when you do read it?? (That’s the right name right? Just realizing Lanyon lover J love interests!)
Just go for it Trio... still another 24 hours till next call
Problem is I'm reading two really good ones right now - I've got Ponyboy which is enjoyable but in shorter doses, and Leap of Faith. I hate to lose my momentum on this one, it's a great story and beautifully written.I'm not going to be able to help myself though, I just know it.
Finished mine, so over to you to post Caipi.When we read more than 1 book for a task , can we put them all in same post please as just makes easier on front page ....Trio , ive added another post for you for this cat , so dont need to change it

Completion Post Task 7 (6 Books Rated Over 4.0)Book 1
Evolved by N.R. Walker
244 Pages
How it qualifies: 4.21 Rating
Read: 3/27/2021
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Review: A very interesting story with a completely original (at least for MM romance). I liked the characters, and the overall story, but it took me a while to get into it. This could be because I listened to it and I know Leslie rarely works for me.
Book 2
Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch
400 Pages
How it qualifies: 4.12 Rating
Date: 3/27/2021
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Review: A cute YA summer romance. Made me miss Italy something fierce!
you can always tell when I'm reading a book for another challenge when it's not an MM book 😂
and I save my FF books for the RRRC challenges!

Completion Post Task 7 (6 Books Rated Over 4.0)The Bartender and the Babies by Aiden Bates
213 pages
Rating: 4.31
Read: 3/28/2021
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: I always enjoy the books the Bates's write together and this one's got all their best high points. Goofy family members, fun and silly dialogue, a wee bit of drama, and a perfect opposites attract romance. 100% easy enjoyment.

Do we have any challenges ending soon? I'm worried I'm going to overload (I think the Game only has a couple weeks left). If it does I'll join with you!
I've changed my post to completion, let me know if we need me to read a 3rd book!

Completed: 29th March
Rating: 4 stars
Review:
A wonderfully sweet and low angst story. Ollie and Daniel seem like such opposites who would never going to fit but they are perfect together! I totally enjoyed following them on their way to their real marriage!
Amanda wrote: "I've changed my post to completion, let me know if we need me to read a 3rd book!"I think I'm going to finish my book around this time tomorrow, so I won't have time to read a second book. At least not if we wanna get a new task as soon as Kat's rules allow it..... 😂
