Sorted
Yup! And I actually not that long ago had to read a car on the cover and had a rough time lol. Hopefully it’s easier this time around
I just realized it was SIX books. dangit.
haha, I'm skimming through my unread audiobooks and I've found every mode of transport except car!
Completion Post Task 11 - 88. Read 6 books with a boat, plane, car or motorcycle on the cover, teams decide which. - CARBig Sexy Love by Kirsty Greenwood
352 pages
How it Qualifies:
Read: 4/7/2021
Rating: 5 Stars
Review: I laughed, oh how I laughed! Extremely funny, often absurd, but always in good taste, the humor in Kirsty Greenwood's Big Sexy Love is exquisite. If you're read the precis you know there's some angst here as well, and it is sad - but joyous too, and a very happy ending.
Audio performed by Emmy Rose who does a smashing job! Her range of Northern English accents is fantastic, and all the crazy, goofy New York accents she does had me rolling (longtime NYC resident here lol).
Truly an amazing story which deserves all five stars!
Do ypu think this will work
I can use for the Game as.well
I also have the audio for
, it would be a re-read, but if I make good time with Big Sexy Love, I'll be able to do it too.
I did come across

I think it works, just would probably double check In q&A

Completion Post Task 11 (6 Books with Car on cover)Book 1
The Hardest Thing by James Lear
256 Pages
How it qualifies: Car on this cover:
Read: 4/5/2021
Rating: 3 Stars
Review: If you’re looking for a great mystery or a great romance, I would suggest you look somewhere else. However if you’re looking for a fun, often funny story that is very much erotica this may just be the book for you. Not my usual fare, but I was entertained enough that I will likely pick up the next book at some point.
Book 2
Runaway Road Trip: A Definitely-Not-Romantic Adventure by Kris Ripper
198 Pages
How it qualifies: Car on cover (see above)
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: I found this cute, charming, and often times hilarious. I really liked both MCs and their semi zany adventures while on the road trip. Now, I’m not actually someone that’s bothered by an 80%+ breakup. I know for a lot of people that’s a death sentence, but I don’t actually mind. Here though, it didn’t work for me as the reason for the breakup was dumb and waaaay over dramatic. So lost about half a star for that, but I still enjoyed it immensely
Completion Post - Task 11 - 88. Read 6 books with a boat, plane, car or motorcycle on the cover, teams decide which.
The Little Death by Michael NavaPages: 168
How it qualifies: Team decided car on the cover
Completed: 7th April
Rating: 4 stars
Review:
A sad story but a great mystery with interesting characters. Especially the main character, 33 years old lawyer Henry Rios, was very intriguing. I felt with him, his frustration, his sadness, melancholy and grief, his striving for justice, his anger, his loneliness......
I'm definitely going to continue reading this series.
And on a side note, I'm happy to own a second hand bought paperback edition from 1986 of this story and holding this actually in my hands while reading surely emphasised the book's vibes of the eighties.
Ugh, my notifications are acting up again! 😤
And mine are and pages are taking ages to load

I was just about to tell you this was invalid as not MM 😄😄😄, then i remembered which group we were in ....it also means you probably had an easier time.finding a book than we did ..
Ive picked a long one so it works with The Game , hopefully finish it tomorrow night 🤞🤞🤞
my book is really funny, but LONGdo we still need someone to read another on to make our 6?
Updated mine to completion!We do need one more. If anyone knows of one that's right at the 150 page count I might be able to squeeze it in, but I can only find long ones.
Me too Amanda - this was harder than I'd expected. I'm almost done with my audiobook but the narrator speaks with such an accent that I really couldn't speed it up by much.
Amanda did you find one or should I keep scanning?
Asking my SH team if they have any suggestions!
but it's sooo long - excellent story though
I saw this one Amanda, too bad there's no car though lol
Do we think a semi counts?
(I'm also fighting a reading slump tooth and nail lol)
I don't think a semi can count :(you've gone above and beyond Amanda - you're amazing!
I'll finish mine tomorrow morning - I had to stop listening to my audiobook because I've watched movies with my daughter all evening. Sometimes I can get away with it, but not tonight.But I can get away with scrolling for book covers on my laptop, that doesn't bother her.
I've seen a lot of bicycles, surprisingly.
tomorrow. It's Penelope Keith and she talks fast.NOT MPG Romance, never mind

I don't think it has to be MPG romance for this one, just fiction :)
ETA: Found this "Books do not have to be romance, but must be fiction." in the sign ups
I definitely don't mind waiting, but I've asked about the semi too because I've been wanting to read it anyway! So either way we can have it covered by one of us
Completed and updated my post. Do we still need another book? My SIL is visiting so I won't have time to read until tonight, but let me know if I should start another book for this task then.
Ive found another car book girls., only 130.pgs and next in the series for me ..so should have them both finished tonight
Janeylou wrote: "Ive found another car book girls., only 130.pgs and next in the series for me ..so should have them both finished tonight"There is a 150 page minimum for books, Janine! ☹
Oh bugger, id forgotten that 🙄🙄 ..ill have another look .We obviously readnall the car books last year, must make sure to change it next time round
