Hi guys, I do not have notifications anymore, that sucks.Do you have them?
I'm good with any year, let me know!
I get them but not for all my threads.
I get mine a little whenever lol. I don't know how to explain it, it's weird.
I am still getting all my notifications so my email is generally filled with them now that I am in 3 challenges.
Oh I never chose email as I get so many emails from author's and publishers. I have so many newsletters because of prolific works so this would get annoying fast.
Have we decided on 2017? I'm about to start my book if that's the case.
Helke hasn't confirmed yet, but the rest of us are good for it.
I literally just finished listening to an audiobook published in 2017 today!! Argh, my timing sucks.Selection Post -- Task 6 -- Book published in 2017

Just FYI, I am putting off reading a Gregory Ashe book to read this one!! ((The Same Breath) I am over 50% through it.
Yesterday was the first day in a long long time I didn't read one page. Am at my parents and hubby and I built a walkway around the house yesterday. Every muscle aches but we got it finished. 💪
So great you got to see them and help them Helke. It must be such a relief to actually be able to DO SOMETHING positive for them!
That’s awesome Helke! I have finished my book. I absolutely did not like it 😂

Review: OMG, this totally hit all my feels -- MCs dealing with autism and social anxiety/depression who overcome so much to help themselves and others like them. What a beautiful sequel to the first book.

That's too bad, Gustaf. I really enjoyed mine, which was why I couldn't put it down. Don't know why I didn't read it years ago. Also, I noticed the author promised another book or two in the series (at the end of the book) in 2018, but I don't see them attached to this series, so maybe not written.

She didn't publish anything in 2018 and then went on to publish her doctor's series in 2019. So maybe it just didn't hit? I don't know.

This started out really great. Fantastic even. I love myself some cowboys and Simon was an interesting character right away. Simon is loving his life on the family farm, in fact he can't think of anything he would rather do. However, he's lonely. Being gay in Wyoming doesn't leave him with a lot of options and everything he wants is someone to have a life with. Build a family with. Enter Sean. Sean moved to Wyoming to get away from his parent. Together with his twin brother he's operating a thriving architect firm. He's sworn to never date a client but it's hard when he gets hired to draw some building for Simon and his family.
So far, so good. I was all there for it. Loved the setting, the MC's and the secondary characters. Sadly, it all went downhill from Simon and Sean meeting each other. And I mean, down, downhill. Not just a little. Suddenly everything changed. We got a time jump a month in the future and got told about Simon and Sean getting to know each other after it happened. And the time jumps just kept on coming. "Summer turned to spring", "two weeks later", "three weeks later", etc, etc. Around the 40% mark our MC's was together and steadier than ever. And I was silently wondering what would happen in the rest of the book. Turns out I don't need to read the rest of the books in the series (not that I was planning to either way), because I got everything told in this book but from the perspective of Simon and Sean.
Basically, this could've been a five star read but what started out great turned out feeling more like amateur fan fiction. This is an edited version... I can't imagine what it must have been reading the first version. However, just like a car crash I couldn't look away and finished this in one go. I'll give the author that
Ok I will have to read Bone to Pick. That is the only of my SH choices that was published in 2017. I have it as audiobook. So will stat listening tomorrow on my drive home.

I have read it and quite enjoyed. Just noticed the page number is 240 so could be used in the Hunt for cat 2? Is that the one with a 4 and 2 in page count?
Not sure which number.ber the cat has. Finished my book. Will post later as I'm on my phone now.As usual I loved it. Sadly T.A. Moors only wrote 2 books for this series. I would love to have more.

review:
This was a re-read for me even as audioversion. I love this series. It is a pitty that T.A. Moore only wrote 2 books for this series.
Ok, I have everything added up to this point and we'll be ready for a new task when Em is done. Helke, can you please add a publication date? :)
Oh sorry I forgot. Will add it when back at my pc.

Em, how are you doing?

Done (finally).
Hi guys, I'm sorry I didn't come here before.Gustaf, as we said, I'll pass this task to allow us to go to the next.
I'll be able to read for this one because I'll cancell this other challenges.
With only on going on, it should be easier for me.
I do apologise for not saying anything before guys.
In this challenge, when someone passes the task still needs to be completed by the rest of the team. So in this case, you are still short 220 pages short of completion. However, I will make an exception for this one. 😊
Here is your next task!Task 7 - 1. Each player reads a book by the same author, teams decide author - no pass for this task.
As a team select an author, then everyone reads a book by the selected author. Please include the selected author in your completion posts. Pseudonyms are acceptable.
Did I count or pages that wrong? :O wow. Well, thank you!
Team, I literally just finished a N.R. Walker book lol. Let me find another one.
Completion post Task 7:Book: Pieces of You
by NR Walker
185 pages
Date read: April 22
Rating: 4.5 stars
Review: I honestly wasn't looking forward to another amnesia story (I had just finished another one for another challenge), but I found this one to be so sweet. Justin is hit by a truck and loses all memory of the last 5 years, when he met, fell in love and started living with Dallas. Dallas is so patient and sweet and stays by his side through weeks of recovery that Justin starts to fall in love with him all over again. There is no anger and raging, no fear, just love and patience. Gonna read the next one for sure!
How it fits: Written by N.R. Walker
Emilienne, I hope things are starting to get a little easier for you!
I guess we have given up on this challenge?
