Review: A family generational story following Sunji and her children and grandchildren from Korea to Japan during the war and their small triumphs and struggles. This was a lovely touching story with devotion and love present throughout the hate and sorrow and I actually really enjoyed it which I didn’t think I would.
I knew nothing about the cultural things I learned in that book!

It's not really possible to review this with anything more than what the synopsis says without giving too much away. While the story's twists and turns aren't really a surprise, it is really well written and just sucks you in. I was completely heart-invested in Matthew and Audrey.

Review:
Alex is one of the "Bow Street Bachelors" who has returned from war and is now investigating criminal activity. When he's asked to find a famous jewel thief, his path leads to Emmy Danvers, who intrigues him in every way.
I liked Emmy - she is unconventional, skilled and well, just cute. She and her family work well together and the things they do are very clever. I liked Alex too, although I was definitely team Emmy.
I have a second one I'm reading, but we are driving all day tomorrow - and I don't think I can link and post on the app - so I'll have to wait til we stop for the day and I can get my laptop going to post anything, unless I don't have to link in my completion post.Hmm...I'm going to try to link it here to see if I can copy/paste this:

Review: Violet and Eli had been rivals all through school and when he comes back into town both of them are shocked at how attractive the other is. They can’t have a conversation without an argument but also they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. This was enjoyable and funny and it’s the first in a series about 5 hot brothers so I’m looking forward to more of this series!
I fell asleep with my kindle on my face last night or I would have finished and started a second book. Checking my options now and will start one.
I started a second one last night. But only got to chapter 2. HAHA

I wanted to be irritated with this book for being SO Harry Potter-ish, because there were an OVER-abundance of similarities. But I couldn't help it...no matter how much I fought against it, I really did love it.

Review: this was pretty good although it didn't really stand out as an epic fantasy. I guess I've read too many similar. I did like that the heroine was pretty kick ass.

Checked us in. I did not realize this is over this week.
Here is your next task!Task 24 - 113. The first person on your team alphabetically selects a book or a book series and everyone reads that book or a book in the selected series.
The first person on your team alphabetically is April. So April selects a book or series and everyone reads the selected book or a book in the selected series.
Ok I went through our list we had. Cyndee and Hazel both had a book on their to read list. So I am going with. Melissa Foster
This Series
I am not sure if anyone read the question and answer that Kat posted. For this task, instead of just completing it, you will continue reading to add to the total number of books read for your team. There will be no passes for the last task and to complete it, every team member must complete a book for the task and contribute to the overall book count. So, the task is considered ‘completed’ when every team member has read one book for the task, but you can continue reading in order to increase your overall book count for the task in case that is needed for a tie breaker.
great I hadn't seen that. thanks April
So we keep reading from the same series?
Ok I have read a few but not read the first one which I own so I’ll read that first and see how I get on.
Thats what I was thinking Hazel. How many have you read from that series?
So this is what Kat said. For your task, you each need to read a book from the series to complete the task. You got the task yesterday, so you would get the last task tomorrow if everyone has read a book for the current task and you post the completion. 😊

Review: I read this series out of order but I think I enjoyed this one more knowing what I know of the couple in the books to come. It was nice to go back to the beginning and read Truman and Gemma’s story with the trials that they went through and the personal troubles that they faced.
April wrote: "So this is what Kat said. For your task, you each need to read a book from the series to complete the task. You got the task yesterday, so you would get the last task tomorrow if everyone has read..."
I won’t start another in the series in case everyone finishes and we get another task.

Review: So I had never heard of this series or author until this challenge, which is always a great challenge bonus - finding a new series/author. I kind of thought I wouldn't like it, but I was wrong. I liked both of the main characters, and it was great seeing them bond and seeing their relationship develop. I also liked the side characters, which means I'll want to continue the series to see what happens to them :)

Glad you liked it Suzanne. I had read the 2nd book first and read a few more and I’ve enjoyed them all.
oh good! I'm glad you all introduced me to it!
I'll be done this afternoon! Have to play taxi for my kids for a bit then I'll finish it up.
