Ahhh, I just saw this. Is Zack one of your MnG books?? I know what it's like to try to knock those out when you're reading for so many other challenges. :D

No it’s not but I enjoyed the last one so happy to read this one and I own it which is always good. The last 2 books I read were MnG and a couple of others had been previous MnG books that I didn’t get to complete so I’m doing well. I have a shelf called MnG picks which has all the books I need to read from current and previous challenges with 59 books on it and I’ve managed to read quite a few for this and PtP so far.

I do the same thing with mine. I go to that shelf first for every other challenge and cross my fingers that one of them will fit. Mine currently sits at 48 to read. I still have a few on there that are from Rounds 37 & 39 that I'm REALLY trying to get off of there.
I'm interested to see what you think of Zack's book. I have a kind of love/hate relationship with it. There's one key plot point that really bothers me but I loved the rest of it.

Glad y'all went with team 1. They had more books that were on kindle unlimited.
Oh I'm so sorry Hazel - I was in a hurry to get out the door and didn't see you'd prefer 11! I really apologize that I didn't read that more carefully! Now that I look at your message, I don't know how I missed that!
Oh Suzanne I didn't read that right either.

I am more than happy with team 1 as there are a few books im reading others in the series.
Thanks for being so flexible Hazel. I always feel silly when I fail at reading comments/instructions during a reading challenge!

Review: I was looking forward to this story as it seemed like Zach and Gina had a very loving relationship and then tragedy struck. Zach seemed like a different character in this book, dictating to Kate about what she should wear, who she should be friends with and starting a relationship with her on his terms and by his inconsistent rules. He is a jerk in this book! I felt it ended with a lot of unresolved matters and areas that could have been explored more thoroughly. It was still a good story and I’m looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

Review: Wow I loved this book so much. The romance was great, it had some super funny scenes, and I loved Penny, the main character. I was excited to read her story, as she is an animal lover and I felt like she lit up the previous books in the series as a side character. I'm so glad she got her turn! I really enjoy Tessa Dare's combination of romance and humor !

You had the same issues with it as I did. I also HATE HATE HATE when the dead wife/girlfriend was perfect when alive but then is suddenly vilified to make a new relationship more palatable.

I will not be finished until this evening. I had plans to finish last night but I had a sleep study so that didn't work out.
Sounds good to me. I've been taking forever to finish a (boring) red book for Uno, so maybe I'll get it done. Yawn.

I am so tired but they are afraid of my heart going out since I stop breathing sometimes.
How scary! I have a friend that had similar issues that were greatly helped by a CPAP machine - which I know very little about except she said it helped tremendously!I hope you get some answers and some solutions!

I really wish you had pushed through to see that the tracking had the wrong book listed - she actually read a different book for that task. I am not going to make you read something else, because you read it in good faith, that is why I asked for a link to the completion post.
Here is your next task!Task 19 - 88. Read 6 books with a boat, plane, car or motorcycle on the cover, teams decide which.
As a team select which vehicle you are looking for on the covers and then read 6 books with that item on the cover. You can use any edition's cover to qualify for this task. Please include the selected item and the qualifying cover in your completion posts.

Thanks Kat
I'm assuming just a part of one will be ok? I just don't see any with a full motorcycle on it.The one I am thinking of reading is this:
which I'm pretty sure is motorcycle enough.

😔
I opened SO many of them to see what they thought about the book. Then I got to that book on the list and it had been high on my TBR for a long time and I own it, so I knew right away that was the one I wanted and stopped. I'm so sorry. I feel so bad.
Thank you for letting us continue. ❤

I was hooked from the prologue where one of the main characters is exexcuted in prison. Has all the hallmarks of a motorcycle club-based romance, but I still found some uniqueness throughout the story.

I don't really like motorcycle books, so it'd be hard for one to get more than 3 stars from me. So 3 stars is actually praise for this genre. This was ok. A biker club leader learns about his 5-year-old daughter after her mother is murdered. He also is very attracted to her kindergarten teacher, and vice-versa. I never believed the romance, but I suspect that is more me than the book.
I can try to read one tomorrow. I can probably pick up that short one April read.
