Here is your next task!Task 15 - 90. Each member reads a book published in sequential months, i.e. June, July, August and September 2019. Teams decide which months. No pass for this task.
Books can cross over from the end of one year to the beginning of the next, or example November 2020, December 2020, January 2021 and February 2021. Make sure you use the initial publication date for this task. If there is a date listed at the top of the editions page use it, otherwise I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition regardless of format for the qualification. Please include the selected months in your completion posts.
We had not committed to a decision on this - so why don’t we keep it easy and pick the most recent 4 sequential months - Jan, Feb, Mar, and April 2021? Should be pretty straight-forward

I’ve got a book that I need to read for PtP that is March 2021, so this works out -
by Mira Lyn Kelly
ok, I'll take January I guess. unless someone has issues.
I guess that means I have February 2021?
Hi Nikk - so far I’d say look at either Feb 2021 or April 2021.If anyone has any issues finding a book, I’m happy to switch months, I have other options I can read.
If I could do April that would be good as I could kill two challenges with one stone 😀
My lost girl was published in feb will read that

Not My Match301 pages/GR
How it fits: Published January 2021
Date completed: 4/29/21
Rating: *4 STARS*
This was cute. I wasn't overly fond of Giselle in the first book but I really misunderstood her. I loved the way that Devon got her. She could totally be herself around him and so could he with her. I melted when they were each describing their "universes", it was so sweet. My heart broke for them when it came to her internship. With all of Devon's issues I know how agonizing it must have been for both of them to figure out what was right vs what they wanted. I'm glad that worked out though. The epilogue was adorable too.
I really hope the author continues with this series. I'd like for Aiden "Alabama" to get his own book too. He's really funny but I see there's more there as well.
Well pooey - I have just gone to post my completion and when putting in the first published date, despite being listed in the April new releases it was actually published March 30th :-( so off to find an April book now
I found A Little Slice of Death which was published mid April (this time i double checked LOL) and should be done later today
Nikk, that sucks!!! I hope you at least enjoyed what you read!
i actually really enjoyed it. It was a 5 star read but it was also 600 pages and it would have been perfect for tower teams that started today LOLthis new read is only 300 pages so hopefully won't take too long :-)

Jaymin eve and Leia stone both have that heroine that is basically the strongest thing since undiluted diamonds... any Thing or person that is mentioned that is strong and all powerful a few chapters later... we discover that its actually the heroine but she never knew it.......
I need to be in the right mood for these type of reads.....

Perfect!And you are the second person of late that I’ve heard rave about this King of Scars series! Just added the first book to my TBR list.
I’m watching the Shadow & Bone series on Netflix right now that’s based of her book. It makes we want to read the book. It’s very good.
Has it started? I want to watch too
Yes. I started watching it yesterday.
