Lioness7 | 179 comments I am fine with September. I'll start looking for one tonight.

Char | 404 comments We are reading for September , guys


message 56: by Lioness7 (new)

Lioness7 | 179 comments Okay, I found a book. I am going to read Vampires Like It Hot by Lynsay Sands. It was published on September 18, 2018.

Char | 404 comments Cool!!!

And guys, just to be safe, make sure that your books do have a MPG Romance unless stated otherwise

Sexyladi | 2252 comments As a team select a fall month. Fall this year is from September 22 through December 21 - if you had a September book that is 21st will it be disqualified?


message 59: by Char (new)

Char | 404 comments As a team select a fall month. Fall this year is from September 22 through December 21 - so you may select September, October, November or December, then everyone reads a book initially published in the selected month of any year.

So , I dont think the book would be disqualified if it was before September 21, as long as it's September


message 60: by Lioness7 (new)

Lioness7 | 179 comments The rules state the following:

"There is a 150 page minimum for books, rereads and audios ok. Books may only be used once per player during the challenge. Players may read the same book for a task unless otherwise specified. Books do not have to be romance, but must be fiction."

So, as long as the book is over the page limit and fiction, it doesn't have to romance unless the task specifically states it. It is at the bottom of the first post on the https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... topic.

I knew I had seen that somewhere, so I went on a hunt just in case anyone likes to read more than romance. I know that I do and thought other might as well. I read a lot of horror.

I thought this was a fun book. It fit right in with the rest of the series. I loved the whole idea of the pirates. That was definitely a change for a modern day book. The one thing I noticed about this book was that it wasn't quite as funny as some of her other ones. It still had its moments and I ended up liking Vasco - I didn't think I would. So, I would say this was a definite success.

This is a really fun start to a reverse harem series set in Korea and about the K-pop group H3RO. The first thing I love about this book is the K-pop genre that takes main stage. This book is about getting a group back on stage and into the limelight. I find it interesting the differences in culture and everything from what happens here in America. I also love the characters. The are each unique and most of them are lovable, except Sejin. I don't think he is redeemable. Finally, I love the book doesn't start jumping in sex right away. Sure there are a couple of steamy scenes, but the book focuses more on plot.

Overall, this is a fun book that is really quick moving. The characters are great and the explanations regarding Korean life are interesting. There is so much different. I feel like I am learning somewhat while I read. I also love the songs list at the end. I've found some good music going through it.

message 87: by Lioness7 (new)

Lioness7 | 179 comments I read all of the Witchling Academy books earlier this year and loved them. They tie in with several other series' she has written.

I am working on Wolf Awakened. I am about halfway through it. I should have it posted sometime tomorrow or the next day. So far it is good but a little violent. I guess that is what I get for choosing a wolf shifter mafia book.


message 88: by Char (new)

Char | 404 comments Do you have to read her book series in a certain order? Like , we have to finish this series first and then move on or something?

Wow! This book was a wild ride. It had heat, violence, and some really sad moments. I found parts I could smirk at. Towards the end had me crying. This was just so good. Though, I could probably have done with a little less torture. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
