[Nanci]

I logged two more books, but yes, we're still behind. We'll have to catch them on this next week!

[Nanci]

For the week of Feb 15-21, I will read The Kindest Lie, which has the word "Love" on page 6, "...Ruth lay on the love seat..."

Guessing I'll find the word in a few more books I'll read that week, since it's an easy word to find.

[Jodi]

I have a few books to add still! Just wrapping one up this evening.

LOL I read 6 short ones this past week and two longer ones. I have no clue yet what I will be reading this week.

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

WTG team!!! I just logged my last 4 books....I know I am behind on posting.

After I posted I think we have 96 points and Team Cupid has 89.

This week should be pretty easy. Any romance book should qualify LOL

I haven't decided what I will read this week but I am working on getting my books together. Keep up the great work....ummm I mean reading!!!

GO TEAM GO!!!!!!

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Well, I was updating some of my other challenges and realized that I had another book that fit last week's theme. So I posted it in the check-in thread. That brought us up to 99 points : )

[Carrie]

Quick question - if I only signed up for 1 book per week, am I allowed to read more than that?

[Angie ☯]

Yes, Carrie. I think I saw that asked in another month. The sign up books are for Donna to try to even out the teams. Some people may read more and some may read less.

Perfect! I didn’t want to put another book of I wasn’t allowed to. Thanks!

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

It's mid week and I hope everyone is getting in some good reading time.

What's everyone reading? So far I have read 3 books at 3 pts each. I have a couple more on the go!!!!



Keep up the reading and GO TEAM GO!!!

Woooo Hoooo!!! Way to go! You're doing awesome!!!

How was the Sophie Kinsella book? I bet it was good. I have enjoyed some of her other books. Typically they are funny : )

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Jodi wrote: "Wow Robin.. any recommendations?"

Ummmm the series that I have read 2 books from were good. They are cozy mysteries with humor/romance mixed in. Of course I read them out of order which I normally don't do but I needed book #5 for another challenge and then really liked it and went back and read book #1 LOL I plan to keep reading them.

It was good. I have really enjoy Sophie Kinsella books. 👍😊

[Diana S]

Does someone have any suggestions for the next theme "Soulmates" I already read last October. Help! 😳

[Nanci]

Diana,
I haven't looked for soulmate yet, but your above book is a good suggestion! I think any book where two people are soulmates will work. Of course if the term is mentioned in the book, even better.

I'm hoping to get at least one more book in before Feb 21. Maybe two. My current book, has love on pg 159 "I love them the same."

[Diana S]

Thank Nanci that helps ☺️

[Jodi]

Thank you Diana, Nancy and Robin! I will check them out! Definitely going to need some recommends or to know if there’s a ‘soulmate’ list or shelf out there. Lol

It was close, 🙃
But I got them in before midnight 👏

[Jodi]

Angie, how was Love Your Life? Did it happen to have soulmate in the text? Lol

[Angie ☯]

Diana read Love Your Life. :-)

Amazon has a search the book feature. That book has "soulmate" on page 181.

[Diana S]

Angie ☯ wrote: "Diana read Love Your Life. :-)"

Yes, it has the word soulmate in text. I wanted to save it for this week. But I had to return back to the library.

[Diana S]

This week I'm concentrating on forever couples (definitely soulmates) such as Anne & Gilbert , Bella & Edward :D

[Nanci]

Yes, I don't think we need to have the term soulmate in the text, although that makes it definitely work, as long as we can justify two of the fairly MCs do act like they are each other's "one and only"! :)

You got it. If you can justify it, then it works. ; )

[Mary]

I have started The Soulmate Equation for the week.

[Nanci]

Sounds like a fun read, Mary. Unfortunately, there's a long wait at my library.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Love Week


Eros: 172
Cupid: 124

A few more days to get your Soulmates books in. Who is gonna win this war? Be sure to check back. I have something special for you collectors out there.

[Mary]

Just added my latest. I finished The Soulmate Equation via audiobook and actually enjoyed it. If anyone here is a Christina Lauren let me know what I should read next! I am hoping by the end of the day I can get 1 more book done. I am in the middle of it and it is a romance and I am flying through it.

[Mary]

I am subscribed to Scribd and they had the audiobook available which made me happy.

[Nanci]

Nice! I subscribed to scribe once, but wasn’t using it enough, so dropped it.

[Jodi]

I have Scribd too and I use more books (recent and new) then I do on Audible or even my Library App. Love Christina Lauren and just finished Soulmate Equation also.

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

I finally got my books posted for Soulmates week!!!

This was an awesome Team and I really enjoyed reading with all of you!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

I will post the winning team probably tomorrow night. That gives everyone time to update all their finished books. Don't forget to check back to see which team wins & to see my little surprise!
