I'm going to plan to read 3.Let's all try to check each other's posts to make sure we don't have errors.
I should be able to read three also. I lucked out...the shortest book on my M&G list has 175 pages
.
wow! that's a novella for you Karen πI need to get back to that series because I enjoyed book 1.
Today is my first day back to work since May 26th. It is so hard to focus. It's nice having a long vacation, but it's so hard to get back into the swing of things.
I'll do 2 for sure and try for a third

I'm still enjoying it too. In fact, I think I'll check the page count of the next one, since I can get the audio from the library! π

Ok, I went searching through my shelves (among other places) and have a list of several more books, all but one in the 150-159 page range, and that last one is under 200 pages. We'll see how many I can get through by tomorrow night! π

Review:
I don't normally give five stars to novellas because so often it feels like something is missing, but this book really has everything it needs to be a sweet, feel-good romance. I loved the MCs, and their relationship actually felt believable despite the shortness of it.
One of the best "woke up married in Vegas" books I've read π.

OK I guess this author just really works for me. I thought that was adorable, and without going cheesy. Loved it!

I've read a few in this series and they've all been great for how short they are
Yeah, I read Big Hose maybe two challenges ago and liked it, but I never made it back to the series. I'm doing
right now since it also fits the task, and it's really good, too. I don't know how she does the relationships so well when the stories are so short! I don't think I've come across another novella series with so many good ones.
Hey. Besides Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh, does anybody have any suggestions on Kindle Unlimited audiobooks?
Chan wrote: "Hey. Besides Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh, does anybody have any suggestions on Kindle Unlimited audiobooks?"The only one I can think of offhand besides those two is Mary Burton, and only some of hers have the audio included. I'm sure there others that I've read/listened to, but I can't think of them right now. I'll do some hunting and see if I can find any more.
You are nailing the books, Karen, woo hoo.I've finished my 3rd and am off to bed.
I just wanted to say thanks for having me on your team. It's been fun and nice to chat about things besides books.

Chan, the page count for your 2nd book should be 251, not 256. Looks like you combined the two kindle editions - 251 and 236!

Ooh another new to me author. I'll check her out. Thanks, Karen!

You finished those 3 books fast, Tink. We made a great team this round. We were laid back and we are still one of the top teams.
Sweet Dreams, Tink!

Thanks for catching that Karen. I fixed it.
Chan wrote: "Ooh another new to me author. I'll check her out. Thanks, Karen!"I've only read a couple of hers, and I liked them but they didn't blow me away. Pretty standard RS if I remember correctly...it's been a couple of years, I think.
I started another one, but not sure I'm going to finish it. We'll see...
I'm hoping to have 3 more (yikes!!!). Definitely two (one I'm just finished with), and the third one will just depend on how much I can speed the last two up.
Karen, i stumbled across this list of books and it seems everything here is KU with audio. https://www.amazon.com/s?i=digital-te...

Oh cool! I definitely need to check that out. I was able to get to a list of KU books with audio, but it included the ones that had audio but it wasn't included.
Wow, I just reread that last post. I was obviously rushing...it included stuff that wasn't included??? π€£π€£π€£
lol i read it several times, but couldn't quite figure it out
I just meant that the search I found included all KU books that had audio versions, whether the audio was free with KU or not. π
gotcha. yes. that's the only way i knew to search for KU books. But somehow, i stumbled upon the link i posted above.
okay...that's it for me. I'm off to bed.
Wow! You guys smoked it! I was trying to get a third book in, but didn't quite manage it.
π₯ First Place - Team 2: Have Book...Can Travel - 29 Tasks, 29 Booksπ₯ Second Place - Team 7: Fast as Molasses - 29 Tasks, 20 Books
π₯ Third Place - Team 6: Spicy Sprinters - 29 Tasks, 14 Books
π Fourth Place - Team 8: Loitering Layabouts (Literally) - 29 Tasks, 4 Books
2nd place!!! An amazing finish for an amazing team! This has been so much fun, having a totally relaxed, no pressure team, and still finishing right near the top. You all are great!
I agree and great job on finishing so many books Karen.
Congrats, Fast Like Molasses! Awesome job!!
π Congrats on second place - a great run and fab finish! π
Wow! Can't believe we finished in second! Great job guys!I had such a great time β€οΈ. Look forward to the next one!
