Forsaken Fae: Book One by R.A. Steffan
251 Pages
How it qualifies: Blue cover (see above)
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Review: This is unprecedented, but I think I liked this less on the relisten? That usually only happens when there has been a significant time since publication but I read this just last year and it was published in 2021. It really does just feel like you're thrown in the middle of the story. Interesting and well written, but at times I was left feeling lost.

LOL - I know I didn't end up going with Conventionally Yours, but I've done two AA books in the last week, and just couldn't do it right now.
TBH I'm still trying to focus on finishing my Greek books, so I was lucky I could slip this one in. It worked in my "mezes"!

Yes, I'm hosting Easter as well (and you know I'm focused on finishing my Greek books).Just remind me... we need to start the book after the call... right?
That would be so much easier if I could use the book I'm finally finishing tonight 😂😂😂.
And have a great time at your folks' house Amanda! Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates that one :).

Read: April 18th
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5
Review:
It might not be everyone's humor but I totally enjoyed all the snark and banter.
Finn and Markus are awesome characters and perfect together. Their lovely dogs bring additional fun to the story.
I as well liked the secondary characters, especially Karsyn and now also Claude.
And the bad guy? That I didn't see coming!

How it Qualifies: shelved Science Fiction Fantasy by 1,497 readers
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review: I haven't read this one since highschool, and it was so great to revisit it, esp. performed by Stephen Fry! Wacky, silly, and very clever, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is just as great the second time around.

Redemption by Nikole Knight
302 Pages
How it qualifies; MPG Fantasy/Paranormal
Date Read: 4/18
Rating: 5 Stars
Review: I forgot how much emotion I was gonna feel with this one and it was so much more in audio! Don’t listen unless you have a box of tissues with you. Graves narration let’s you feel all the hurt, longing, love, and small amounts of hope that make you yearn for the next book. Nikole Knight has made this incredible series and paired with Graves I truly feel like I’m a part of it.
I've finished mine and updated the post to completion.Did everyone have a fun weekend?
Yes thanks, we had gorgeous weather as well Im not getting all my messages lately..only just noticed Amandas
Ive just ordered some Comfy shoes for my " My Chemical Romance " concert ...i must be getting old .And ive only just found out that one of my favourite bands is supporting " Placebo", im gonna be one happy girl 😁😁
I'm so jealous of your upcoming concert... they rescheduled here twice, and Ticketmaster sent us an email saying that our tix are now held by "SeatGeek". We aren't supposed to even be able to print them till the morning of the show... I'm not even sure if we've got tix to Sept 10 or Sept 11.
I checked us in!Trio, my weekend was great how was yours?
And Janine have so much fun!!
It was a great weekend, but I'm exhausted. I hosted at home and I cooked everything (instead of just having it catered). Easy stuff, green beans, glazed carrots, ham, stuffed shells, and a cesar salad. But the cleaning before and after, plus entertaining all day yesterday - Phew!
I'm not checking books tonight - way to tired! I'll come back tomorrow to do that. In the meantime, here is your next task!Task 3 - 2. Read a book recommended to you by a teammate - no pass for this task.
You can do the recommendations however you wish - to the group, to each individual, to the person below you on the list or ?? - it's up to you. If you want to provide a specific shelf to pick from, it needs to have a minimum of 10 books on it. Please include a link to the message with the recommendations in your completion posts.
All the shelves are linked on pg 1 girls Message #8 task 12

How fits ..recommended by Trio
Finished 20 april
Well i totally agree with Trio, this was suoer duper sweet and had me in tears on more than one occasion. Chris and his dad Dave have been living on their own since Matt died 3 years ago and it was lovely seeing Chris ask Santa to find a new boyfriend for his dad and both of them opening their hearts and home for Jeff...perfect 🥰🥰
This one looks like it my work with more of the feb islands ..that young kid surely goes shopping and sings 🤞🤞
I found "sings" in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!Dear Santa is super, duper sweet Janeylou, I hope you enjoy it.

296 pages
How it Fits: Recommended by Caipi
Read: 20 April
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review: It's been awhile since I've read a Lucy Lennox that I really enjoyed. She mixes it up a wee bit in this one, and I really like Tiller. And the friends to lovers works great for them.
oh my gosh, would you believe I couldn't fit any of those choices into any of my outstanding tasks 😂!Luckily Lucy Lennox and Michael Dean aren't a hardship.

You could put it in Uno! In either type of drink or utensils
“Do you have any idea how much I get paid to tell this princess when to drink his water?” (P. 45)
“I glanced at the plate with a frown.”(p. 21).
And I'll move one of my reverses to a 7 so you can put it in a reverse since both Caipi and I have read it

Opened up a reverse in hand 2
Finished and updated Great recommendation Trio..i loved it 👍
Updated mine to completion. Great recommendation here too Trio! You really crushed it with your recommendation shelf
I'm still reading mine, but I'll be finished in a couple of hours.I'm so glad you ladies enjoyed my recs!
I feel like I've got Uno books to spare this month 🤣🤣🤣. Sure, I can add it in there Amanda, but I was hoping for a CREAM or maybe one of the Greek or SH books. Ah well 😽 it's all good!
Our UNO team is VERY unlike most uno teams, since everyone on our team reads more than they've signed up for. I think it's unheard of to have as many extra books as we do lol. I know Janine's team has not been going that way
oh I didn't realize that... I thought we just got an easy month

I'm not a big fan of Fairy Tale retellings but since I needed one for another challenge I took this chance here. And I have to admit this one was nice to read. :)
We are doing ok in UNO this month ..Gustaf is back to reading his normal amount , but i hated last month ( just counted and i ended up doing 28 /45 mini challeng books ) so we could finish
