Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4049 comments I was able to move one of Trio's books in our uno so I don't have to rush through a 700 page book I wanted to savor and it is such a relief that reading isn't stressful lol

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4049 comments Trio do you have a 2nd book you're reading this week that's MM romance (I know you read outside of it). We need to do 6 so a two of us will have to do 2.

ALSO. There's about to be a second round of Clue and one of our team members can't play this round. Do you want to join us? Don't feel pressured, but Caipi remembered that you said you felt a little FOMO about not playing the first round!


message 158: by Trio (new)

Trio | 2789 comments yes I'd love to play clue!

I got the email with the link to click for Clue, but I got this message: "Sorry, this group's administrators have not accepted your membership."
I am in the Game Night group... is that the right group?


message 168: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 2978 comments Trio..its in A Million More Pages thus time round ( its sister group)


message 169: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 2978 comments Trio, i think i missunderstood your question
Challenge is in AMMP .which you are a member but you only need to check into our team ( Azure ) to post your completion post .

All the rest is done in our secret group Team Clue ( johhny weir on picture )
I sent you an invite yesterday ..is that the one that that says the adminustrater message ?
Have checked team clue to see if i didnt do properly and still.says you have been sent an invite.
Let me know

Trio | 2789 comments I was able to find the team thread and left a comment... the invite to the secret group is where I meet the stalemate. I see the invite email, and there's also an invite on my "groups" tab of GR, but either one I click results in the message that it's a secret group and the group's administrators have not accepted your membership.


message 171: by Trio (last edited Apr 28, 2022 05:56AM) (new)

Trio | 2789 comments I updated my completion post to include The Husband Gambit. Caipi, I think it's up to you?

The Damning Stone (Tales From Verania, #5) by T.J. Klune
The Damning Stone by T.J. Klune
521 Pages
How it fits: T.J. Klune
Date Read: 4/30/2022
Rating: 5 Stars
Review: Everything I wanted and more! This is my all time favorite series and I relisten to it multiple times a year so I am SO excited that this addition was added. Justin deserved his HEA so much and I loved Dylan. I somehow thought this was going to be more serious than the other books (HA), and instead I got all the laughs I wanted to. But don't worry, it's TJ, you'll cry very early in the story as well lol. All the favorite characters are back and honestly, if TJ wrote in this world for forever I'd be more than happy.


message 178: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4049 comments I'll probably be listening to this one Saturday on my drive, but might get to it tomorrow. Just a heads up it might be a couple days before I finish!

Review: What a lovely coming of age story! Told completely from Luca's point of view, we really get to know this amazing young man, just wonderful.

I'm also blown away by the narrator, he does a spectacular job!

Like a Lover (Housemates, #2) by Jay Northcote
Like a Lover by Jay Northcote
Pages: 203
How it qualifies: Jay Northcote
Read: April 29th
Rating: 3.5 stars
Review:
It's always great to get back to one of Jay Northcote's books. :)
Josh and Rupert are a great couple, although I could have done with a bit less sex scenes. ;)
This time I listened to the audio, perfectly narrated by Mark Steadman.

No, I think I'll sit this one out. I already have sometimes difficulties to make sure that I have enough time to read for all the challenges in time.
.... and I'm still thinking about signing up for the Big Bang Challenge. Not sure if I want to work through all those dailies again. 🤔


message 193: by Janeylou (new)

If you are on my team for big bang then im going with slow and steady this time round , and dailies are different to last time
