Here is your next task!

Task 2 - 4. Read 4 3 books tagged/shelved as PNR or fantasy.

To qualify for this task the selected books need to be tagged as ‘PNR’, ‘paranormal romance’, ‘paranormal’ or ‘fantasy’. Tags are the only qualifier for this task. Please include a link to the top shelves page of your qualifying tag in your completion post, also include the qualifying tag, the top shelves page number and the number of tags. If the tag is MPG, just say that it is as your qualifier.

[Katelyn]

Well darn! This is one I did not want to do. This is not a genre I normally read. I wonder if I can find a short one or an audiobook.

[Shandrea]

Same, Katelyn... I find them so hard to get into..

[Shandrea]

So we are a team of 3, but still need to complete 4 books?
I can probably do 2..

[Katelyn]

I believe we only need to do 3. I believe that was a copy and paste error. I will send her a message to make sure.

[Katelyn]

I think I might read



I can get it in ebook and audio

[Katelyn]

I am in the middle of a different one so I will hopefully start this later tonight or tomorrow

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I knew I would mess that up!! Just not into the swing of things yet - you only need to read three books. I will edit the task above.

Also, look for fantasy tags - a lot of books that you wouldn't think would be are tagged as fantasy. And the tags don't have to be MPG for this task.

I've heard really good things about this series, but I'm waiting until the last one comes out. I think that is soon...

[Char]

I'll be doing -

It's tagged Paranormal by 16 peoplee

[Shandrea]

I will be reading The Awakening
Tagged fantasy 1,485 times

[Katelyn]

So I did some digging on the book I am going to start reading with a coworker and it was tagged fantasy by 6 people. So I am going to go ahead and read that. Kat made me think about just checking the book I plan on reading even though you wouldn't think it would be tagged as fantasy.

The Awakening by Caroline Peckham

Pages - 411
Finished - 4/21
Tagged fantasy 1,485 times
Rating- ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review - reading this book makes me think this is one of the first books this author has published. The writing is so cringey…… from the things that the “high school kids “ say to each other to the things the teachers say to the students. It’s just too much.. and rapey. The storyline, the idea, was good. But the actual writing, the dialogue. Bad. Bad. Bad. One of these 😬.

[Katelyn]

I have checked us in for task 2. We should hopefully get task 3 this morning.

Hey, could you put how your book qualifies. Like how many people tagged it and a link to the shelf page. I forgot to have you add it to the first book as well but that one was easy with being able to see the cover.

Thanks 😄

Bully by Penelope Douglas

Qualifies - #1 book in the Fall Away Series https://www.goodreads.com/series/1062...
Rating- ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review - I would've liked this book a lot more if I were closer to the age of the MCs. I thought the heroine was lacking in character. She seemed like a cookie cutter character placed into a story with a "bully". I didn't enjoy it very much and I won't be continuing on with the other books in the series.

[Katelyn]

I finished I will post my post as soon as I can. it should be in an hr or 2
