Anyone have shape shifter book recommendations? Not my genre at all, but I'd like to complete the bonus for this month. Prefer shorter books, as it may be a struggle for me. Thanks!
Mod
I second the Mercy series for shapeshifters. It's one of my favorites. I also have read all of this series Fated. The first book is less than 300 pages. It's another one of my favorites. I'm going to pick up the next book in this series because I keep forgetting about it. Shiver

I'm a Capricorn! Thanks :)"
Got you added! Welcome to the challenge! The Capricorn bonus is up, don't miss it!!
Mod
Please make sure that you list the books in your post when you complete them, even if it's just a simple book link, so that I can see what books you read! You don't have to list justification if you're using your SS for that, just I'd love to be able to see what books are read!
Ashley... Aquarius here!Also, for 10/ten in title... could it be a 10th book in a series?
Mod
Also, for 10/ten in title... could it be a 10th book in a series?"
I'll get it added!
And no, it has to be in the actual title. The number 10 or spelled out TEN.
Mod
Got you updated Jackie! :)
Mod
Got it Risa! Happy reading! :)
Mod
Happy Roaring.. I mean Reading! (I'm HILARIOUS!)
Does anyone have any shape shifter books to recommend? Not my genre at all, so shorter books are appreciated. TIA
Mod
Got it!! :)
Mod
Nanci! A few comments to your question start here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
:)
Thanks so much. I’m on my phone which is always fun on the app!🤣
Mod
It's terrible! I wish they would work out all the weirdness there!
I'm a Pisces over here but everyone tells me I should've been an Aries. My birthday is March 18th and I was two weeks early. Oops!
Mod
Those cusp birthdays are always wild!
Thanks, Anna and Ashley for the shape shifter suggestions. They had Moon Called at my library, so I went with that one.
Mod
Oh I hope you LOVE it! Do let us know! :)

Got it Joyce!
I already finished my bonus task but i don't know if it's right where i added it in my ss, and i am Libra add mine please
Mod
I didn't know if i could add it there, thanks
Anyone else doing the bonus read, "Missing Since Monday"? I'm about 2/3 done. It reads very fast!
Mod
I am, but I haven't started it yet! I keep letting other books get in the way! I plan to try and start it this week!
The same thing happened to me, Ashley! I just finished it. I had no idea it was the same author who wrote the Baby-Sitter books. My 2nd and 3rd grade girls loved those!
Ashley, I wasn't sure where to post my sign on my template so I titled it with my Zodiac sign. Also, if you look at my SS I have 8 books posted so far and 16 points but on the Member SS it only shows me with 1 point so am I doing something wrong? I did just add my books tonight for the first time so maybe that's why?

Mod
Vicki, you need to update the Point Tracker SS with your stats, it doesn't do it automatically! I don't have access to anyone's SS unless they give it to me, so there's no real way for me to set that up.
I believe I can auto-populate your score if you'd like me to try. I'll need access to your SS though.
I will do my best to keep it updated when I have time to look at people's challenges, but I don't always have time to do that.
Mod
Got it! I switched your link.
A note for everyone: If you do move your post, please don't delete your previous comment, just remove the text from it. Thank you!
