Completion Post - Week 8 - Option 1Book: How to Be a Wallflower by Eloisa James
Pages: 384
How it fits: MPG Historical Romance
Date read: 11/30
Rating: 3.5 stars
Review: I overall liked this one, though I struggled at first to get into it. I liked the chemistry between the couple. It was a unique start to the relationship by her messing up a deal Jake had tried to make with a costume maker (through a shady solicitor), to prevent her from going out of business if she pulled out of that deal. Overall fun, but not her best novel.

Rating: 2 stars
Review: not a fan of novellas which is a big reason for my rating. But also, this book failed to communicate any form of emotion. It didn’t feel like a story, more like a news article.

Review: pretty typical Jay Northcote book. Fairly short and sweet, but not super memorable. Also uses the sickness trope, which I don't love.
Nothing Serious
Sorry, I'm on the plane and the wifi isn't working on my tablet, that's the best I can do on my phone.

Review:
This was a cute little novella and got to explore the characters a little more! I like that they're now 21 and this isn't an underaged underground fight club. Very cutesy compared to the others in the series that I've read so far. The "100 reasons why I love you" was a little OTT for me but I do think this sets up the next story well and makes you want to know more - unlike the order I decided to go in which was all over the place and random

Sweet holiday story. Forced proximity allowing two friends to admit their attraction and feelings. A little bit of miscommunication towards the end, but of course it all worked out. Well narrated by Matthew Lloyd Davies.

Aiswrya, please add how you know the book is set in London. Could be as simple as, précis says (include quote from précis) something about Drury Lane Theatre and that Drury Lane is in London.

Book: Sawyer by J.J. Harper

Rating: ****
Review: Devon is a mechanic who goes to Bar 28 for his brother's engagement party, not realizing his brother used to date one of the bartenders. Sawyer is the ex and doesn't really want to be there, but Sawyer makes it worth while.
I like how Devon lets Sawyer be who he is. He doesn't judge and helps and makes him feel better about himself. Love this entire series.
Once we get those minor corrections along with both Christy’s selection and completion posts - we should be done!It would be helpful if someone could double check the posts, but that was all I could see on my phone.

Thank you!!
Corrected :) I had previously asked Jane if she would accept this book for this specific task and she said yes. So I did link that message in my post. Thank you Kat!
Looks like we still might have a chance! Based on my thread stalking lol, it’s just Team 3 that’s close to us. They are also waiting for one more person to post their completion. If we get Christy’s in, we have a good chance 🤞🤞
I had a great time on the challenge, you all made a wonderful team 😊 see you around on other challenges! Kat, thank you for captaining. And Jane, thank you for organizing!
Sorry guys, we took my dad out to celebrate his 81st birthday last night, so there was no way I was going to be able to finish a book until today. Enjoyed the challenge!
Thanks so much Kat! I loved the challenge :D Can't wait to see you all around for different ones and maybe on teams again :)
I had fun! You made my job easy! 😊

I’m not drawn to futuristic stories, but these work well for me. I do enjoy romantic suspense and mysteries. There are great characters and the narration is fabulous. Whenever I start one, I just relax into the story and enjoy!
