Had a quick look through their thread but theyve read too much so will check properly tomorrow
I'm gonna ask about series rule because I found a series I want to start which will be easier than going through more of their books (they sure are competitive lol)
Linking the post so I don't have to find it again if series rule applies https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
okay I'll take a look at their thread, thanks ladies!

Don't Twunk with My Heart by Renae Kaye
200 pages
How it Fits: read by Wende
Read: 4 Nov
Rating: 4 stars
Review: It's been a long time since I've read a Renae Kaye, and I enjoyed that. I knew Joel Leslie's narration was going to drive me bonkers, he has the worst Australian accent lol.
the series rule does apply, right? or does it need to be the actual book they read?

Madison Square Murders by C.S. Poe
299 Pages
How it qualifies: Dee read book 3
Date Read: 11/6/2023
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: CS Poe writes really great characters and interesting mysteries. I think I like Doyle and Larkin even more than Snow and Winter and I did not expect that!
I'll have mine done in the middle of the night I'm sure lol but I'll update tomorrow
I want to read that series Amanda, I'm looking forward to seeing how you liked it.
It was really good! I'm sad that I have so many books planned so I can't start the next one yet. If you like Snow&Winter you'll like it, but I actually think it's better
Just realised i havent done a completion post and i finished it days ago (2nd) ..will post now
Here is your next task!Task 11 - 37. Read 6 books set in the US.
Books selected for this task need to be set in the US. You can use the book details on the main page, title, precis, tags or lists as your qualification.

Yes and glad the two books I started today are set in London so I don’t feel like I wasted them!

Completion post, Task 1137. Read 6 books set in the US
The Ghost and Charlie Muir by Felice Stevens
328 pages
How it Fits: set in New York State (Brooklyn)
Read: 8 Nov
Rating: 5 stars
Review: What an absolutely stunning story! I do love Felice Stevens' novels, but The Ghost and Charlie Muir is something truly special. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to read it lol.
A perfectly crafted paranormal romance, Stevens weaves a poignant tale of past lovers / friends to lovers all engineered by a crafty, cranky ghost. Plus the familiar themes of first time, coming out, and hurt/comfort which the author does so flawlessly.
The Ghost and Charlie Muir is beautifully performed by Kale Williams.
my Speedy team is up for the win in Bingo, so I've got to read that book first and it's not long enough to work for this challenge unfortunately, but I put my selection post there for you to link Janeylou :)
I read Out of the Blues a few months ago Janeylou and I really loved it, I gave it 5 stars. I hope you enjoy it!
Would you believe that none of my upcoming books (besides the London ones) say where they take place! I might "need" to read the next two Poe books

Last round i should have recieved a book but didnt and i put my name down to gift a book but didnt get asked . So not sure if it just got too much to organise

Subway Slayings by C.S. Poe
274 Pages
How it qualifies: MPG Setting New York
Date Read: 11/7/2023

Review: Larkin is just such an amazing character. The mystery wrap up got a little convoluted for me, but I still overall enjoyed this one
Book 2
Broadway Butchery by C.S. Poe
311 Pages
How it qualifies: "The Cold Case Squad of the NYPD..." and "Routine construction at a Broadway souvenir" in precis
Date Read: 11/9
Rating; 4 Stars
Review: Wait, no I thought this was the ending, I don't want to wait for more! I love Larkin and Doyle each opening up to one another and just being so sweet. The mystery was better done this time. And Noah still sucks.

I'm done and updated my post to completion.
Im hopining to finish 2nd book tonight
Janeylou wrote: "Im hopining to finish 2nd book tonight"I did read another book set in the US, but it isn't a romance so I don't think it would work for this challenge - also, I know how fast you read Janeylou so this probably woudn't be too much of a hardship for you 🤣🤣.

I've noticed that too Janeylou - I've won in the past and been gifted a book. And I usually offer to be the gifter for a winner too. She doesn't always ask though, so I don't think she does it every time.
This year though, she did ask for donations - and she posted in our Speedy thread to PM her with our wish lish link and email address...
I think it's really nice to have a gift for the winners.
