Here is your next task!

Task 12 - 9. Each player reads a book in the same series, teams decide. No pass for this task.

As a team, select a series listed on GR and everyone reads a book in that series. (Does not have to be a numbered series.) Please include the selected series in your completion posts. Teammates can read the same or different books for this task. No pass for this task.

message 257: by Caipi (new)

Caipi (bookaholic17) | 1377 comments I'm okay with V&V or Unicorn omegas.
Men from manhatton are the first books too short and Amanda's Forbidden Desires got already ruled out, right?


message 258: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4062 comments There's also this newish series with each book written by a different author so standalones (would just have to make sure page counts are good as I'm pretty sure they're all fairly short)

message 262: by Trio (new)

Trio | 2794 comments I was so sad at first that I missed out on signing up for Wheel, but when I got sick and totally overwhelmed, I was glad. Ah well.

Yes, V&V is fine - you guys can always pick if I don't check in early enough - I spent the whole day reading my final Monsters book.

Booklover by J.E. Birk
250 pages
How it Fits: Vino & Veritas series
Read: 11 Nov
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: This was a surprisingly complex and enjoyable story. I liked all the family drama. There's tons of college guy sex, of course, but the friendships built were well done.

The audio is nicely performed by Tim Page and Cooper North.

Trio | 2794 comments oh, are we set on the Vino & Veritas series? Booklover works for Turf and that Taylor Swift challenge too, so winner! Before I borrow it on Hoopla, though, I thought I'd better check.

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4062 comments I believe so!

I think I saw your comment before you added the book name. I have not read them! I don’t know if I’ve actually seen their name outside of this series

Undercover (Vino & Veritas, #4) by Eliot Grayson
Undercover by Eliot Grayson
200 Pages
How it qualifies: #4 in selected series
Date Read: 11/10
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: Eliot delivered as she always does with humor and snark, but also a great plot like and a wonderful romance. I really don’t think anyone does the grumpy one and the sunshine one quite like Grayson and I just adored the MCs this time around. The steam is slow to build, which absolutely makes sense with the storyline, but once it’s there it’s definitely fire. There’s a sense of β€œoh no, when’s it going to go wrong” but luckily Grayson saves the day and delivers a very satisfying HEA by the end.

Dragon's Mate (Irresistible Dragons #1) by Nora Phoenix
Dragon's Mate by Nora Phoenix
332 Pages
How it qualifies: Irresistible Dragons 1
Date Read: 11/16
Rating: 3 Stars
Review: This author is super hit or miss for me and this one was more of a miss. Very cheesy, not much development, and too many names thrown out in the beginning. There is a character list, but I don't like having to keep flipping back to it while reading.
