Here is your next task!Task 8 - 51. Each teammate reads a different book by the same author, no pass for this task.
As a team select an author and everyone read a different book by the author. Make sure you don't select the same books!
Here's the books/authors I have planned coming up in case there's any overlap (but obviously open to any decision, just thought if 2 of us have any overlap that would make the choice the easiest!Marked by Death by Kaje Harper

We don't want to torture you, Janeylou! 😂When you just posted I was about to write that I can read Powered by Ghosts, or maybe better Marked by Death again because I do not really remember. Might be good for the Halloween bonus of the Italy challenge....

You're ok Caipi, ive found somewhere to add it into Italy
If it makes you feel better I don’t like her either lol. The first one in the series I’m gonna read was surprisingly okay though. And don’t forget we all have to do a different book, so make sure to post what you’re reading. I’ll be doing Ghost of Truth

Ghost of Truth by Alice Winters
338 Pages
How it qualifies: Written by Alice Winters
Date Read: 10/25
Rating: 3 stars
Review: It's no secret that I'm not really a fan of Winters's work, but I actually enjoyed the first one and always enjoy GB's narration. This one didn't work quite as well for me and that's because it had more of Winters's trademark humor poking through, and for me it's not really funny and always feels forced. The plot and the characters were still great, I just wish that it could be without this specific humor. (Obviously a me thing, Winters has a huge fan base so it really does depend on what type of sense of humor you have.)

A Villain for Christmas by Alice Winters
337 pages
How it Fits: author Alice Winters
Read: 28 Oct
Rating: 3 stars
Review: I'm glad I gave this one a chance because I enjoyed Michael Lesley's performance in the audio edition of Alice Winters' A Villain for Christmas.
Unfortunately the story was a bit tiresome for me. Lots of potty humor, and uninspired jokes.

Review: All in all an enjoyable sports romance. The traditional chestnut of the veteran player and the rookie. Tons and tons of sex - a tad too much for me. I could have done with some great soccer scenes as well. Sadly there were none.

I've read them all once and am super sad that he's taking a break because it's highly addictive! I'm gonna keep reading them over the next 2 weeks for those Y's for wheel. Although last week would've been better since there's a Z as well
