Extra challenge - try to get as many of the covers as you can to have a summery feel or something you associate with summer or just nice bright covers! The books don't all have to be PNR and UF but do keep at least a few!

I've set this reading challenge up as an event to see if this works!

Ugh, Honeymoon of the Dead was my H book, I started reading it and had to stop at page 52. In the movie 9 1/2 weeks, Mickey Rourke (who was really hot back then!) makes Kim Basinger do a strip tease to "You can leave your hat on" a slow sexy song by Joe Cocker.
Well, in this awful book, the guy strips to "take your hat off"! Right tune, wrong title.
"Honeymoon" is a very bad mishmash of every other PNR book we've ever read, it's like "airplane, the movie". Unintentionally, sadly. sooo, I'm changing my H to Hush, Hush, because I did just get that

Why is it every time I join in these reading challenges I never get added to the list of participants even when I respond to an invite! Feel like the invisible member!

[Kimberley]

I'm sure it isn't on purpose, send a message to the originator or the mods.
Your not invisisable, I read your posts.
