[Marla]

This wouldn't be so difficult except several books of mine that fit are not paranormal.

I'm still trudging along...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

😬 You can use up to 3 non-paranormal books, if that helps.

Steph wrote: "😬 You can use up to 3 non-paranormal books, if that helps."

It did, but I already used all 3. It seems I'm not reading as many PNR as I have previously. I go through phases, but I didn't even realize I was reading more mystery/thriller or romance and less paranormal. It used to be about even.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

👍🏼 Yeah, I get it.
