Okay, I’m having a dilemma. The H/h started in the kitchen – and I think they did it there… but then they woke in bed. Hmmmmmmmm. I’m going to count it, as I think some of the critical parts of this encounter occurred in the kitchen.
edited: shower, Pacific Ocean
I'm just going to see how many I can finish. I'm back dating a few days because I can fill the Gazebo & Shower ones in already.Location, location, location! Challenge. Where do the characters in your books make love? If you have found a scene that is anywhere other than a bed, use it for this challenge.
I'm just going to see how many I can fill and aim for all of them w/o buying anything to fill a category.

Mary, the initial goal was 12 non-bed scenes. Some of us have already surpassed the initial 12, so for every 12 we get that moves us into another round. As far as I know, the number of rounds we get really doesn't mean anything. As I have 37 books, I completed 3-12 book rounds. I, along with some others, just wanted to see how many non-bed scenes I could read in a year. =)
Nah. the Rounds don't mean anything anymore. Maybe I should stop. But, I'm a counter.
Okay, set up something different - Cumulative Yearily Totals. In post #3.
That works well too Lisa Kay. Hadn't realised how well Kate had caught up,she's going great!
Yeah, Kate is on a roll!

I just want to point out that the Pacific Ocean mention in Face the Fire was the NORTHERN Pacific Ocean, not the southern... burrr, cold!
Excellent Lisa, it's good to see them all the latest on the same screen :-) Northern Pacific Ocean??? I'm trying very hard to not make shrinkage jokes!
Ah gotcha. I thought it might be something like that since it was still open for people to join. I've read several sex scenes lately and all have been in a bed or shower. Come on people spice it up! I see a lot of books I own marked off for various scenes by other people though.
Yes, Mary, I would have to say the shower is proably the second most common place after the bedroom. At least in the books I read. Reminds me of the show Friends when they were discussing the most unusal place each they made love and Rachel said, "The foot of the bed."

So would sex on a dresser top fall under the desk/credenza or tabletop category?

Mary, I'm actually not going off the list, sorry. I'm just listing all the places that aren't a bed, and trying not to list any duplicates. Just put "dresser top", I don't think anyone would mind.

Heather, I swear I'm going to raise the prediction I made in this post! You are crusing through this... which I'm appreciating, by the way, because most of the listed books are finding their way onto my "to-get" shelf.Given that we're not even 6 months into this, I'm going to say you'll hit 60 AT LEAST!
