Hey, Nicola, For #6, do we have to stop at twins, or will triplets work? :)
I am okay with multiples of any number. (Clones too if that helps)
Another question for #6 - is the "old favorite" only an old favorite book or can it be an favorite author? Hmmm, I guess that wouldn't necessarily be a reread then. But I'll ask anyway. =)
I would say book - I was looking for a reread. I suppose it could be a reread of a book you liked by your favorite author, even if it wasn't your favorite one of their books, but...
For the birthday do we go by our nickname or name? So would I use herding cats and go with a G birthday or would I use Anna and go with a Z?
Your nickname - as listed on your banner. Will that work for you?
Yep works for me :) Just wanted to check. Thanks!

Thanks, that is what I figured.
There is a short story by Cara North on Amazon called Seeing Double that has twin H and h. It's not listed here on GR for some reason but it's free for Prime Members and only .99 for everyone else. Just thought I would mention it in case anyone needs a twin story, this one looks cute and sexy too.
Another option for twins is Kaylea Cross's Suspense series. Books 2-5 have twins in them. Book 3, No Turning Back, and book 4, Relentless, have one to twins as the hero. Great series, but probably best read in order. I think Relentless was my favorite of them all!
Hi Nicola, can I use for 8. (First Day of Summer - June 21: ) if I have a character named Summer in book?
Hmm - stumped me! You want to use summer as the character rather than part of the setting. I never thought of that when I wrote up the task, but I suppose it could work. Yes - if she is meeting the H for the first time in the book (i.e. First day...)Okay?
Thanks for helping with all the links everyone.

I managed to find a book set in summer that I can fit into my reading tournament list.
Thank you for being so nice (and quick) in your response. :)
