Thanks! :-)

Book: Rocky Mountain Heat by Vivian Arend

Date Read: 21st June
Pages: 224
Top Shelf: no
Letters:
C - character: Blake Coleman

And we're all checked in for the first week!!

Well read, everyone! :-D


****

Just for your information, I added a note to explain why Emma's books aren't on her wat/read shelf yet - she suffered from the same glitch it seems that Tea suffered from with the read date and since GR has also been acting up for Sammy.... Seems like we're the only team today though (so far anyway) that has had GR being a pain haha. Ah well :-)

Sadly, I didn't manage to finish my third book, but I saw that one coming anyway. Work's just been too busy today to leave me a lot of reading time haha.

I'll finish up the remaining 50 pages tomorrow and then I'll dive into my LGBT book.

Sorry!! I posted my books and went to sleep as it was bedtime here, so didn’t see the posts about my read/WaT shelf until I woke this morning. I definitely marked them as read last night, so not sure what happened there.

It's weird, because I never had problems with GR like this before. Hopefully they're just having a wobbly server today or something and will be back to normal asap! :)

FINALLY!
I've never read a book where the characters go to the loo and eat so much! As for plot. HA!
1 star, not recommending it to anyone, and giving it the honour of being the first book to be deleted from my kindle.

BOM Discussion: lots, here is the last post:

and some more:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

For this week I will also finish the Becky Albernatti BOM (hopefully this weekend ; I'm not enjoying it so much) and I've started:

Muse of Nightmares.
I've decided to try and tackle books around the 500 page mark as it is much better points wise than 2 books at around 300 pages. Plus I have quite a few of them lying around .
Works for:
N: character Thyon Nero
A: character Azareen
M: Title
Genre: LGBT 33 tags ; second column of main shelves

My second book for this week will be The Master by Kresley Cole

Will work for M or C

Looks like we will be looking for lots of "N"'s this week.

I'll be finishing our Back Room BOM and this one so far..

Congrats Sammy on your RSU challenge win! 🥳

Thanks :)

Wasn't as much hard work this time as last time. Very few people were reading a similar amount of books, lol.

Still a good win!
(Maybe the summer over there has an impact and people read less than they did in winter ?)

You never know... Although we for one have had an utterly miserable spring. :(
It's been summer all of two days now, and it's actually been dry here for both of them so far! A minor miracle, lol..

No worries! Figured it was GR acting up once I stalked your page a little bit haha. And after Tea had the same issue of a read date not popping up, so.. all good! :-)

We're going to stay in Patong and then do day trips to Karon and Kata beaches. But we might not, because there's forecast for thunderstorm weather for that week unfortunately.

It's not been too bad, since I started on Wednesday, lol. A good thing too, as we got a surprise house guest today who is staying until Friday. Gonna be a struggle to read much until then :(

I'll keep my fingers crossed you'll get a bit of reading time after all :-)

Surprise guests are fun, but can also be a bit of a nuisance at times hehe. When it comes to reading anyway ;-)

Yeah, especially for those of us who need complete silence to read, lol.

But guest and hubby took themselves away to the pub for a couple of hours, and I'm getting close to the end of the book now :)
