Loki, a God hidden away in a cave for over 8 centuries has consorts he has kidnapped to live with him for weeks. Nora, his latest consort, was kidnapped while on vacation turns out to be feister than all of this others. The angst build up is amazing, great detail and descriptions (at times a little too much) with a great story line! Highly recommend if you enjoy the enemy to lovers.

I’ll pick C

I'll update as we pick :)

I will take A please. It took me forever to find a book that has both words in the text. I kept finding camper or camping but not camp. Finally found one

Actually I can do A or P. Found another book. Let me know which one to take guys.

Dale… I’ll take M if that’s ok with you.

Dale you pick next and I will take whatever is left. This book is on your TBR list and has camp and peace in the text if you are interested.
Organized Chaos

I guess I will doing P and Dale will be doing A.

Vicky how can you tell in advance if a book already has those words in it?

An advantage of reading an ebook is that it is searchable.

Amazon has a helpful feature:

Be sure to click on the paper version. You cannot search the Kindle ebook. Your teammates may be able to help you look for words in a particular book.

I have been mostly checking books that I own and opening and doing a search from them as there is a magnifying glass on the top of the page. I didn’t know about this feature that Lanelle just gave us. That will be helpful for other books though.

I tried the look inside but how do you search for a word? I can’t figure out that part?
Thanks Lanelle!

List has been updated above. Please let me know if you all need to change something.

Review:
This book came recommended from a reading group and added it to my list as a soft read in between those darker ones. It was a good read! Quick, fast paced and a good love story. Zade really loved his Willow as she did love him as well. It just took them a while to figure it out. Started as a ruse and turned into something real!

Bonus Items and Points:
Camp: “out to the island and camp…” p. 76
Peace: “like she was contemplating world peace…” p. 144

Total: P=3; 3 + 2 = 5 points

I'll take Q... I need it for the alphabet.

Do you all know if it's pancake... does pancakes count?
