Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

August 2011 Challenge – It’s hot, hot, hot!

Rules: 4 books that look hot (or it takes place when/where it’s warm) for the sweltering summer month of August. This could mean a sun on the cover, or a steamy man/woman scene on the cover, or a man on the cover that looks “hot” etc. And of course 1 book of your choice for a total of 5 books. There are 5 books in a challenge during the summer months. Have fun with this one!

Duration: August 1-31st

I'm in!

I've never done a challenge before, but I think I could do this. So, I'm in :)

I'm in! I'll post what I'll read later.

Welcome to the challenge, Susan!

I'm in too! I'm on the hunt for my steamy picks!
Welcome to the hotbox, Susan!

I'm in :P

Quick question-Can "Hot" be in the title too?

Hi Lisa Kay and Heather! Thanks for the welcome here. Do I need to list my books here before I read them or can I list as I pick and read them?

Count me in again!

Yummy, CaroB! You're going to read !!! Neat. You'll be sure to fill in the "Location, location, location!" challenge. And, man-oh-man, I love the hot cover of !

That's what I'm hoping Lisa :-) I'm seriously behind on some of the other challenges. July has been a slow reading month for me, hoping to make it up in the coming weeks :-)

That is b/c you are whittling away at !

Lisa Kay wrote: "That is b/c you are whittling away at !"

Actually I'm not even whittling away at that as I should be! It's because my mother-in-law is staying with us. She leaves on August 1st, (6 more days!!!) and my reading habits can come out of hiding then :-)

BTW, I have a serious case of cover-envy for your Elizabeth Hoyt book. I've yet to read one of hers, but I'll have to raise it up the priority list, methinks!

I'm in!

P.S.
Props to those reading and re-reading Outlander. It's a major commitment! ;-) Go ladies, go!

you girls are setting the bar high!! Too bad I just read Smokin Seventeen 8-(
