Vera,

I saw your books log for May and saw you have Elsie Silver (yaay), Lisa Kleypas (we need to talk about her books cos yeah ) and Liz Tomforde. Also saw that you finished Lauren Asher's series, was planning on reading the first one and then buddy reading the second with you!

Lisa Kleypas 🤌🏽 — she’s really good when it comes to historical fiction.

I have the last book in Liz Tomforde’s series pending If you haven’t finished it yet, we can totally buddy read it!
I’m also going to check out your recommendations for Elsie Silver She’s surprisingly good!

@b: Arre!! I didn’t know, varna I would’ve buddy read it with you! I don’t mind reading it a second time with you (I won’t be entering it in the log though.)

Miss Shibani had a lot of thrillers listed in her log, so I’m planning to give them all a try 🙂‍↕️
Of course, I’m also planning to read a lot of LGBTQ+ books!

I just finished Rewind it back (Liz Tomforde) in May.

Yeah, Lisa Kleypas' contemporary series is good too. Though her Wallflowers and Ravenels and Hathaways are top tier HRs. (I like some more than others though)

Team captains -

I'm tallying the final page logs for all participants from the excel sheet.

Could you please confirm tallies for those who have not entered their logs in the sheet?

And add them to the sheet against their names - that way the final team logs will be updated as well.

Thanks!

Done, Lizzie.

Yeah I remember talking about Lauren Asher, and we had (sort of) agreed that we'll read the second one together. But that's totally okay!

Hi Deepu! Hope you’ve been well. Do you want to join this month?

Hello. I've been well behaved for the most parts. Hoping you are doing well.

So basically just reading book(s) and logging each book's details after finishing, right?

Sure, sounds fun.

Hit me up if you have any questions but for now I’m putting you in Chroma Crew. Find the thread and res a post in the team thread.

We also have a separate Pride Prose challenge - so if you are reading any LGBTQ+ themed books, make sure you mention them in the Pride Prose Reviews thread too.

Do make sure you read the first post to understand how it all works.

Yes just read at your own pace and read whatever you want to. Just that you’ll be keeping a log of what you read too.

Hi. Book count 1-5 (which will be just 1 most likely) 🙈

I have reserved the spot on the thread. I'll update the spreadsheet a bit later.

Thank you for the badge. It's very nice 💙.
