I'm in, but I'm not sure how this works :D...
EDIT:I am picking flirt as well. If I read more, then it's even better :)

pick as many or as little categories as you want. that's how i work it out to be.
so i pick cat 1 and 9 and i'm doing the extra(second in the series for feb)
so that will leave me in the flirt area of reading. tee hee

Your such a flirt :-) both you.

Aly just pick whatever categories you want to do. If you want to repeat a category, you can do that once, the extra. Otherwise one category per book.

I'm going for Rake. Maybe Lover.

Well I could have put an extra for any book with the level names in the title but that would be on the side of pure romance. Maybe I should add it anyway?

why not!
oh and I'm only a flirt when there is books involved!

I have a few authors I have to review, so I will see if I can participate based on those books.

Read-1. Hearts, Cards, Flowers(name of a flower), Candies, gift- read a book with an important/significant gift, or one of these words in the title or pictured on the cover.


Read-2. Invention of the printing press, read a book, audio books don't count here, preferably a physical book.


Read-3. Amethyst – read a book with purple of the cover


Read-4. Read a second in the series since February is the second month.

Can I start today?

Sure, February is a short month. I actually extended the widget to include a couple extra days from January.

Cool! Thanks
EDIT: Another Q, do re-reads count?

As longs as you read the whole book. A true read. Three of my favorite books are romances. So re-reads are good for this one

It's part of the Shifter Romance Box Set, but I can't find it seperately.

I got them all done, which I wasn't expecting.

@Missyb
or which is a 2013 repub of from 2009. When you go to add book/author and then enter "Beared to You Taylor" (adding the author wheedles down any other books) it brings up Mark of the Beast. Under the add button there is an other editions link. That's where you find it.

Crazy re-released under new names to make them less erotic. :-) How was that for you? Like your books.
