Finished so far:1.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
2. I read a Clive Cussler novel from the library, but it isn't CF. It was an audio book and the narrator didn't read any bad language, but that is typically in his books, he probably skipped over them. I won't post the link to this one.
The first one was an ebook from Hoopla, the second was an audio book from Libby.
I’m in! I’m going to shoot for level 3 at minimum :)1.-3. I read a series by Kerri Manisalco but they aren't CF. Books 1-3 were clean except for sparse profanity and book 4 took a downward spiral from there.
4. I read a book by Erika Johansen, also not CF and I can't remember if it had profanity or not so I won't link it, just in case.
5. Book by Sarah. J Maas, not CF
