June ~ 'Wedding Belles' ~ read a book with a bride on the cover!

This month's challenge is super simple. I look forward to seeing what people will choose to read for it!

(For those who would like to keep track, a thread for all the year's monthly focus challenges can be found here.)

I will be reading Heaven Sent Husband . Though you can't see her face, it is very obvious that there's a 'wedding belle' on the cover!

I'm not sure what I'm reading yet but I'm in!

I'm in

welcome!

I’m in!
I think I’ll read:
The Princess Lori Wick

glad to have you join us!

I don't know that I'll read anything with a bride on the cover, but will give it a go.

Here's one I enjoyed for anyone seeking ideas:

Not sure if I will get to any this month, but will try!

I'm in. I'm planning to read some of the following:
(6/2/24)

Mail Order Brides:


Finish series:


Janice Thompson's wedding series:

I will read a novella with bride on cover since this seems to be outside my wheelhouse. This appears to be a cleaner book than most per reviews for author, so giving her a try.

(Not clean, 7 pages very graphic)

A Chance in Time
By Ruth Ann Nordic

✅ Completed 06/04/2024

I’m in.

This one or , possibly both.

I finished two. and .

loving all the ideas so far!

I doubt anything I am reading this month will have a bride on the cover, so will skip this one.

Pretty sure I will be skipping this month.

that's one of the things that's great about each month's focus . . . if it's not something that 'vibes' with you, you can just skip it and rejoin the next time something catches your eye! 😊

Why I picked a novella that includes something of time travel. I think a spent hours trying to search titles that could have a bride. Tried even to think of war brides that wore uniforms or simple clothes, etc. TBD if the book was a good pick, ask me in a few weeks when I get to it… xo

I’m in.

I'm in! We'll see what happens! ;)

I’m in! I will probably only read one or two and then focus on some other challenges I’m falling behind on.

Finished my first one:
#1 -

good job!

I'm in. I will read

Finished The Convenient groom !

I’m in with at least one read ;)

Marrying Raven
Melanie D. Snitker

Completed the novella today, very quick read, but had to skip over about 7 pages of the 76 page book.

I know you said the book itself is graphic, but would you mind posting the cover?

I thought we could not post books unless fit the criteria for the group. . ??? Let me know and I can delete the post.

as long as you post a content warning, if you've used the book for a challenge, you're ok to post it, but obviously, as a general rule, we prefer our books to be squeaky clean 😉
since you did post a content warning, you're fine . . . and the cover itself isn't offensive, so that's good
(Andrea, and Staci, if my understanding of the guidelines is incorrect, please do let me know!)

(6/5)

well done!

A Wedding in Wild Harbor
By Grace Worthington

Wow! Lots of great finds, everyone!

Hi Kate does it count if the bride on the front is in normal clothes but is a bride during the story?

that's actually a good question, Charlene . . . if you can provide evidence that she does marry in the story itself (like a quote), then I'll give it to you, even if she's in plain clothes on the cover 🙂

I finished my secod book


A December Bride

those 'year of weddings' books are a great fit for this challenge. nicely done!

Thanks Kate!

#1 - Wedding took place in Chapter 30 ( I can’t add quote as I listened to audio)

#2 Wedding took place in Chapter 8 ( I can’t add quote as I listened to audio)

that works, Charlene 🙂
