Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

Is there a series you would like to read or re-read with other members of "Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired" group?

Tell us your suggestions, certainly something you would read yourself. There will NOT be a poll for the general public, only those of you responding in this thread. One or two series will be chosen for our next series read. We will be reading one book from that series each month starting in January.

It may be from any genre, with three or more published books.

FYI: We Mods decided, due to lack of interest, not to continue the two Series Reads: Highland Guard and The De Piaget & The MacLeods.

Nominations

• Black Knights Inc., by Julie Ann Walker
• Lucky Harbor, by Jill Shalvis
• Magnus Pack, by Shelly Laurenston
• Moonlight, by Nancy Gideon
• Thunder Point, by Robyn Carr
• Weather Warden, by Rachel Caine
• World of the Lupi, by Eileen Wilks

Thanks, D.G.! Looks good.

Added it, D.G.

How about the Moonlight series by Nancy Gideon?

Thanks for weighing in, Elizabeth. ☺

I'm interested in Moonlight, and Thunder Point, and I'd be willing to try Weather Warden... might be more fun with as a "buddy read." Of course, they all would.

I'm interested in most if not all of them! ;)

:o)

I'm interested in Magnus Pack and Weather Warden. I might try Thunder Point if it doesn't have all the ob/gyn stuff that ruined Virgin River for me.

Thanks for weighing in, Gisela. ☺

I have all of those in my TBR (except the Robyn Carr one which I've already read half of). Looking forward to them!

Sooooooo... any other noms... should we put this to the vote? We plan on just voting in this thread, so those interested need to weigh in.

(Edited to change nomination!)
Somehow, I've been missing the announcements on this thread! I'm going to nominate Lucky Harbor, starting with Simply Irresistible, as I'm needing some extra motivation to actually read the series!

As for what is already nominated, I'd be interested in the Black Knights series for certain, but I'd avoid the Weather Wardens. After book 3-4, the series took a downturn for me. I haven't heard of the other series though!

Do we just put down our choices in order of preference? If so, mine are:

1. Moonlight by Nancy Gideon
2. World of the Lupi by Eileen Wilks
3. Black Nights Inc. by Julie Ann Walker

My preferences are :


1. Black Knights Inc., by Julie Ann Walker
2. Magnus Pack, by Shelly Laurenston
3. Thunder Point, by Robyn Carr

My choices:
1) Moonlight, by Nancy Gideon
2) Dirk and Steele by Marjorie Liu (Hi-five Trea)
3) Thunder Point, by Robyn Carr

Added Lucky Harbor, Trea. However, I'm betting most people have read it.

How about this for voting?



Please put your desired series to read in order! We'll go by points and they will be "weighted" by order, with first carrying the most "weight." Eight points for the book you post first, 7 points for the next, etc.

I've put the spreadsheet with voting tally so far is HERE! But, I'll be glad to change, add or subtract things. Just let me know.

Here's my order...

1. World of the Lupi, by Eileen Wilks
2. Moonlight, by Nancy Gideon
3. Weather Warden, by Rachel Caine

Thanks, D.G.! Updated you.

Here's my order:
1. Black Knights, Inc
2. Lucky Harbor
3. Dirk and Steele
4. Thunder Point
5. World of the Lupi
6. Moonlight
7. Magnus Pack
8. Weather Warden

Thanks, Trea! Updated your votes.

Updated your votes, Christina T.

FYI, how do you all feel about dropping a series if there has been no activity in the thread after two or three months? More activity than just, "Hey, I thought it was great." Then we go to the next one on the list.

I actually agree with the idea, Winter. I'm in a couple of Christian Fiction groups that do a group read of a book that the members nominate monthly. Now, most of these books have discussion questions, and yet we never discuss the books in depth! All most folks do is their impressions of the book, more so than anything else. I've gotten spoiled by a buddy read of the I-Team and Dream Man series that I've done in the past. My partners in that post as they go as to what they're thinking about the books. I'm not asking that we do discussion questions on the series reads like I've seen happen in this group in the past, but I would like to see us do a discussion like what I've done on the I-Team/Dream Man books.

Moonlight is winning, Yippieeeeee!
Too bad it's not on audio

Thanks for weighing in, Trea.

don't worry Trea, I followed you here and we will have fun on the series.

Can we have more than one series win?

I understood that we are going with the top two. Is that right, Elf?

Lauren wrote: "I understood that we are going with the top two. Is that right, Elf?"

Yup! Top two for sure. And maybe the third one alternating every other month? What do you think of that?

Ooh, I like that idea!

*grins* I knew you'd get what I meant, Ezi! Like I said, those series reads we did have really set the bar for me in group reads!

does that weather warden book have love in it? I must have love in my books

Ezinwanyi~the Troublemaker wrote: "does that weather warden book have love in it? I must have love in my books"

Yes, for the first few books that I read. I found it similar to Gin Blanco type of romance. It is by no means the main focus of the story, which (to me, at least) is a hallmark of the UF genre.

1. Moonlight, by Nancy Gideon
2. Dirk and Steele by Marjorie Liu
3. Thunder Point, by Robyn Carr
4. Magnus Pack by Shelly Laurenston
5. Weather Warden by Rachel Caine
6. Black Knights, Inc
7. Lucky Harbor by Jill Shalvis (been reading recently)
8. World of the Lupi by Eileen Wilks (only because I've been reading them this month)

Included your votes, ✼Danielle✼.

1. Moonlight
2. Lucky harbour
3. Black Knights
4. Dirk and Steele
5. Magnus Pack
