Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

This challenge is a celebration of the number of the month. There will be no levels and no page requirements, and the idea is to mix and match among the prompts for as many as your books will fit. However, a book may only be used for one prompt at a time, not multiple prompts! Duration will be from May 1st to May 31st, 2021.

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. Your sign up post is the post you should keep updated. DO NOT copy your sign up post to announce you are finished with the challenge! Books listed should also have completion dates to count as participating in the challenge! Here are the prompts:

Congrats on finishing! I will ask again that you please not post your list a second time to announce that you've completed your challenge. It is clearly stated in the rules/how tos of the challenge and the reason for not wanting duplicate posts is to reduce clutter in the thread and allow for accurate counts of participants. Thank you for your understanding!

Done on post #4. On to June!
