The May challenge is all about May. If the word "may" is in the title or the author's name has may in it or if you can find the letters M-A-Y somewhere in the title or author's name. Good luck to all!

Thanks, Pamela. I'm in!

OK, I found one I will be reading for RRRC May Challenge that fits here- the letters "M-A-Y" can be found in the title-

A Modern Wicked Fairy Tale: Rapunzel

I'll be reading The letters "M-A-Y" can be found in the author's name, Monica McCarty.

Looks like some great picks! I got to find me one :)

I'm in!

I may add D.A.Y.S. to this...I'll see. For now, this is what I've got:

HEAC – Spell M.A.Y. Challenge

0/3


M. Magic Study,by Maria V. Snyder - buddy read with Sans to start 5/1
A. Assassin Study, by Maria V. Snyder
Y. Yours for the Taking, by Robin Kaye

I found several in my TBRs - I will read at least one of the following:

M-A-Y in the title:
Summer By the Sea
On Mystic Lake
The Swiss Family Robinson

M-A-Y in author's name:
Shall We Dance? by Kasey Michaels
A Seductive Offer by Kathryn Smith
What Isabella Desires by Anne Mallory

Great selections, everyone!

I have two books on the schedule for next month that have M-A-Y in the author's name:
The Secret Pearl by Mary Balogh
Michael's wife by Marlys Millhiser

I'm changing my challenge b/c I found out is just a short story and, after looking at more reviews (and dispite loving the series and owning the book) I don't want to read right now.

HEAC – Spell M.A.Y. D.A.Y.S. with characters from 3 books and 4 short stories; or with the author’s name.

1/3 & 1/4

Good luck, Lisa Kay!

I'm still looking for my book. I have one in mind but I have to read the one before it in the series. Will try and start it tomorrow. Anyway, my book may be In Harm's Way by Irene Hannon. I read the 1st book in series and liked it.

Wow! Pamela, that one sounds really good. I may have to check out that series. I've never heard of this author.

She is a christian author but not too preachy in my opinion. I love a good hot and steamy scene but you won't find them in her books but you don't really miss em either because she writes a good tale.

I saw she had a downloadable "Love Inspired" book from my library. I do read that line occassionally. I read it all - as long as it is HEA! :)

I finished one of my two books, . What an awesome emotional story!

ILL has really been dragging their feet this month. I'm still not sure if the other one is going to get here in time. I'll cross my fingers.:-)

I finished - a touching, emotional, and of course hot (it is Selena Kitt) short story- I loved it!

I finished mine In Harm's Way by Irene Hannon. Very good.

I finished Summer By the Sea by Susan Wiggs. It was good, but not a keeper. I did like the way she melded past & present events so that we were able to understand past actions.
