Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Duration: June 1- October 31
Objective: Participants can choose books to read that spell out the words DANGEROUS or I LOVE BAD BOYS, and are thematically related to this group (ie. Bad boy/dangerous heroes).

For example: B=Born of Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon (hero is an assassin).

If you are interested, please sign up when you get a chance. However, you can't start until June 1st. If you start reading the book after June 1st, overlap is allowed with the Prove Your Love for the Bad Boys Challenge. The books can be rereads. A maximum of three non-romance novels are allowed.

Edited to add: It's preferable to use the first word of the Book title as a letter, but if you must, you can use the author's last name.

I'm in. Just one question, can we only use the book titles for the letters or can we use the authors name as well?

Hmm. Try to use the book title, but if you must, you can use the author's last name. How does that sound?

Sounds like fun but I can't commit until I look and see if I can come up with the books to spell out what's needed! So it's a big MAYBE right now. Clever game tho!

Oh I'd love to participate, but under the gun with writing projects. But sounds like so much fun. Waagh!

Good luck on your writing projects, LaVerne. We'll have more challenges in the future, so hopefully you'll be able to join then.

Count on it!

If I participate, it'll probably be after June 1st. I might just catch the next challenge. I'll be busy with the other challenge and writing.

Okay. That's when it starts, so you're good, Arch.

Okay Danielle, but if I do it, I'll probably want start until the end of June. I have to finish Trespassing and at least read two more books to the other challenge.

Ok, I think I figured this list out. I have to say it was harder than I thought, that dang letter "G". Some of these are new releases by authors I haven't read but I think they will have the elements we are looking for.

D ~ Dark Embers by Tessa Adams
A ~ Alpha by Rachel Vincent
N ~ Nauti and Wild by Lora Leigh
G ~ A Gentle Rain by Deborah Smith
E ~ Elizabeth's Wolf (Breeds, #4) by Lora Leigh
R ~ Red Hot Fury by Kasey MacKenzie
O ~ Open Season by Linda Howard
U ~ Undead and Unfinished by MaryJanice Davidson
S ~ Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich

Dang, Darcy! You are awesome! The good news is you can use the author's last name if you really get stumped.

Arch, start whenever you can. That's why I like having months to do the challenge.

Darcy, if you read Suzanne Brockmann's books. Just read Gone Too Far again. That can be your G book.

I may change then.

Arch wrote "Darcy, if you read Suzanne Brockmann's books. Just read Gone Too Far again. That can be your G book.

I thought about that one, but I don't read her (yet) and that is book #6, so I would have to read 1-5 first (because I can't read out of order) and I didn't want to commit if I couldn't get to it. But thanks!

I was surprised how easy "E" was, I could have done 4 or 5 E's.

That is surprising. I may hit you up for some E's, if I run into trouble, Darcy.

Wow! Nice work!!!

I'm off to go search my books and see if I can up with something! This looks sooo good, great idea Danielle!

Glad you like, Ally!

Darcy,

If you don't have a book that starts with a G, then use an author with the last name that starts with a G.

I'll try it. ^^

No problem, if anyone needs "E" let me know.

If people run into trouble with the U, we'll come up with something.

Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "If people run into trouble with the U, we'll come up with something."

That one isn't so bad, all you would have to do is undead and you will get lots of options in your search. Or try any other "U" word. That is what I did with G was try to think of words that began with G and then searched them.

Good idea, Darcy. I was just thinking more of the non-PNR people. Actually, I think there are quite a few books that have titles that start with 'U'.

I think Undone would be good word to look up.

Undercover, as well, Unbreak. Unbroken, Under.

I'll do it too!

OK You agreed that it could use the Authors name can it be any FIRST letter from any of the words in the title of the book other than the obvious A The ??

No, it has to be from the first word of the title. For instance:

D=Dance With the Devil, not Embraced by Darkness.
Does that make sense?

Yup Got it

This looks like fun.. But gonna have to pass till the next one.. Was gonna see if I could work it in with my own personal challenge but just not seeing it.

Okay, these are the books so far that I'm thinking about doing for Dangerous. Some alphabets I can't fill right now.

D - Dark of Night by Suzanne Brockamann (Reread)
a - All The Queen's Men by Linda Howard (Reread)
n - (blank for now)
g - Gone Too Far by Suzanne Brockmann (Reread)
e - (blank for now)
r- (blank for now)
o - Over The Edge by Suzanne Brockmann (Reread)
u - (blank for now)
s - Saving Grace by Julie Garwood

Lynn, I like your idea, but it has to be DANGEROUS or I LOVE BAD BOYS spelled out.

Does that make sense?

Archer, maybe the next one.

Arch, you're off to a good start. :)

Even though I LOVE BAD BOYS is longer, it might be easier. And you'd only have to read 3 books a month to finish it.

Ok one more time.. The rules are?

Has to come from the first word of the title? And you mentioned something about the Author's name?

BOOOO!!!! I will repost my books later, with one of the two correct words. LOL!!

I'm in. I even found books with hot manly covers.

And ew. I didn't mean to have so many re-reads. I may have to revamp this one a bit.. Nightkeepers started out as a new one but it was eyeballing me and looking oh-so-tempting so I gave in and read it (and am now halfway through Book Three in the series, dangit)..
