So, when I saw the Ripped Bodice's summer reading bingo, I loved it. And yeah, I know it's fall now. I made a goal to try for not just bingo but almost every square. I was not quite there. Some of these I assume I wouldn't have to try hard for. Some are like impossible to search for so you just hope for the best. And some books, I did not finish in time. But here is my card. And here are the books.
Sight Unseen - Character on the Run, Anthology, Non-Regency Set-Historical, Elaborate Proposal Scene, Heroine smells like food item.
Some Kind of Hero; The SEAL's Rebel Librarian - Character in uniform on cover
Small Change - Food described in delicious detail (I stopped looking for this after this one, but I could have gotten this square many, many times.)
Far From Home - Heroine named Rachel, Queer NA ish. beach read. geek/nerd elements, Asexual (new to me subgenre)
Rogue Desire - Rogue in the Title (This also would have worked for anthology, queer NA.)
Rancher's Surrender - Heroine inherits a business
Hard Wired - Broke AF hero.
Also in progress were Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (Queer YA/NA), First to Burn (Viking), Forged in Desire (which I did finish but not before the deadline and was planning to count for conversation would have solved the conflict even though it's a romantic suspense because the hero and heroine needed a communication class). I don't know how I managed to get through that many books without anyone smelling like pine or sandalwood, but kudos to the authors I read this summer who avoided that. And yeah, I failed on reading dragons this summer which would have taken care of some more.
Regardless it was a really fun challenge.
