Seducing the Marquess by Callie Hutton Seducing the Marquess by Callie Hutton.

The main character works at the desk in the library at his townhouse in London - he writes in ledgers. Does that count as an office?

Not really, JoAnne. There's a difference between having an office and being an office worker. Sorry.

Well, the HIT Squad defeated the reigning champs. They will go on the play the Indianapolis Colts from Oct. 16 - 31st.

Here are the reading prompts for each team:
HIT Squad - read a book where the title starts with H, I, or T (excluding 'the') or
the author's first or last name starts with H, I, or T

vs.
Indianapolis Colts - read a book where the main character rides a horse

Your book must have been finished after midnight last night (about 7 hours ago)
to count as a point for either team.

JoAnne (joannemwct) | 2511 comments Question - if you read an anthology and one of the novellas begins with H I or T would that count if the book itself was over the 150 pages even though the title of the book doesn't meet the criteria?

It needs to be the title of the book, JoAnne.

Drat! I had it in my head that because one of the words started with H, I, or T that it worked. I'll chalk it up to 'book overload' from last week and go back to the shelf for a new book!
