I plan on finishing mine either tonight or tomorrow morning. I had a super busy weekend and got a late start on it.
Heather wrote: "Thats 8 books! Don't we get a special rose for that? (Im still not 100% on all the rules)"
I just asked this in the Q&A thread. I'm still a bit confused about the rules as well.
The extra rose for this week has already been claimed. We just need 4 books read and to be the first ones to check in with our 4 books to get the rose for the week. From the rules:
Roses are earned by:
🌹 The first rose per team is earned for reading 4 books fitting the task during the date.
Bonus roses may be earned by:
🌹 The team that finishes 4 books and posts in the Q&A/Announcement thread first wins a bonus rose. Note, posting is required to earn this rose.
🌹 Teams with each member completing the task (with a minimum of 6 books read) earn an additional rose.
🌹 Teams finishing 8+ books during the date win an additional rose.
To help clarify - there are four roses available for each team per date. One is only earned by one team, the first to finish four books. The others are earned by 1. finishing four books, 2. every team member completing the task (6 books minimum) and 3. finishing 8 or more books.So every team has the opportunity to earn up to three roses, but only one can earn four.

His family makes one thing clear: they want her out of his life, but they want the babies!

No worries Mary-Megan. You only need to read 1 per week and you're not even close to being late or anything. :)

Qualification: Roarke owns nearly half the known world

Rating: ★..."
Regarding Roarke, you know that and I know that, but rules say it has to be in the précis or tagged/shelved to fit. So could you change this to say that the book is tagged billionaire - thanks!
Hi everybody since I finished my 8 books is that right or do I need to read more for us to qualify?
Sexyladi wrote: "Hi everybody since I finished my 8 books is that right or do I need to read more for us to qualify?"I think it's 8 books for the entire team, not just one person, so you did all of the hard work for us.

How book qualified, with links or cover as necessary: in the précis it says: a billionaire bad boy with his own secrets and Hunter Blackwell: Only his bank account is bigger than his ruthless ability to obtain anything he wants.
Dated Completed with Rating: 12/19 ⭐⭐⭐ (that’s average for me - I enjoyed the book and am sad that it’s the end of the series)
Mary-Megan wrote: "Sexyladi wrote: "Hi everybody since I finished my 8 books is that right or do I need to read more for us to qualify?"I think it's 8 books for the entire team, not just one person, so you did all ..."
Yes, I think Mary-Megan is right. Plus, I think the minimum is 8 books. We don't get extra roses for more than 8 books all together. If that makes any sense.
I am bit confused I thought this was a team challenge so it shouldn't matter who finished the books only that we qualify with the numbers?
Sexyladi wrote: "I am bit confused I thought this was a team challenge so it shouldn't matter who finished the books only that we qualify with the numbers?"You're right that for the eight books rose or even the four books rose it doesn't matter who does it- just that we get the numbers. There is a third rose, though, that is for everyone on the team finishing. I think we've all finished, now, so we'll get all three roses.
Sexyladi wrote: "I am bit confused I thought this was a team challenge so it shouldn't matter who finished the books only that we qualify with the numbers?"There are different ways to earn roses. The first rose is earned by finishing 4 books as a team, read by any combination of members. You can earn a bonus rose for finishing those 4 books before any other team. Another way to earn a bonus rose is to have every team member complete the date task by finishing at least one book. The last way to earn a bonus rose is to finish 8 books as a team, doesn't matter who reads them.
Okay thanks that clears it up for me so we do get three roses.. I just wanted to help my teammates.
I got another book done and was going to post it, but I missed the time and we don't really need it. I was just proud that I got another book in this week and it fit the theme :D I can't wait for the next theme!
Date 2 - A - Visiting the FamilyA is for Another
Read a book in a series longer than a trilogy (at least 4 books). This must be 4 primary books, you can read any book in the series including novellas if they are 90+ pages.
Remember books must be 90 pages and MPG romance!!
You have until Friday, January 4 @ Midnight US EST to post your completion(s).
Please ensure that your completion post conforms to message #2 of your team thread.
Date 1 status.I hate to be the bearer of bad news - I really, really hate it! You only earned 1 rose for date 1. None of Sexyladi's books were MPG romance and I cannot make any exceptions there. I have already disqualified books on other teams for the same reason. The only exception I can make is that she is not going to be put down as not completing the task, but it doesn't count towards the entire team finishing. I'm sorry, but that is really all I can do. ☹️
Gah, I feel like the Grinch!
Mk all my books were tagged interracial / multicultural romance and fit the profile for the books qualifications
Mk, am I going to the wrong page for Main page gender.

Sexyladi wrote: "Mk, am I going to the wrong page for Main page gender."MPG just stands for Main Page and all of our books have to have "Romance" on the book's main page. Does that make sense?
Sexyladi wrote: "Mk all my books were tagged interracial / multicultural romance and fit the profile for the books qualifications"The main page genre is when you look up a book on the side it has the genre that people have tagged it as. I've used Shannon's book from above as an example.
The ones you read last week don't have anything on the side of the page. Every book we read for this challenge has to be tagged as Romance on that page like above. Hope that makes sense. I'm terrible at explaining things.
Not really i am still confused and dont want to make the same mistake.
Sexyladi wrote: "Not really i am still confused and dont want to make the same mistake."This book that you just read is tagged as Romance
Where as this book that you are currently reading is not tagged as Romance, therefore it would not qualify for this challenge.
And this is one of the books you read for the challenge last week and it isn't tagged at all.
What device do you use to get on here? I know on my phone I can't see the main page genre.
My kindle and one of the books in katie dowe members from money
was tagged cultural so i assumed that was okay and read the rest of the series because this one was tagged but i didnt understand will do better this time.

This one won't count. It doesn't have romance on the main page. If it would help you, you can post the books you want to read here and we can tell you if they'll work??
Thank you Jamie and Shannon for helping - your images are better than I could do!Please ask if you can't see the main book page, I know I will help, as will your team! Even ask in the Q&A thread, someone will jump in and help - this group is super helpful that way. Just post a list of options and we can check for you!
