🌹Theme - Book Boyfriends🌹

Information required when posting your completion/s:

Date Task
Book/cover link
Page numbers
How book qualified, with links or cover as necessary.
Dated Completed with Rating.
If this is your second (or more) book for the task, also include that information.

Please include only this information. A small review may be included if desired, but is not required. No other discussion allowed though.

Although you will not need to make selection posts like in the PtP, your teammates might like ideas for what to read so sharing what you're reading could be very helpful. If you have any question if your book qualifies, it would be better to find out before you read it - ask your teammates or in the Q&A/Announcement thread.

Books must be 90 pages and MPG (Main Page Genre) Romance. Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance or similar is acceptable, but it must be romance. Audiobooks and rereads are ok. Books can only be read once per person during the challenge even if it fits multiple categories. The same book can be read by teammates though. Once the task for the date is announced, you may not tag a book so that it fits or edit any lists - this must be done before the date begins.

🌹Theme - Book Boyfriends🌹

The dates will begin on Saturdays at 6 PM EST, at that time the task for each date will be announced. Books must be completed and posted by the following Friday at Midnight EST, except when 'Visiting the Family' when you will have until the second Friday. Roses will be awarded before the next date begins. Each date we will be working towards spelling out B-A-C-H-E-L-O-R. The potential tasks for each letter will be posted in advance, but you will not know which task will be used until the date begins.

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.

Teams will not be eliminated even if they earn no roses, they will have a chance to catch up by earning additional roses on other dates. Players will be eliminated if they do not complete the task on two consecutive dates. Eliminated players will not be replaced. Remember, players are allowed to read multiple books for a given date in order to earn bonuses and/or to make up for teammates who do not read their book or who have been eliminated.

Captains, please reserve a few spaces for tracking.

Introduce yourselves to your teammates. Let then know where you are from, what your interests are in life and in books! Consider friending each other, that makes it easier to follow the goings on.

Your first task as a team is to come up with a team name. The theme if 'Book Boyfriend' and your team name should relate to that. Captains, please PM me your team name when you have decided.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I will be tracking each team's completions and using the captains' tracking to confirm before awarding roses at the end of each date.

[Taya]

Hello Teammates!
I'm Taya from the US on EST timezone. I'm currently only read MM for the last few years I rarely read mf anymore. Besides reading you can usually find me watching kdramas or playing in my planner. I love the contemporary genre. Enemy to lovers theme books.

So please introduce yourself and suggestions for possible team names.

[Jodi]

Hi Team!

I am from Ohio, EST timezone too. I mostly read contemporary and YA romances. Sport themed romances are my fave.

[Grace]

Hi Team!
I'm Grace and I'm from Southern California. I read all types of romance and usually bounce around from genre to genre so I don't get stuck

For team names all I have is:
The Happily Ever Afterers

I'll try to think of some more.

[Pam from Ohio]

Hi Team,

Another Ohio native here EST timezone. I love to read but stay away from paranormal and serial killers. My favorite are the billionaire romances.

[Scarlett]

Hey everyone - I’m in NC — originally from the beach but have slowly migrated into the middle of the state.

I read all kinds of romances; I’ll go through spurts where I focus on one particular kind but will move on after a few weeks.

I am not really creative when it comes to things like team names but I’ll try to think of something. I really like the Happily Ever Afterers though :)

[Taya]

Welcome Teammates. Added Happily Ever Afterers to the list. I'm throwing in Thank You, Next to list

[Cold]

Page #s : 250
How qualifies : tagged ‘billionaire’ by 7 people, series is ‘Undercover Billionaire’
Date completed : 12/17
Rating : 3.5 stars
— I would’ve probably bumped it to 4 stars but I could not connect with or properly appreciate the heroine. She spent too much of her time in the past, holding grudges, & running from the Hero. Still enjoyable - I’ve really enjoyed several of Melody Anne’s books in the past so I am a fan of her writing but this one just didn’t get up there for me. I will definitely add the next one to my TBR because I love a good billionaire romance :)

[Taya]

Hi Team! I hope everyone had a good week. I have my book picked out (I'm going to read Love at First Roar) and will hopefully be finished tomorrow (I was side tracked this afternoon by baking cookies).

[Cold]

Somebody please confirm if the following book qualifies ??
Can't Stop Believing by Jodi Thomas

[Scarlett]

Sapphire wrote: "Somebody please confirm if the following book qualifies ??

I think it fits fine? - if it’s book #6 then the series would more than qualify for the task. My understanding was there had to be at least 4 books in the series but it wouldn’t matter which number the book was..

[Scarlett]

Date 2 - A | A is for Another

Looks good...its MPG romance, which seems to be the biggest problem with this challenge, so it works.

[Cold]

Thank you Scarlett and Grace for clearing it up for me !! I just wanted to be sure before starting 😊
