❤️ Information required when posting your completion/s: ❤️

❤️ Date Task
❤️ Book/cover link
❤️ Page numbers with source
❤️ How book qualified, with links or cover as necessary. Links required for lists, tags and other editions.
❤️ 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.

❤️You will need make a new post for your completions.❤️ If you update a prior post, i.e., if you saved posts for your completions, they will be missed when I do the accounting for each date. Make sure your books count - make a new post!

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.

🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 2🌹
🌹Theme - Destination Wedding🌹

Books must be a minimum of 90 pages and MPG Romance. Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance or similar is acceptable, but it must be romance. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS on the MPG Romance rule. Audiobooks and rereads are ok. Books can only be read once per person during the challenge even if it fits multiple categories. 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.

MPG = Main Page Genre:
On the main page of the book on the right hand side there is a section that says "Genres". Anything listed under that section is counted as an MPG.

MPG Romance = Main Page Genre Romance:
In the "Genres" section described above, there must be 'Romance". It could be Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance or MM Romance, but it has to have 'Romance' listed.

🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 2🌹
🌹Theme - Destination Wedding🌹

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 on your 'DestinationDate' 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 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 🌹 Teams earn this rose by reading 4 books fitting the task during the date. (One rose possible per team per date.)
Bonus roses may be earned by:
🌹 Speed Dating Rose 🌹 The team that finishes has 4 members finishing 4 books (1 each) and posts in the Q&A/Announcement thread first wins this bonus rose. Note, posting is required to earn this rose. (One rose possible per date.)
🌹 Team Dating Rose 🌹 Teams with each member completing the task (with a minimum of 6 books read) earn this additional rose. (One rose possible per team per date.)
🌹 Serial Dating Rose 🌹 For every multiple of 8 books read, teams will earn a rose. So 8 books is one rose, 16 books is 2 roses, 24 books is 3 roses and so on. (Number of roses will vary each date.)
🌹 Multiple Date Rose 🌹 The player who reads the most books for the date earns this bonus rose for their team. (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Longest Date Rose 🌹 The player that reads the longest book for the date earns this bonus rose for their team. (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Page Turner Rose 🌹 The team that reads the most combined pages for the date, English language editions only for page count, earns this bonus rose. (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Scavenger Hunt Rose 🌹This special rose is earned by finding a book that fits each rule for the letter the date represents, for example B is for Big Apple (set in NYC), Body Art (tattoo on cover), Beginning (first in series/trilogy) and Beach (beach on cover or setting with beach). After posting your completion, post in the Q&A thread. This rose may be earned multiple times per date but only once per book. The first person to post each book claims the rose for that book, other books could earn it though. (Number of roses available per date will vary.)

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.

🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 2🌹
🌹Theme - Destination Wedding🌹

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 of Destination Wedding and your team name should relate to that. Captains, please post your team name in the Q&A thread when you have decided.

Date 4 - H
H is for History
(view spoiler)[
Read a book set at least 50 years ago. Qualification from the GR main book page, précis, tag or list.

You need a book set in 1969 or earlier. If the GR main book page shows a date for the setting, use that - if that shows a date after 1969, the book will not qualify even if the book would otherwise qualify. If the book is tagged historical, that will qualify the book unless the GR main book page date indicates otherwise. Tags, lists and precis indicating specific periods in history, WWII for example, will be allowed as long as the period is over 50 years ago. Tags, lists or precis that include periods less that 50 years ago, i.e. '60s-70s', will not be acceptable.

Date 5 - E
E is for Ear
(view spoiler)[
Read a book with an ear on the cover.

We must be able to see a distinct human ear on the cover to qualify. A partial ear will qualify if the is NO DOUBT that it is an ear on the cover. Simply showing an earring will not work unless the ear is distinctly visible as well.

Date 6 - L
L is for Limited
(view spoiler)[
- Read a book from a series that is complete, one with no new books listed on GR.

Books qualifying for this task must be in a series that does not have any new books showing as planned and/or pending release on GR. If you look on the series page for the book and there are no books listed that have not already been released, then that book will qualify. Actually any book in the series would qualify as long as it meets the MPG and page requirement. This is true even if the author has announced a new book in the series, if it doesn't show on the GR series page, the book still qualifies. A link to the series page must be provided. If the book is listed in multiple series, only one needs to be complete to qualify. Though most novellas in anthologies have been released individually, you may want to read the complete anthology if the individual stories do not meet the page requirement - the anthology will qualify if one of the included stories is in a completed series. Remember though, you will need to read the entire anthology.

Hi Team!!

I LOVE this challenge (I'm actually addicted to SO MANY of the reading challenges and I'm not at all sorry about it) and am happy to be captaining this go-round. I'm a busy mom of three and reading is really my only hobby outside of them. I carry my kindle with me everywhere and will squeeze in a paragraph or two at any opportunity.

Please take some time to become familiar with all of MKat's previous posts in this thread, then introduce yourself and help us think of a team name!!

[Kristen]

Hi Cyndee + team - I'm Kristen! Australian living in America with 3 cats (and husband, lol). Reading is pretty much my only hobby. I am also addicted to all these challenges and not even a little bit sorry about it.

I did the bachelor challenge last time, I am excited for all the extra roses this time. I am a bit of a planner so I'll always have a book or two planned for each task and should be able to read more than that if it isn't a busy week.

I am not very creative and I don't actually watch the bachelor so my names might not be great:

- rose coloured reading glasses
- reading roses
- rosy readers
- rose and prose
- rose before bros
- between the covers
- hooked on books
- every rose has its porn (my husband's suggestion)

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Hi ladies and team!! *waves*

I enjoyed this challenge and can't wait to start. I enjoy all challenges and yes, I don't regret any of it :D

Hello! My name is Rose, I'm from Barcelona, Spain. I currently live in Yangon, Myanmar with my boyfriend and it's my first time doing this challenge. Excited to get started and earn aaall the roses! :)

[Tina "IRead2Escape"]

Hi all! My name is Tina and this is my second time doing this challenge. I loved it last time!

I'm from Ohio. 2 kids, a husband, 2 dogs, 4 goats and a bunch of chickens. I would have a zoo if my husband wouldn't rein me in. I work in Oncology and reading is my therapy.

Kristen tell your husband he made me almost spit my coffee on my computer. That is fantastic. Has my vote!

[Emeli]

I vote for every rose has its porn as team name

[Kristen]

[[deleted user]]

LOL! They're all awesome, but let's do it! Every Rose Has Its Porn it is. :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Are you ready?! The first date begins on Saturday!!

Everyone should double check that they are following the Q&A/Announcement thread before things get started on Saturday! That is where the date tasks will be announced each week and where all questions should be asked. Specific roses will be claimed and confirmed in that thread too. So you want to get notifications for that thread. 😊

[[deleted user]]

Hope you're all ready to get started!!

Just a little note to say that if you are the 4th person to post a completion for the week and the 🌹Speed Dating Rose🌹 has not been claimed, please check the team in on the Q&A/Announcement thread. 😊 That rose cannot be claimed by a team unless it is also posted in that thread.

Emeli, can you update your qualification to indicate that the précis states it is set in the Virgin Islands? The justifications on these qualifications have to be pretty specific for this challenge.

[[deleted user]]

Actually, I need to check in with MKat on that book to see if we can count it because the rules state it has to be MPG Romance and there are no tags listed for that book on the main page at all. I've never seen anything like that before!

ACK! It was listed on there right before she posted it. Bummer.
(There is something weird going on because it also changed page numbers and number of rankings went from 19 or so to zero. LOL! Oh, well...

I'll change my tracking post to reflect that it's not valid. :(

[[deleted user]]

Emeli, if you do a search for that book it comes up with two different options (they aren't tied together as different editions of the same book). One of them is the one linked in your latest completion post, with no rating, no reviews, and no MPG listed. The second is the one that shows an MPG of Romance and has 19 ratings and 4 reviews. If you repost (again :) ) with that second option, it should count.

Stripped Naked - USE THIS ONE :)
(number after the book title in the link should be 29959259)

Stripped Naked - NOT this one :(
(this one has number 43217892)

Great catch, Cyndee! I've combined the two separate editions, so Emeli's book now works.

A REMINDER FROM OUR MODERATOR :)

Just a friendly reminder, do NOT edit your completion posts after the date ends!!

I won't be able to tell you are just a perfectionist like me and are correcting a typo or if your book/post didn't qualify. I will disqualify any completions edited after the date ends. ☹️

If you need to make any additions - 'oops I forgot my rating' or edits - 'yikes, I didn't say the qualification was from the precis', make a second post stating they are corrections to message #xx. If they are minor, I will almost certainly accept them. If they are major, like you listed the wrong book, I probably will disqualify. But better to try that way, than to have it automatically disqualified by editing after the date ends!
