I've updated My Tracking through here (I try to keep it up-to-date frequently if you're ever interested). Let me know if it looks like I missed something. I will have 2 more to add for myself before tomorrow's deadline because the books I'm reading for other challenges just happened to fit. I love it when that happens. :)

i love when they fit too - i have a bunch of books i need to read before the end of the month and have no books that work for one of the tasks next week (calculus) so i'm really hoping that isn't the one that is called haha.

i have 3 or 4 books left that i am currently reading that fit for this week, i am hoping to finish at least 2 but doubt i'll get to all of them because, you know, life lol.

I'm kinda hoping for C is for Consonant for the next date so we don't have to think so hard about it. LOL

All our talk about it has convinced me that I may throw in Hearts in Darkness before tomorrow night as well since it's a short one! :)

Very grateful I had the good sense to rope Karen into helping me with this round!! And equally as grateful that I am not having the concentration issues I had when I had my other knee done! We would be in sooooo much trouble if I were... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fortunately between us, we are catching everything. 🤞🏼

Date 2 has finally ended!! Anything posted/edited after this point will not count. If your completion is missing something - don't edit, repost a corrected completion.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

OMG! OMG! I'm so sorry! I was so distracted yesterday that I totally forgot what day it was. I'm so, so, sorry. 😔 I'll do better this week.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Date 3 - C - Tasks: Breakdown of qualifications of possible tasks for Date 3.


Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.

Don't make more work for yourself than necessary - if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don't have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the page count and edition - say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!

C is for Consonant - Read a book with a title that begins with a consonant, disregarding any articles. For example, neither The Understatement of the Year nor The Art of Breathing qualify, but A Wish Upon the Stars and A Quick Bite both do.

Do not forget to disregard any and all articles!!

C is for Camouflage - Read a book featuring a MC in that is in the military or is former military. Qualification from the title, précis, tags or lists.

The following tags/lists will be allowed: military, vet, veteran, soldier, navy, army, air force, marines, SEAL, Army Ranger, fighter pilot. Combo tags will be allowed IN CONTEXT - so if your book is tagged 'cops_firemen_military', but the precis indicates the hero is a sheriff for example (or even if all the other tags just indicate law enforcement), the book will be disqualified. I strongly suggest you find other qualification if possible - we will be SUPER PICKY with the combo tags.


C is for Challenge - Read a book that works for one of the current RRRC Monthly Challenge categories, excluding Reader's Choice. Qualification will vary with the rule.

1. 'J' is for July: ☀️Read a book that starts with 'J' or a book whose author's first or last name starts with 'J'. 

Exactly as it says, disregard articles.

2. Bird of the Month - Eagle: ☀️Read a book that includes a royal/monarch MC (any level) OR a book with an animal on the cover or as part of the story (shifters count) OR a book that starts with a letter in EAGLE. 

Remember royal/monarch does not include nobility - dukes and lords do not count. You will need to qualify this with the title, series, precis, lists or tags. Animal on cover - show cover. Animal/Shifter in story would qualify with title, series, precis, lists or tags. Starts with a letter in EAGLE - state which letter to qualify, disregarding articles.

3. Featured Author Challenge (FAC) authors:
Queen of Romance - Lori Foster
Princess of Romance - Julie Anne Long
☀️Read one book written by Lori Foster or Julie Anne Long, or any author with either of their first or last names. Link to backlists: Lori Foster, Julie Anne Long
☀️You may also read a book set in Ohio or by an author from Ohio OR a book published in 1996 OR a book shelved as Contemporary Romance or Urban Fantasy.

To qualify using the author's name - state the name. To qualify using a book set in Ohio - use GR main book page, precis, list or tag. To qualify using an author from Ohio - use the author's GR page. To qualify as shelved CR or UF, use a link showing the tag.

4. International Kissing Day (July 6): ☀️Read a book with people hugging or kissing on the cover OR a book that contains double letters in the title (i.e. The Unhoneymooners, Meet Cute, Just One of the Groomsmen) OR a book with a mostly pink or red cover.

To qualify with hug/kiss on cover or mostly pink/red cover - show cover. To qualify using double letters in the title, point out what/where the doubles are in the title.

5. Embrace Your Geekness Day (July 13): Not allowed for this task.

6. Bastille Day (July 14): ☀️Read a book set in Europe OR a book with a 1 or 4 in the page count OR a book published in July, any year, any edition.

To qualify as set in Europe, it must be set in a location on this List of States/Territories of Europe. Use the GR main book page, precis, tags or lists to verify. If using the page count, it must come from an English language edition - show the page count with link to the edition. To qualify using a book published in July, provide a link to that edition.

7. Moon Day (July 20): ☀️Read a paranormal romance OR a book with an outdoor scene on the cover OR a book with a dark cover. You can also read a Sci-Fi book - because of course there are people out there that think the moon landing was Science Fiction, or Fake News!

To qualify using the cover - show cover. To qualify the book as PNR or Sci-Fi - provide link showing the tag.

8. Lamington Day (July 21): ☀️Read a book set in Australia, by an Australian author or with an Australian main character OR read a book with food on the cover OR read a book you think is sweet.

To qualify using a book set in Australia - use GR main book page, precis, list or tag. To qualify using an author from Australia - use the author's GR page. To qualify using a MC from Australia - use the precis, tags or lists. To qualify using food on the cover - show cover. Vampires biting someone will not count. A book you think is sweet will not be allowed for this task.

9. International Day of Friendship (July 30): ☀️Read a friends to lovers book OR a book with best friends in the storyline OR a book recommended to you by a friend.

To qualify as a 'friends to lovers' book use the precis, that tag or a list. To qualify as best friends in story use the precis, tags or lists. A book recommended to you by a friend will not be allowed for this task.

10. Reader's Choice Not allowed.


C is for Calculus - Read a book featuring a geek/nerd MC. Qualification from title, précis, tag or list.

The following will qualify your book in title, precis, tag or list: nerd, geek, brainy, smart, genius and bluestocking. These must be in context!!

No worries Carmen! Just get one in this week so they don't kick you out!

The above isn't the announcement for this week's Date yet, it is just the guidelines for what MKat & Karen are going to accept for each of the 4 options. I love that it's been clarified and appreciate that they took the time to do that. I'm sure it will save them at least that amount of time in the long run.

Date 3 will be announced tonight at 6:00EST. Get your book options ready! :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Date 2 - A is for August - Destination Date - Rose Tally:

Team 3: Every Rose Has Its Porn - 7
First Rose
Serial Dating Rose
Scavenger Hunt Roses - 5

Unfortunately, Carmen and Rose didn't complete the task for Date 2 and are at risk for elimination if either fails to complete the task for Date 3. ☹️

I thought it would be a good idea to add it since I was a bit confused on some things and thought others might have been too.

Is your completion date for this book correct? It needs to be read completely after the announcement on 7/12 in order to qualify. I'm guessing this is just a copy & paste error. You can edit your post up until the time MKat or Karen asks for a correction. After that it would require a repost instead. (Hope that made sense. lol)
