[Nikitha]

Autumn or Deanie, one of you can read another one too. My pace has slowed down a little for this next book

[Autumn]

No problem! I’ll try and get one done quickly.

[Aiswrya]

Perfect! I’m halfway through my next one. Hope to finish today.

[Autumn]

I’m hoping to be done by tonight too. I started one yesterday, so I’m about 70% done with it.

[Deanie]

I'm 1/3 of the way through a book set in Washington, DC. Though we can probably use it for something else if someone finishes first. I'm doing "Set in Washington DC" for another challenge :)

BTW, do we want to give our team a name? I can't think of anything clever off the top of my head, but maybe someone can.

[Aiswrya]

Awesome! We have finished Task 2!

And yes we should definitely name ourselves something. I'm terrible at these things LOL. So, please feel free to make some suggestions :)

Just saw we already finished it! 😂 Yay us!!

Here comes your next task!

66. As a team, pick a list with over 100 romance books on it, each member reads a book from that list. No pass for this task.

For this task, the books will need to come from a list of romance books. Please provide a link to the list and what number your chosen book is on the list in your qualification.

[Aiswrya]

Thanks Kat!

Do you each one to come up with one list and we’ll decide on one from those choices?

One list for the team.

[Aiswrya]

Okay so I thought we should pick a list that wasn't confined a particular sub-genre. That way, we'll all have something to read in it.
1. Romance Books Everyone Should Read - this has over 2,500 books.
2. Best Ever Contemporary Romance Books - this one has over 4,000 books.

Let me know which list you'd prefer. And feel free to add more lists to these choices :)

[Nikitha]

I really like the second list! It's got a lot of books that are to my taste.
The first one is good too so if you all vote that, I'm cool with it

[Autumn]

The second list has more books, and I saw quite a few that I’d read. But I’m good with either one too.

[Deanie]

We only have to read one book from the list each? Then it doesn't really matter. I've got books on both lists, so since the second one seems to be most preferred I'll go with that too.

[Aiswrya]

Great! The second list it is :) happy reading!

[Nikitha]

Happy reading!

[Nikitha]

I'm rubbish at picking team names as well :p That leaves Autumn

[Autumn]

Fun! I’m not super good with names either but here’s a few ideas. I played roller derby for years and coming up with your name was one of the best parts 😂

Team Shelf Awareness
Team Carpe Librium (Seize the book)
Team Abibliophobia (phobia of running out of reading materials 😝)
Literarily the Best Team

[Nikitha]

I love Literarily the Best Team, it's so cute
These are great Autumn!

[Aiswrya]

Ooooh Team Abibliophobia - I love it haha. Literarily the Best Team sounds great too!!

[Deanie]

Let's go with Literarily the Best Team. Those are way better than the ones I found when looking for book challenge team names.

[Aiswrya]

Sounds good :)

Yay! Another task done!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Here is Task 4:

10. Read 4 books tagged/shelved as PNR or fantasy.

Tags do not have to be MPG, books need to be tagged PNR, paranormal or fantasy. Please provide links to the qualifying tag or at least the page number for the tag and how many people tagged it so I can confirm your qualification.

[Autumn]

Where can I find the book tags?

[Aiswrya]

If you’re using a browser, on the right, beside the edition details etc.
On the App, scroll all the way to the end of the screen. It should show up.

[Autumn]

Thank you!

[Nikitha]

Okayy!
