Just FYI, going forward - for your qualification, saying 'set in London' or something from inside the book doesn't work. I need to know where to look to confirm your qualification - that is why I ask to know how you know. Also, there is no way for me to confirm what is inside the book without having the book itself.

Both your books qualify easily though:

Mr. Trouble - qualifies through the series name, 'London Billionaire'.

Pervade London - qualifies with London in the title, also setting listed in the book details is London Bridge, London England 2019.

I also need you to correct to the Kindle page count for Pervade London - 327 isn't listed as a page count for this book, the Kindle page count is 334.

Other than the page count, don't worry about any corrections, just letting you know what I am looking for in future completions. 😊

I really hope that didn't sound bitchy, that is not my intent. I just want this to be easier for everyone.

I need a page count added to your completion - thanks! (196 Kindle page count)

Also, sticking with the qualification theme - just telling me where the book is set isn't enough. Your books is tagged 'country-england' though and that I how I know it fits for this task.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

And after all my complaining, here is your next task:

14. Read 4 books with fewer than 500 reviews.

You can see the number of reviews on the main book page, use that as your qualification.

Stacie - I just want to point out that it's REVIEWS the task is looking for. I think your book is okay, you just typed in the wrong word but I thought I'd say something so it doesn't confuse MKat.

I saw that MK won't be giving new tasks if we have a mistake in there. In the info, it says that we have to put the page source in our completion posts so I don't know if LaurLa and Louise want to edit their posts?

Okay... I added it to my recent completion but it wasn't on the ones before, so maybe she didn't notice. I've just listed the pages in the first two but I'll change my template ... don't want to mess us up.

Well done! Here is Task 5:

25. Each player reads a book in a series, teams decide. No pass for this task.

You do not need to read the same books, but all books need to be in the same series as listed on GR.

[Louise]

Ideas ladies 😊

[Stacie]

Hmmm. I can post what series I have next up but I'm not sure that's helpful. Do you have any thoughts Louise? We already did In Death lol though I suppose we could always do that again.

[Cheryl]

I’m working through the Arizona vengeance series

[Stacie]

Who writes that Cheryl?

[Cheryl]

Sawyer Bennet

[Cheryl]

But if I’ll be good with something else if I need to be. I would just rather not read another in death book. Really wasn’t my style

[Louise]

Some of the series books I have readily available:

Outback Brides by Kelly Hunter
Lucky Harbor by Jill Shalvis
Red River Valley by Shelley Alexander
Tavonesi by Pamela Aares
Tanglewood by Rachael Anderson
Maverick Billionaires ; The Sullivans by Bella Andre
No Match For Love by Lindzee Armstrong
The Langley Sisters by Wendy Vella
Love, Montana by Debra Salonen
The Inn at Sunset Harbor by Sophie Love
Pine Harbour by Zoe York
The Bennett Family by Layla Hagen
Kissed by the Bay by Susan Hatler

I will be reading but not until the end of the week, rolling into the weekend.

[Stacie]

From Louise's list I'm good with any of these:

Lucky Harbor by Jill Shalvis My library has plenty
Red River Valley by Shelley Alexander available through KU
Tavonesi by Pamela Aares #1 is free right now on Kindle
Tanglewood by Rachael Anderson available in KU
No Match For Love by Lindzee Armstrong available in KU
The Langley Sisters by Wendy Vella available in KU
The Inn at Sunset Harbor by Sophie Love #1 is free on Kindle right now

[LaurLa]

I don't really match up with both Stacie and Louise. I've read all of Lucky Harbor, I guess I could do a re-read there of a shorter one.


Also from Louise's list I could do
The Sullivans by Bella Andre
Pine Harbour by Zoe York
Black Dagger Brotherhood

Series I'm working on
Hidden Legacy by Ilona Andrews
Charleston by Natasha Boyd
Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts
Gansett Island (also known as The McCarthy's of Gansett Island) by Marie Force
Heartbreaker Bay by Jill Shalvis
Maine Sullivans by Bella Andre (could also count as The Sullivans as I think they are listed as both in GR)
Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs

[Stacie]

I could do The Sullivans or a BDB or the Ilona or a Bridge Quartet or Heartbreaker Bay as well.

[Cheryl]

I could do heartbreaker bay.

[Louise]

I can’t do that

[Stacie]

So Book #2 in the Sullivans is free on Amazon right now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...

So I vote for The Sullivans.

[Stacie]

I also own a couple of them and can lend them if needed.

[Cheryl]

ok i can do the sullivans.

[LaurLa]

Sullivans it is!

Edit: is Friday okay?

Edit #2: I also own all of them so can lend if needed.

[Cheryl]

Woo hoo.

[Louise]

That works for me.

Hey guys I’m going to be done probably mid Saturday. Today was my birthday so I didn’t get much reading done. I watched trashy tv and painted rocks to hide in my neighbourhood.
