I hope you're feeling better!
Here is your next task:43. Each teammate reads a book that has been read by one of the RRRC moderators. No pass for this task.
There is no date requirement for this task. Your chosen book just needs to be on a moderator's shelf marked as read and rated. Please provide a link to the moderator's shelf or review in your completion.

We think it might have been the dinner my kids treated me to on Friday. They got a fancy delivery since I don’t go out in public due to the virus. So that was a Mother’s Day gift that misfired... (Sweden celebrates Mother’s Day last Sunday in May.)
I wasn’t the only one sick, but I got it the worst.

I was able to confirm Danielle's book without the link easily, so no worries there. Since we are friends, it was easy enough to scroll down. 😊Here is Task 26:
71. Read 6 books with alliteration in the title or author's name.
The alliterated words need to be in the title or the author's name, not a combination of the two. There can be one word between the alliterated words.

Lucy Lennox loves alliterations - she's an obvious choice. :)
That she is... works out for the Allitteration challenge over at AMMP too. So win-win...

Ugh! I'd completed my planned book thinking I was all good with my Charlie Cochet I had planned to read. Not remember that the threshold for this challenge is 160pgs not the 100pgs I have in my head. I'll pick something else now and make sure I get it finished tonight even with my getting called back to work and being forced to go bartend tonight. I'm a little nervous, but hopefully it won't be too bad.

I'm home for the night and have another book I planned to read that will fit. Just let me know.

From the tracking/ Q&A/ check in thread: ‼️ PLEASE TAKE NOTE! ‼️
With the challenge ending on Tuesday, June 9th, there will a minor change to the last task. Beginning on Sunday, June 7th, when teams post their completions and get a new task, they will all get the same task. For this task, instead of just completing it - you will be earning points for every completed book. In the event that two or more teams are tied based on the number of tasks completed, the team with the most points will win The Amazing Race Team Challenge!

Tonight will be interesting as it's the first Saturday night back. So we'll see how it goes with keeping people separated. We're a pretty small bar so we hit the 60% capacity pretty quickly.

Actually we aren't done - I didn't notice the 4 stars or above and Myzan only rated the book 3 stars so I need to pick something else. I'll find something and finish it tonight.

You're on the list to get your LAST task (😱) tomorrow!
We just need to complete our last task - we don't have to do the read-off since we are one task behind the other two M/M teams. They finished 28 tasks and we finished 27. 3rd place is pretty damn good though!
Here is your next task:100. Read a book with an average rating of 4.2 or higher. No pass for this task. You can read as many books as you wish, each book completed earns a point.
The books you choose need to have an average GR rating of 4.2 or higher. You can find this number on the main book page, use the average rating in your qualification. There is no pass for this task - so every team member needs to complete a book before the task is considered complete and points are tallied. Completions need to be posted prior to midnight US EDT on Tuesday, June 9th when the challenge ends.
