The Amazing Race Team Challenge - QuaranQueens (7)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Awesome - here is Task 4:

73. Read 6 books published in the year one of the teammates joined RRRC, teams decide which teammate.

To check when you joined RRRC, go to the member list and search for the names - it will tell you there. You pick one teammate and all read from that year.

[Michaele]

How about we do the most recent? So 2017?

[Shelby]

So our options are

2013
2015
2016
2017

I'm all for any but my own year actually. So I vote to 86 - 2013. :D

[Shelby]

Michaele as the first to comment in support of a year I'm down with it. 2017 it is.

[Danielle Gypsy Soul]

I'm reading Arrows Through Archer which is published in 2017. I'm also listening to Tender with a Twist which is published in 2017. I'll have one done tonight and another tomorrow.

Just happened to work out for me that I had both those books planned next!

[Michaele]

Perfect!

[MyzanM]

I'm reading His Mossy Boy. It's been on my TBR really long and I put in my "What to read in 2020"-list this year to finally get to it.
Why is it that you tend to push back books you really want to read when they don't fit challenges?

I'm also reading Fool of Main Beach this week, but some if one finish a second book I'm fine with that.

Ok so I have to say if you guys haven't read my book for this round, you absolutely should! It was absolutely adorable fun fantasy. It was quirky and sweet. Great YA. I just had a smile on my face through the entire book.

[Shelby]

Once MyzanM finishes her book we'll have all our reads for this round and we can turn them in tomorrow for our next task.

[Shelby]

MyzanM this is just a nudge in case you didn't know...Bingo teams are up. Come on OVER. You're on my team so we can remind each other if we miss something between the two challenges.

I haven’t yet found my way over, but I’m about to... Thanks for the reminder.

Sorry I fell asleep before posting my completion...

I checked us in since I was last...

[Shelby]

Thanks my dear! Yay, really nice job ladies. We're flowing through all this so smoothly. Such fun playing with you guys.

[MyzanM]

It really is fun, but I fear my TBR will be fattening up quite a bit... 😉

Shelby I already read The Rules and Regulations for Mediating Myths & Magic a couple of years ago and it was fun! And I normally don’t like YA at all... and since you liked it you should try The Star Host by the same author.

[Shelby]

I'll have to add it to my TBR. :) I'm really excited there's a sequel to Rules & Regulations! It's a new author for me so I'm definitely looking for more books by them.
