I just had a rec for In This Iron Ground and I grabbed it on KU, it would work perfectly for this challenge - then I saw it was over 400 pages! Ummm, I might keep looking 😂.

Here is lucky Task 13:

21. Read a book recommended to you by a teammate - no pass for this task.

You can do the recommendations however you wish - to the group, to each individual, to the person below you on the list or ?? - it's up to you. If you want to provide a specific shelf to pick from, it needs to have a minimum of 10 book on it.

[Barbara ★]

You guys read similar stuff but I don't read much in that genre so I'm going to create a shelf and some one can pick a book for me off that shelf. If you'd like to create a shelf so I can pick something for one of you, that would be helpful.

My Shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

[Trio]

good idea Barbara, I'll do that now, thanks!
Did you really stall at #5 in the Cut & Run series? I'm not officially recommending it, just asking...

[Trio]

could one of you please recommend something for me that I haven't read yet from my current NegGalley shelf?
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
that would be helpful lol, thanks!

Nope I'm loving this series. I only read 1 book from a series a month otherwise they all start to sound the same. Also forces me to enjoy them even longer. lol

I will recommend Better Than People because it has the highest average rating so should be a great book.

[Barbara ★]

Since I recommended for Trio; Trio should recommend for Aliciaj and Aliciaj for me.

[Trio]

perfect, thanks Barbara - I'll start Better Than People tonight. Alicia, if you want to do what we did and make a shelf I'd be happy to use it, otherwise I can do a "compare books" with you and just rec one of those.
