Barbara ★ | 3911 comments Sorry ladies, I was reading until 3 am last night and didn't get back to this thread.

Just a quick looks shows that team 15 has completed 31 tasks.

The challenge ends today so no point in trying to complete another task if we get one quickly.

We had a tough start with Coco but we did very well considering. Well played ladies!

Trio | 2846 comments I'm so glad we stuck it out. It was great playing with you both, I read some great books, and I learned a valuable lesson about friending all my teammates to make sure they're at least 18 🤣.

Seriously, it was a lot of fun, thank you both!

AliciaJ | 1873 comments Aww, I’m sorry it’s over! I had a great time with you both, and like Trio said, I got to read some great books. We did have a bumpy start, but this is definitely a challenge I’ll be happy to play again. Thank you both for making it so fun!

MountainKat | 32191 comments Hey all - it's not over yet! This challenge ends on June 9th. You have done amazing, especially when you take into account your beginning. 😊 Anyway, you have time for another task or two, so here is your next one:

43. Each teammate reads a book that has been read by one of the RRRC moderators. No pass for this task.

There is not date requirement for this task, the book you choose just needs to be marked as read and rated on a moderator's shelf. Please include a link to the moderator's review or read shelf in your completion post.

Never changed - it's always been the 9th, but more than one person thought it was the 6th. Maybe I typed it wrong in one place? 🤷🏻‍♀️

MountainKat | 32191 comments Here is your LAST 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.
