The Amazing Race Team Challenge - Grim Reapers (12)

[Milly]

There’s not a list for it. I might quickly skim through the pages to see if it mentions anything.

I do have another book, but I’m kind of halfway through it and I don’t really like it :(

[Ris]

Most likely it is set in the U.K. (with the author being from the U.K.), but, sadly, unless it’s tagged, listed, or mentioned in the précis, I don’t think it will count for the challenge because in-text mention is unverifiable. :(

[Milly]

I found another book anyways!

I think technically Amelia would have to complete the fourth one for us to progress.

[Chris]

we need 6 books.

[Ris]

My bad! I hadn't noticed that it was 6! I can do a second book - another challenge I am in requires me to read a book set in Europe, so I can easily double up!

[Milly]

I’m actually pretty close to finishing. Should be done tomorrow (or tonight depending on timezones) :)

Almost done with E.L. James

Amelia almost finished and Chris can read the last one if she wishes! So we will have 6 books. I won't be able to read much today, as it's Easter and I'll spend the day with family.
Tiki take care and if we finish before you have time to check-in we will post the completion at the tracking thread for you.

Wonderful! @Chris, can you post for us in the tracking thread? It’s still Sunday afternoon State side, so I don’t think Tiki will be able to get to it today.

Nvm, I just saw that you had! Thank you!

Chris, for both your books can you correct to the Kindle edition page count please - thanks! Also, for tasks like this, I need to know how you know the book is set in the UK, saying so isn't enough. I found proof easy enough so don't worry about it, but in the future something like 'Setting is United Kingdom in the book details' or whatever makes it so I know where to look. 😊

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Here is your next task:

39. Each teammate reads a book with a night sky on the cover, no pass for this task.

You can use any edition's cover to qualify, but please post that cover! If you have any questions if your cover works, please ask!

I updated the page count :)

[Chris]

I found this list, I'm not sure that it will help:

[Chris]

Also if you like shifters Renee Rose has some books with suitable covers.
and Nora Roberts has few as well.

[Milly]

Would work?

Here is Task 4:

46. Read over 1000 pages in books written by duo authors.

The books can have 2 authors listed, i.e. Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, or write as a duo under a pseudonym, i.e. Ilona Andrews. Please provide a link to the author page is it is a pseudonym. Make sure you use the Kindle edition page count!

[Milly]

I don’t think we all have to read the same duo authors, so I think we should all try get one book done first and then just see how many pages we have lefts. Unless, you want to calculate the amount of pages, prior to reading, but sometimes I tend to change my books so I’m not sure if this is a reliable method :)

[Ris]

Book I’m reading currently is 358 pages,
if that helps at all in y’all’s planning for what book y’all are thinking of reading.

[Chris]

I haven't decided what I'll read, I have several books in my e-reader that I wanted to read, most of them are between 200-300 pages.

[Milly]

The book I’ll read is over 300 pages. Either that or there’s two books left in the series for the book that I read last task that’ll add up to 300+ :)

[Tiki]

My book has 361 pages so hopefully it helps
