Tiki  | 491 comments Here is Task 7: DARK/ DARK ROMANCE

9. Read 6 books in the same sub-genre, teams decide.

Select your sub-genre and name it in your completion posts. I need to know how your book fits that sub-genre. Is the tag MPG or how many people tagged the book that sub-genre - use that as your qualification.

I know the feeling

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) Does there have to be a certain amount of tags?

If this ever happens, and I’m over halfway I tend to skim and scan the book

I added a bunch of stuff by Linnea May the other day. I was supposed to be doing work but me being me decided to scroll through Goodreads instead. Tell me if it’s any good, Tiki.

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) If it’s tagged ‘Dark Romance’ would that be classed as ‘Dark’?

I would guess so! I don’t see what the difference is


message 410: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) That’s what I thought. I’m going to get a second opinion before I start to read it though :)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) Who is reading an extra book this task? I know Tiki is. If anyone needs me to I can :)


message 415: by Chris (new)

Chris | 643 comments Amelia you can go ahead if you wish!


message 416: by Ris (new)

Ris | 485 comments I’m still working on my first book - it’s so, so badly written it’s almost funny! I’m hoping to finish it today or tomorrow; definitely before weekend’s end, though!


message 417: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) Would dark romance work for dark?


message 418: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) I think I should ask in the Q&A section because I’m not sure if it’d be classed as the same genre or not.


message 419: by Ris (new)

Ris | 485 comments I’d imagine that would be okay, but I suppose it’s best to get a second opinion!

Even if it's the MPG?


message 423: by Ris (new)

Ris | 485 comments If it’s the MPG, you can just say “MPG Dark”


message 424: by Ris (new)

Ris | 485 comments Also, we might be able to change our sub genre to be “Dark Romance” my book is tagged “Dark” and “Romance” so that should work, right?

Better let it just dark. Mine doesn't have the tag "dark romance" in one.


message 426: by Ris (new)

Ris | 485 comments Oh! Sorry, Chris, I only checked the ones that were currently completed when I suggested that. Okay, hopefully they give it to you, Amelia!


message 427: by Ris (new)

Ris | 485 comments Lol, Amelia, if you ever need an ego boost concerning your name, heroine in the book I’m reading is named “Amelia” and every time she introduces herself, the response is “Beautiful name,” and sometimes, but not always, followed by “for a beautiful girl.” It is a really pretty name, but come on! Every since time?! 🙄🙄🙄


message 428: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) haha, I actually really hated my name for a while but then I found out it was #7 on the prettiest names list and that changed my mind-


message 429: by Chris (new)

Chris | 643 comments I was checking about audio books , I was thinking about giving it a try while I work, usually I have Netflix on the background.
Anyway, I did a search and I found this site:
http://www.openculture.com/freeaudiob...
It has many classic books and several the author is the narrator.

message 431: by Chris (new)

Chris | 643 comments Tiki all completion posts have been updated.

Guys, if we need another book let me know. I just finished one that has some dark tags, I didn't check it before I started reading it.


message 432: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) I have less than a hundred pages left of the one I was reading and I think Tiki is doing one too. But, I think you should just post it because that way we can get through the tasks quicker :)

I just posted it. When I started reading it, I thought it was just another young adult, bully romance but it's on the darker side, not so dark but still and I checked the tags. Anyway, I'm off to finish shorting out my e-mail! I have 1.950 un-read emails... It needs my attention ASAP!


message 435: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) We just need one more book?


message 436: by Chris (new)

Chris | 643 comments Chris hasn't finished yet and yes we need one more book.


message 437: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) I have around 70 pages left of the one I’m reading - hopefully I can have it done today :)

message 445: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31598 comments Here is Task 8:

69. Read over 750 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

Professions such as law enforcement officer or musician are fine. Just don't try to pass off both a rancher and a chef as in food industry, those just aren't close enough. Remember to use the first edition Kindle edition page count!


message 446: by Chris (new)

Chris | 643 comments Are we going for sex worker? As it was mentioned in the previous msgs?


message 447: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) If we went for sex industry would we be able to get away with sex worker and pornstar etc etc? Maybe it’ll broaden our choices?


message 448: by Chris (new)

Chris | 643 comments Sex worker by definition is someone that works in the sex industry, pornstar,prostitute, strippers etc at least that's who wikipedia defines it.


message 449: by Chris (new)

Chris | 643 comments how*


message 450: by Ris (new)

Ris | 485 comments Perfect! I’ll start looking for a book!
