Yeah as I said in post above that I will just do 2 books if needed, so I'm getting another one xx

Yeah it fits anyway so might as well, MK said that was ok x

Ok, I've updated tracking posts for tasks 16 and 17 with Laura' s selections. The next one to post in the Announcements thread should mention both tracking posts.
Thanks Elizabeth for keeping all the posts so organised! Oh and for updating Of paper and woods pg count for me 😊This has kind of in a weird way worked out for me, as found an interesting book in Marcus Retrograde and I get to read one I only just added to my tbr. Both are on Ku too. Can you tell I'm weak to a pretty cover? 😂

I'm listening to the audiobook and it's so hard to go back to reading just to finish it quickly -- so I've been mixing it up. The audio is JF Harding who I absolutely adore!
It's all good! Enjoy the audio especially if better for you xx
I am actually loving this challenge as it is spurring me on to read a ton of books!
Completed and posted (I did both 16 and 17 in the completion post as I think that is what we needed to do)
Yay - glad it worked out Laura! And glad you are having fun Jo! I'm so glad you are having fun with this challenge. 😊Here is your next task:

Here is Task 19:6. Each player reads a book by a new to you author - no pass for this task.
You can have other books by the new to you author on your shelves, but only the book you choose for this task can be marked as read. Please include a link to your read shelf, that is how I will confirm your books. 😊

Can I ask for clarity? I'm unclear as to how we link a book read that we haven't read yet? Do you mean just a link to our "general read" shelf so that when we read it - it shows up on there or?
It has to be a book we have *not yet read* correct?
Just want to be sure. I'm making that assumption - but if I'm wrong please let me know.

MK just wants a link to your basic read shelf, so she can search the author there to see if more then one book shows up. As should only be 1 you finish for this task as new to you author, hope that makes sense. 😊
It's fine if have books on want to read or other shelfs by the author, but only one should show as read for this task as it's new to you.
Yeah Laura - that makes sense. Thanks!WOW - there are not too many for me LOL. I thought a few would work and turns out I've read something from them. Who knew?
