For #57, Kat answered "For hometown, you can use states within the US, countries outside the US. Of course if one of you lives in a big city, that is easy to use"
Thanks!Oh that's good then, makes it a bit easier to find books for then 😊
Yay, you've completed Task 1! Here is Task 2:36. Read 6 books published in June.
For this task the book needs to be initially published in June of any year.
Lol I thought this would be an easy one, but I'm struggling to find many that interest me 😂
Agree, not easy. Trying to check publication dates in audios I haven't added to my TBR
On my tbr only 3 of my mm books are from June and I don't have access to any of them at the moment... I might go mf for this one.
I've got both MF and MM audios, a couple of mysteries, I'll try for at least 2, maybe 3.
Awesome! That's great, I've found a couple so I'm going with What the Cat Dragged In and will follow with Summer Heat unless got 6 by then. I have mf To Save a Sinner as well if it grabs me 😊

I was thinking of making selection posts like mine in msg#63, which I would link in the tracking post and after finishing the book just turn them into completion posts, adding the additional necessary information. Then the last one to a task could just give the number of tracking post in the announcements thread.
Thoughts?

Oh BTW thought would mention, I'm probably slow down a bit for the next week as got some coursework to do and finish for next Friday xx
No problem Laura. I'm having plenty of time this week, since we have Easter this Sunday, and we are on Easter holidays from past Wednesday till Tuesday.

I've just finished Easter half term and would technically be back at work yesterday if not for covid, so I figure should probably start getting coursework stuff done.

Selection Post Task 2: Read 6 Books published in JuneBook 1
Jon's Crazy Head-Boppin' Mystery

Published June 5 2019
Wow that's quick! Awesome Elizabeth, I should have mine done later today xx
I'm listing here some Q&A posted the past few days:- MM Romance' count for a sub-genre of romance
- #21. Read a book recommended to you by a teammate - no pass for this task.
Does each team member have to make a rec to a different team member or can members make a rec and then the teammate pick one of those picks?"
My plan was to leave it up to teams how they wish to make the recs - that this would be a task they would have to work together on. So they could agree to make some recs to the group in general or to a teammate in particular or even each teammate makes a pick for all the others. My only plans were if a person wanted to specify a shelf to pick from that there be a minimum number of books on it. I'll go ahead and just say 10 books minimum on a shelf if specified.
- #45 Read 4 books by one of the 2020 FACs.
Does your whole team need to read from the same author, or can they choose different ones, as long as it's one of the four?
Yes, you can read different authors for this task.
- #57: Read a book set in one of your teammate's hometown
For hometown, you can use states within the US, countries outside the US. Of course if one of you lives in a big city, that is easy to use
We all need to read a book from the same location
- #64. Each teammate reads a book from a teammate's to-read shelf, no pass for this task.
Each teammate is free to pick which ever shelf they like? That is, one teammate's shelf may be read by 3 of the teamies, with the pickee's choosing from another teamie's shelf."
Yes, that is right. You can't read from your own, but can read from any of the others. It doesn't matter which shelf your teammates choose.
-#66. Pick a list with over 100 romance books on it. Read a book from list. Do have to use the same list?" YES
Yes. you have to pick a list as a team and all read from the same list.
I saw couple of those! It looks good, if we get subgenre shall we just go for mm romance as easier?
Oh for FAC that's awesome!
Great that can use hometown, do we pick one of ours that all read for or can we each read for any of them. So like we have England, Greece, North Dakota and Illinois? That makes easier xx
