The Amazing Race Team Challenge - Not fast, Just Furious (13)

Oh for FAC that's awesome!
Great that can use hometown, do we pick one of ours that all read..."
My hometown is actually in Minnesota. It's a border town. Because everyone knows "Fargo" due to the stupid movie - I just use that. I grew up in Moorhead which is in MN. Literally like 2 blocks away as I grew up on a farm on the river (a river separates MN from North Dakota there). BUT technically - Minnesota so that should be the state we look for (I did edit my original post but I think too late for all to see it).

As I understand, we should pick one setting between Minnesota, Chicago and England. I'd say Chicago or England are common settings for books.
Just found this list Book sset in Minnesota (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...)
There are at least 3 books I could read set in Minnesota, if you'd like to pick this location.
I'm happy with any I'm sure could find one for each, maybe would like to try something other then England if we're using that for one of the other tasks I think.

(When the snark overwhelms the plot and makes for a rushed reading...not as good as it could be).

Finished and posted!Look forward to next task 😊
Here is Task 4!25. Each player reads a book in a series, teams decide. No pass for this task.
You do not have to read the same book, but all books must be in the same series. Connected series do not count unless they are all books are listed as one series on GR.
OK here are some ideas for series. I tried to pick series which have books on Kindle Unlimited where I could but I put a few on the list that have been highly rated or discussed frequently enough many people know them. I think books have to be 150 pages so not all series have enough books.
ACE's Wild Series
Stallion Ridge Series
Save the Kids
Project Zed Series
Cabrini Law Series
First and Forever Series
The Protectors
THIRDS Series
Fish Out of Water Series
Beacon Hill Sorcerer Series
Metahuman Files
Straight Guys
Cafe Om Series
Fake Boyfriend
Unbreakable Bonds
Death and Destruction
Harrisburg Railers Series
Out for Justice Series
Delicious Series
Twist of Fate Series
The Rogue Pack
Whyborne and Griffin
Signs of Love Series
Big Bad Wolf Series
Cold Case Psychic
Love in O'Leary
Zero Hour
Feel free to recommend any - I just did a quick 45 minutes grabbing some that I've got on my shelves. I Bolded the one's I am most interested in...but I have a lot of flex.
There are a few really popular authors I struggle with big time: TJ Klune, A.E. Via, and a few others so would prefer to not have one of their series.
First of all, THANK YOU, Jo, for all the work you've done preparing this list!From the bolded ones I'm not interested at The metahuman files, and I've read all books in Beacon Hill Sorserer. I'm game for any of the others. My preferences:
1.Fake boyfriend,
2.Big bad wolf,
3.Zero hour
4.Death and destruction
5.Cold Case Psychic
Form the non-bold my preferences:
1.Unbreakable Bonds
2.First and Forever Series
3.ACE's Wild Series (I think this is the one with the shortest books, but some are less than 150 pg)
Also to consider:
Dreamers series (https://www.goodreads.com/series/2528...)
Portland Heat series (https://www.goodreads.com/series/1444...)
Claimings series (https://www.goodreads.com/series/1355...)
My picks would be for1 Fish out of Water
2 THIRDS
3 Signs of Love
4 Fake Boyfriend
5 Zero Hour
6 Johnnies

I think we are in fifth place at the moment. Teams 1,7, and 9 are on their 6th task and team 15 on their 5th, assigned before ours.
Oh that's cool, we're doing petty good xx It's nice pace to me so far, things going to start get difficult again once SH cats tomorrow and bingo. So see how books fit and such, might end up bit slower😊
I'm doing bingo, as well but not SH this year. Hopefully SH categories will fit our tasks ;)
Oh sweet! Lol I hope so too, although depending what tasks we get some might be able to swap around to fit with SH anyway if lucky 😂
Let’s us know how how we can get our books to fit your SH tasks. Happy to help. I’m not doing SH either this year. Elizabeth an I was on an AWESOME SH team together a couple of years ago. (view spoiler). After that... I never had the bandwidth to signup again.
This is my first SH and regular bingo, I did Christmas bingo last year 😊 Should be fine I read a lot anyway at the moment, just have to wait and see what tasks get and the categories xxAwesome that you both won! That's great xx
Agree with the SH categories it gets..well dicey. However, I am dedicating the weekend to Animal Crossing, Reading, and the workouts I need to do. Here's hoping!
I've completed my book! I'm try and pick another one too for 6 xx
Completed my book and noted in the original post.
I've got another animal one as well but cannot get to it until tomorrow night. I'll post tomorrow if it ends up we need it.
I haven't got another at the moment and have a few other books for challenges. The one I was going to read is too short and the other I'm not sure off at moment it seems to be hit or miss with people... So Jo if you already have one and get too it first, feel free xx
I'll try to find a short one.
