I didn't read the first one so you are fine. I had no issues. Though probably knowing Linc's story would have been fun.

I use KU a lot and I just went and purchased all this author's books I could find. That tells you how much I liked them. I skipped KU entirely and went right to the buy it now.

Yeah first one is about Linc and Wyatt, it was fun but didn't rate it anywhere as highly as captivating. I adore this authors writing style though and am looking forward Calder/Robbys story which looks to be a lot of fun 😊

Oh great! Thanks Sunshine, the is perfect to help. I'm definitely thinking motorbike is easier option, I'm quite a fan of bikers to or clubs so works for me too xx

Another new task, posted for team 9 a few minutes ago.
#89. Add up the years of the teammates' births and each teammate reads a book with that minimum number of pages. For example, teammates were born in 75, 83, 87 and 94 - each teammate reads a book at least 339 pages long.

Ours: 75+96+68?+89? > 328 pg

[Trip]

Oh that's interesting! Im 96.

You posted completion right? Are we missing something... Every other team complete looks to have received a new task or have we got to wait till tomorrow xx

[Elizabeth]

Definitely today. What time did we receive the last task? it needs to be 48 h I think. In half an hour max we'll get it, I think.

Edit: 1.13 PM , I don't understand Goodreads times ;(

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Wow, you guys are scary on top of the unlisted tasks! (Yes, I have even more. 🤔😉🤣)

Here is your next task:

81. Each teammate reads a debut book by an author. No pass for this task.

For this task, you need to read the first book an author published.

Lol I don't understand the times on here either, they don't tend to be accurate to my actual time 😂

Thanks! Of course, I like these little surprises. This shall be interesting x😊

[Elizabeth]

Well, this is a surprise!! I have no idea where to look.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

As for times and when you get new tasks - they won't be assigned more frequently than every other day. For you, Task 9 was assigned today 4.30.2020, so Task 10 will not be assigned until 5.2.2020. I don't go by 48 hours - too much brain work! I try to check in the morning and before bed at a minimum, but frequently will during the day as well. What else is there to do? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

[Elizabeth]

Some relevant lists, however please double-check the authors' works for dates of publications.

No problem! I've got a couple books on these lists and some ideas of what might read, but waiting to see answer to you questions first.

[Elizabeth]

Ok, I have at least 5 choices. I can't decide ;(
Did you know that if you go in an author's page and select "distinct works" you could short his books by year of publication? I just discovered it! So proud of myself ;))

I've got 1 I think I'm go with, but still checking if any others I prefer. Lol that's what I've been using, but it's not always useful as if they don't have date on, they just auto go to bottom but once you click could be later or earlier xx

[Jo * Smut-Dickted *]

Does anyone know if that is under a particular pen name?

I'd like to read Linc's story by Intoxicating and that was her first book published under this name.

I haven't looked at her books previously published under a different name.

Huh what do you mean? Intoxicating is on ku, still under Onley James xx Her other pen name is for mf/ya books I think.

I don't think that you should check other pen names. However, I'll ask in the Q & A thread.

Edit: Oops, you already asked, I just saw it.

[Trip]

I'm trying to decide between...


Help me? 😂

Makes sense and I hope you enjoy it, if it's accepted. 😊

[Jo * Smut-Dickted *]

I can find another one too though. I'm off tomorrow (YAY!) so I can read for sure.

I'm not much help Laura on your list..haven't read those!

But that Dragon one looks good. I might have to look at that one :)

[Trip]

No problem! I'm just going to see which pops out at me most when check kindle or which is on ku, I can't remember now. So going little search 😂

Consorting with dragons looks good, but I'm not it the mood for it at the moment. I tried a fairytale retelling recent that was awful and a dnf so not vibe with at moment.

[Trip]

So of course I'm indecisive and finally went with something not even on my tbr 😂
