Here is Task 6:

48. Read a minimum of 750 pages in books featuring shifters.

Remember to use the Kindle edition page count. Also, let me know how you know the book is about shifters - precis, title or series, tag or list. Please provide a link if necessary.

[Navi]

I'll be reading Her Wolf - 238 pages

[Amanda A]

I plan to read Silver in the Blood (368 pages).

[Tammie]

I’ll read Dearest Ivie if vampires are ok’d for shifter...still waiting.

Sandy not sure if you have one, if so I can pass this time I think.

[SandyL]

I'm going to read Wolf Signs (169 pages)

That adds up to 775 pages, so we should be good if you decide to pass, Tammie (thank you for picking a longer book Amanda!)

I just read that if I pass, I can't pass for the rest of the challenge...so I'm going to read something. MK wasn't crazy about my book qualification, so I'll look for something...

[Navi]

I finished another book that happened to have shifters in it. I'll post the completion but I am still reading Her Wolf

Your qualification doesn't work - I can't check what is inside the book to confirm the book fits. But your book is tagged multiple times with shifter. Please correct your qualification - thanks!

The Kindle first edition page count for this book is 91 pages and doesn't qualify. ☹️

[MountainKat, Moderator]

OK, here is the deal. First, Navi needs to correct her qualification. And second, Sandy's book isn't long enough. With the other three books though, you have enough pages to move on the next task if Sandy wants to use the pass. Remember each person can only use the pass once throughout the challenge. Otherwise, she will need to read another book that does qualify before the team can move on.

[Tammie]

So it's not the 1st 'kindle' that's listed on the editions...it't the actual '1st edition'

[Navi]

Fixed my qualification!

[SandyL]

Sorry ladies!!! I'm off today and I can knock out another book pretty quickly or if you guys want to move on I can take a pass - let me. I'm okay with either option.

[Amanda A]

No worries, Sandy. I'm fine with waiting for you to finish another book before we move on.

[Navi]

No problem at all, Sandy! :)

[SandyL]

Thanks - I'm going to read:
Doe and the Wolf

I've got the audio version, so it should just be a couple of hours.

Yes, I am looking for the Kindle edition from the initial publication date or as close to it as possible. Also, I'm using an English language edition. 😊

Here is Task 8:

52. Read 6 books set in the same location, teams decide the location.

You can use a big city if you choose, or state within the US and country outside the US. Please make sure you tell me how you know where the books is set - precis, book details, tag or list. You can't use something from within the book to qualify, it needs to be something I can check. 😊

[Tammie]

We decided on NYC previously...is this still OK with everyone?+

I have a couple of books with 'texas' as location that could work as another option for what I have if you want to check.

If we move forward with 'New York' can we leave it generic to the state of NY vs the city?

[Navi]

The state of NY works for me!

[Tammie]

If New York, I can read 2 books for this one.

[SandyL]

NY works for me too

[Amanda A]

I am good with New York too.

[SandyL]

I'm going to read Beyond the Surface
