Here is Task 9:

You can read the same or different books, but they all must be in the same series. The series needs to be listed on GR.

Works for me!

[Navi]

I think we decided on the Nocturne Falls series for this prompt! Does that still work for everyone?

The Vampire's Mail Order Bride

The Vampire's Mail Order Bride"

Yes...this works for me. It's a fun series...I think you'll all enjoy. It should be free KU and also Audible for most of the books.

[Amanda A]

Nocturne Falls works for me. The next book in the series for me is The Dragon Finds Forever.

I have you complete for Task 9, I will assign Task 10 tomorrow. 😊

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Here you go:

73. Read 6 books published in the year one of the teammates joined RRRC, teams decide which teammate.

To find what year you join RRRC, go to the member list and search for each teammate. Then select which year you wish to choose. Use the initial publication date of your books and remember to use the Kindle edition page count!

[Tammie]

Results from our survey:
2007
2009
2014 x2

My 1st choice would be 2009, then 2014
I'd need to hunt up something for 2007

*Remembering we need to use 1st edition Kindle...so be sure to dbl check...I just did...still ok with either 09 or 14

[Navi]

I can find a book for any of these years but I'll vote for 2009!

[SandyL]

I went back to look at our answers for this one:
Navi - 2009
Tammie - 2014
Amanda - 2007
Sandy - 2014

What do you guys think?

[Amanda A]

I am good with 2009 or 2014, no preference.

[Tammie]

OK...2009...I'm a MAYBE for 2 books for me this time. if anyone knows they can do 2 books, please let us know.

Thank you for catching that it was RRRC, Tammie! I think the other dates were when we each joined Goodreads.
