I have you complete for this task and will assign the next one once I get on my computer tomorrow.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Here is your next task:

21. Read a book recommended to you by a teammate - no pass for this task.

You can do the recommendations however you wish - to the group, to each individual, to the person below you on the list or ?? - it's up to you. If you want to provide a specific shelf to pick from, it needs to have a minimum of 10 book on it.

[Tammie]

I just revised my 'PIFM - May' shelf so there are no books with less than 150 pgs so I'm good to go if either of you want to pick for me. Let me know who I'm picking for and from where...

[SandyL]

Hi Tammie
How about Survive the Night

[SandyL]

I don't have a pick for me shelf, but hopefully this shelf will work:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

[Tammie]

I’ll choose ‘Dirty Headlines‘ for you Sandy...thanks for my pick.

Whichever of us get here 1st for Amanda after she checks in with her shelf should just go ahead and pick for her...ok?

[SandyL]

Sounds good! Thanks for the pick!

[Amanda A]

I don't have a PIFM shelf either, but I created a shelf for this challenge: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

[Tammie]

Amanda...how about Fighting For You. Looks pretty good.

[Amanda A]

Thanks, Tammie!

Here is your next task:

69. Read over 750 600 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

Professions such as law enforcement officer, musician or athlete are acceptable. Just don't try to pass off both a rancher and a chef as in the food industry - they just aren't close enough. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

[SandyL]

I can't remember if we had previously decided on an occupation? Two that are in books I need to read for another challenge are Chef and Construction worker. I don't know if either of those work for you guys? I always Athlete romances, but I'm flexible.

[Tammie]

We decided ‘athlete’ but I can figure something out for either of those...which do you prefer Amanda?

[Amanda A]

I can find something for any of these. I only have a few books planned for the remainder of the month.

[Tammie]

Close to You I think probably works for both...construction owner in précis. The 1st book zeroed in on a restaurant but in not sure yet if the female mc is a chef...so going with construction worker is probably safest.

I’ll pursue another book 1st that has a handy man...would prefer this one, but it’s not in the précis Forever and For Always - 183 pgs

Construction worker?

[SandyL]

That's so funny Tammie - Close to You is the book that is on my list to read! :-)

[Tammie]

So we have to read what another team has read for this challenge.
hmmm...I'll go a hunting starting with teams that have read a lot of books...will report back soon.

[Tammie]

I didn't go through all of the teams...I put the lists in order of what I think are likely possibles...I don't have any team that I'm interested in over another. Suggest looking through these and posting the ones that interest each of you. We can go with one that you both have in common...

QuaranQueens: Maybe start here...lots of books...some MM...I saw at least 1 Kristen Ashley...I could find something in this group I think...
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Ever-Read-Y: another with NO list...but I found a couple I could live with
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Stranded Readers: I found a list! These are under a spoiler but at least they are all together.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Books on the Run: No list but at least it's only 6 pages of posts...I saw a couple of KU possibles in this thread
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Pumped Up Sisters: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Read Snack Repeat: No list...only a few pages...some KU in here
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Loitering Layabouts: a lot of MM on these shelves...I don't see anything, but I can do whatever https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

If you want to got through some of the other lists...feel free, I'm a hunter, but this was just plain painful to me.

[SandyL]

I like the Stranded Readers lists, but I'll go with whatever you guys want.

[SandyL]

PS - thanks for looking all these up, Tammie!!

[Tammie]

I’m good with Stranded Readers if Amanda is...long list...I’ll find something
