Here is your next task:

31. Read over 1000 pages in books with Mystery or Suspense as MPG.

Either Mystery or Suspense need to be MPG, you do not need both. It can be combined or alone, it only needs to be Main Page Genre. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

‼️ PLEASE TAKE NOTE! ‼️

With the challenge ending on Tuesday, June 9th, there will a minor change to the last task. Beginning on Sunday, June 7th, when teams post their completions and get a new task, they will all get the same task. For this task, instead of just completing it - you will be earning points for every completed book. In the event that two or more teams are tied based on the number of tasks completed, the team with the most points will win The Amazing Race Team Challenge!

Here is your next task:

That went fast!!!

[SandyL]

I was all set to suggest A or The, and then reread the task saying to disregard articles .... I'm at a loss here

[Tammie]

My top picks would be:

U
S
F
M

[SandyL]

I misread the task - I was thinking we all needed to read a book starting with the same word (not sure how I got that!) - so any letter works for me - from your list my first pick would be S. Thanks Tammie!

[Tammie]

My 'S' shows 283 pgs.

Amanda...are you good with S?

[Amanda A]

S is fine with me.

[SandyL]

I'll read A Secret for a Secret - 298 pgs

Here is your LAST task!

100. Read a book with an average rating of 4.2 or higher. No pass for this task. You can read as many books as you wish, each book completed earns a point.

The books you choose need to have an average GR rating of 4.2 or higher. You can find this number on the main book page, use the average rating in your qualification. There is no pass for this task - so every team member needs to complete a book before the task is considered complete and points are tallied.
