😆😂😂😂 It was actually a gathering so the soon to be married couple could ask the siblings to be maid of honors and groomsmen and they made them shirts too. It was so cute
Mamacita wrote: "K I'll start a November book on the side. Do we need to do a selection post or just a completion?"Just completion. Just make sure you post kindle version. I tend to forget last time. Lol
Ok so since we can't seem to figure out which to pick, how about maybe combining the 2 picks somehow? Like?Four-tune Favors Squad
Also does anyone want to be captain to check us in? If not I'm good with doing it.

Plethora wrote: "Shelby, we need a rating now for completion post and a short review is encouraged."My completion post has now been modified. Sorry didn't look to see if they wanted different info this round. Just used the format I used last round. :)
Seriously - I wish that they noted which edition it was in the little description under the add book/author. Every time I think I have the right edition I never do. :-p
As for name - I'm cool with anything. The combined name is fun too. :)
Yesterday didn't get much listening in at work. 😢Should have known better... It was a Monday.. Lol
Still hoping to get some today sometime.
Funny thing, Carmen and I picked the same book and didn't even know it. Sometimes we share an idea but we hadn't done that with this one.

Review: Some cliché, but it made me laugh more than a few times, so I can enjoy that. What is terrible, is I can't tell you if I watched the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I like Matthew McConaughey and that long ago (17 years) it is likely that I did watch the movie. I hardly ever watch movies anymore. But i even watched the trailer after finishing this book and was still like, hmmmm. So I can't tell you how much it is a refresh of the movie.
Just FYI, the first task is to read a book from the month in 2019. I will allow Shelby's completion and any others though since you didn't understand this. It was clarified in the Q&A thread - it would be best if all of you were getting notifications for that thread. 😊
Carmen is doing the same book as me, so i know she has Nov 2019

Review: This story reminded me of the movie 10 Ways to Lose a Guy with Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey but with a twist to it. I don't want to give away the twist but this was such a fun and entertaining story. I really enjoyed the banter between both characters. There is a some much that goes on that you don't want to put it down including fun time too. You will enjoy how feisty Hannah is and how sweet Jack really is. How they meet is my best part with Hannah's straight foward attitude and she continues throughout the story. LOL

Task #90. Each member reads a book published in sequential months, i.e. June, July, August and September 2019. Teams decide which months. No pass for this task.
I know Mkat said she would let this pass this time but if we want to change it, I did finish a book that was published in Sept 2019?
Just to confirm, you are just waiting for Mamacita's completion right?
Mama's FFS Completion Post
Task 1 ~ Stop 0. Favorite month of 2019
Team Selection: November
Book: The Boss Who Stole Christmas 3. 5* ✔️ 9/16
Pages: 100 (GR pages for Kindle as I listened to audio)
Qualifications ~ Pub November 7th 2019
Review: FAF. I needed something funny that I could listen to & this definitely fit the bill. I will definitely read the rest of the series this holiday season because these sisters are so hilarious. #CountdowntoDickmas! I do wish it would have been a dual POV. I really could have used Nick's thoughts.

Wait I' am so CONFUSED
I thought for Task 0.... EACH of us read for the same month where are we getting sequential months????

And yes, how are you giving us this task when Mama hasn't posted a completion?

I SEE you added task 1 as being # 90. But Task 1 was actually 0.
☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ wrote: "I know Mkat said she would let this pass this time but if we want to change it, I did finish a book that was published in Sept 2019?"She is letting Shelby's book in Nov of a different year pass. The rest of us read a book in Nov 2019.
So now you are good to post a completion post so we can get the next real task. :)

Oops my mistake. I got confused on the task and whatever happened with Shelby. All fixed now.

OK so now I'm confused.
What is next task?
Mamacita wrote: "OK so now I'm confused.What is next task?"
I think we're still waiting as with your book posted we can now check in for this leg and will get our task once that happens.
Yea, now we are waiting for the LOVELY mod to give us our next task.
Well, here's the problem...Mamacita's book was 100 pages, the minimum for this challenge is 150 pages. ☹️
Since there is no pass for this task, she will need to read another book before you get your next task.
Also remember, anyone can check you in - it doesn't have to be the team leader.
Well we clearly have had a rough start!
[image error]
Okay guys. Sorry I f*cked up! I'm reading a book now that if other Editions apply, it will qualify.I'm reading
Published November 5, 2019 but I just started it so it will take a couple of days.
I'm really sorry y'all.
I have tried reposting my "bumpy/rough road" image like three times. It will show up and then it just vanishes...
Mamacita --- you not going to be happy!For this task we are using the initial publication date. If one is listed at the top of the editions page, use that. Otherwise I will be looking for the first published date of an English language edition. Remember to use the first English language Kindle edition for your page count and ensure that your completion posts contain all the required information listed in message #3 of your team thread.

Aww sorry Mamacita. I hated telling you. Plethora made me do it. 😂😂😂
