The Amazing Race Team Challenge - Round 3 - Tracking/Q&A/Announcements
Kat - for a hat, would you accept a riding hat/helmet? I’m on my phone, so I can’t manage to link to the cover, but the book is Last Ditch by Ngaio Marsh, the 11/1/16 Kindle edition. It looks like a black velvet covered baseball cap.I’d wait until I got home tonight to ask, but 1500 is a lot of pages and I want to start over lunch....

No, your timing is perfect! I ended up going late - actually, I working late, too, so it’s all good. :)
MKat - just checking on a page count - this one shows 402 pages on the Kindle first ed (we need 324 for our challenge). My concern is that it says it's illustrated - I looked at the book and it's only a handful of drawings, not like a graphic novel or anything. Idk, is it ok? Conventionally Yours

As long as there aren't tags or something else to show it means state instead of city, that will work.

Looking at the sample, it seems to be a regular books that I am assuming has a few illustrations. You are good to go with that one.

In the first few paragraphs it states Manhattan as the location of one of the MCs who works as a nurse, so confident it fits ... No contradictions in the tags...

Here's another page count question: The Kindle edition of Last Ditch I'm reading is 288 pages. The first Kindle edition, however, has a page count of 752 pages. See them both here (there are only the two Kindle editions.)Should we use the 752 page count? I just wanted to be sure.
Weird, huh?

‼️ PLEASE TAKE NOTE! ‼️With the challenge ending on Tuesday, May 11th, there will a minor change to the last task. Beginning on Sunday, May 9th, 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 continue reading to add to the total number of books read for your team. There will be no passes for the last task and to complete it, every team member must complete a book for the task and contribute to the overall book count. So, the task is considered ‘completed’ when every team member has read one book for the task, but you can continue reading in order to increase your overall book count for the task in case that is needed for a tie breaker. In the event that two or more teams are tied based on the number of tasks completed, the team with the highest book count will win The Amazing Race Team Challenge!
**Remember if your completion posts are incomplete or have the wrong page count, your books will not count. So help each other out by checking the posts!**
‼️ If your page count comes from a Kindle edition published on the initial publication date on the editions page, it will count. If your page count comes from a Kindle edition labeled '1st edition', it will count. If your page count comes from the earliest dated English language Kindle edition, it will count. I am looking for one of those three things when confirming your books! As long the page count you list is correct, I will accept any link to the book. ‼️
I also wanted to let you know that I will be away this afternoon and evening. We are doing Mother's Day a little early this year. 🥰

When we have finished last task but carry on reading, can we read anything or only the theme of last task
Janeylou wrote: "When we have finished last task but carry on reading, can we read anything or only the theme of last task"It has to fit the task for it to count. 😊 If you are in a tie-breaker situation, it might matter how much you read, but if you aren't then just completing the task is enough.
MKat - would Animals > Dogs be acceptable? I’m on my phone and can’t seem to get to the entire tags list.
Kat with our task. Do we continue reading from that series if we continue reading?

April wrote: "Kat with our task. Do we continue reading from that series if we continue reading?"For your task, you each need to read a book from the series to complete the task. You got the task yesterday, so you would get the last task tomorrow if everyone has read a book for the current task and you post the completion. 😊
Ryland has disappeared from our team. We haven't heard from Ryland since the 28th of April. We finished the task 3 days ago so I believe that means we can check in with just the 3 of us.BUNS ON THE RUN

I know there is some discussion about whether midnight is the end of one day or the beginning of the next. But for this challenge we are making it at the end of the day - so in a little under 26 hours from now.
Loitering Layabouts (7) is done with our last task!!
Oops, wrong thread! *headdesk* ;p
Hey everyone! It's getting late so I'm not going to make it through all the teams tonight. I will post the final results tomorrow. 😊
Sorry for the delay! Today is the day I go play with/babysit my grandson and he took a much shorter nap than he has been today.
