How are you getting on with UNO amanda ?
It's going alright! We have 3 books left in the main part of the mini challenge, but a teammate is reading one of them right now, I'll finish one tonight and the last will probably be one we have can take from Uno Pixie for the teammate that hasn't shown up this month. (Or I might try to squeeze one in lol). For our regular hands and the letter tasks I've just been reading like 4 of Charlie Richards books (any that are 100 pages or more) a day to try to get everything done lol. I think we will finish but it will be such a stretch. I definitely like the challenge, but next time I'm gonna sign up for less books.
I don't think we're gonna get all the B bonuses done though. Is your team?
What is that about UNO pixie..one of ours not turned up all month ??Me and diane are reading like rabbits and we got 2 colour cards left which are being read and need 3 more challenge that i am doing and that will finish all the B bonuses as well .
Some of the others have upped there game because of our missing girl ..its been a good team and ive loved it . Think i signed up for 20 a month but i didnt realise there were other challenges
I signed up for 70 🤣 The color cards are what make it so hard because there are a lot less MM covers that fit. Your captain has to check in with the captains thread to say they have a missing player. Then the mods will reach out to them and ask them to check in and if they ignore all messages you get to pick up with some from the UNO pixie shelf (however many the person signed up for). I checked and yes, you signed up for 20. You're team Terminator right? It also looks like your captain never posted about you missing a player which is why you didn't get the Uno Pixie books.
Oh well we've nearly finished now so not worth it but will remember for next time
I have Janeylou down for the Pass on Task 21. And here is your next task!Task 22 - 70. Read a minimum of 1200 pages in books of the same sub-genre, but by different authors.
As a team select a sub-genre and then read books by different authors totaling at least 1200 pages in that sub-genre. Please include the selected sub-genre in your completion posts. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.
I'm about to start a Kiki Clark book, so will take that author! (Hope that's okay). Also, we're doing MM as the sub-genre I assume?
Completion Post Task 22 (Read a minimum of 1200 pages in books of the same sub-genre, but by different authors.)Book 1
The Alpha and His King by Kiki Clark
366 Pages
How it qualifies: Team chose MM as subgenre, only Kiki Clark book chosen
Date: 4/28/2021
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: Reading this book you would have no idea that it was written by a debut author. It has incredible world building, is well edited, and has a fully engaging story. Rick and Kai were both amazing characters, and the romance between them was well done. They have extreme chemistry from the very beginning, and when they come together it’s explosive. The pack politics were very interesting, and kept me turning pages almost as much as the romantic storyline (which isn’t often the case for me). I still have so many questions, but I hope the next book in the series is able to give some answers!
okay I really want to start that ARC of Unlovable BastardHave I lost my mind, but I can't find this on GR

Completion Post - Task 22 - 70. Read a minimum of 1200 pages in books of the same sub-genre, but by different authors.
Book 1
Fake It 'til You Make Out by Isla Olsen
Pages: 198
How it qualifies: Team choose MM as subgenre, only book by Isla Olsen
Completed: 29th April
Rating: 4.5
Review:
I'm so glad that I per chance discovered that there was an audiobook released since I read this book last year. I had an amazing time listening to Joel Leslie's narration!
Book 2
Heartscape by Garrett Leigh
Pages: 240
How it qualifies: Team choose MM as subgenre, only book by Garrett Leigh
Completed: 29th April
Rating: 3.5
Review:
I liked Tanner and Jax! They were both interesting characters who had been hurt in the past.
When they met there's something between them right from the start, but their past was holding them back. And I honestly understand why they were so reluctant to open up and get involved with someone. But for me, as the reader of this book, all this took too long, involved too many inner monologs and especially lacked this consuming emotional spark.
The start was great, the middle dragged, the ending was sweet.

We Met in Death by K.A. Merikan
Length: 274 pages
Read: 4/29/2021
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: Whoa, smokin'! I love the character combinations that the Merikans always come up with, and these two are a terrific blend of opposites-and-not-so-opposite. Great chemistry, and an exciting story.
So how has the first month if Scavenger hunt gone ???
I didn't finish my book today - we had contractors in so I just didn't have time.I'll complete it when I'm walking my pups tomorrow morning. :)

How about you Janeylou?
This year is HARD for SH. Plus I keep going to note points for last year's hunt lol. I've peeked at the for fun teams and a lot of people are still going pretty hard!
Well, for me it was my first month ever playing the hunt and I had an awesome time!! I'm really glad that there was the opportunity to sign up for a in it for fun team and a team share! I wouldn't have participated in otherwise, too afraid to let down a team...
Trio we all finished so its over to you now 😊

My goal was to try and get everything above 50 but find a really high one for the bonus , but wiith these new challenges happening well3 have to see what happens 😬😬😬
okay, I'm done - and I posted our completion in the main thread
Here is your next task!Task 23 - 77. Each teammate reads a book that the teammate after them alphabetically has rated 5 stars. No pass for this task.
Each of your reads a book read and rated 5 stars by the teammate after you alphabetically. There is no date requirement for this task, the book only needs to be marked as read and rated 5 stars. Please include a link to the teammates review in your completion post.
Amanda → Caipi → Janeylou → Trio → Amanda
So i read one of Trios ..off to hunt
Just need to finish my ptp book then need to decide between BAMF or
Murder in Pastel 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I would have picked Enforcing Emory but ive picked it fornthe hunt and cant start till saturday ..but glad to see you rated 5 stars
Oh yeah gotta eventually get to my PTP book 🤣
Wow, lots of 5 stars books for me to pick from, Janine! 😊
So do we think if there are five stars, but they put 4.5 in the review it still counts? (If not, sorry Trio because I do this a lot!)
Never thought of that ...lets try and find a proper 5 star one ....i do a lot of 4.5 /4.75 as welll 😄😄
Hm, I do this a lot too. But I think in the end should the actual full stars we rated a book with here on GR count for this task and not some differentiation we wrote in the review.
I asked in the Q&A because the first three books I looked at from you Caipi were all 4.5 🤣 I also don't want to accidentally choose a high point SH book because I'm okay with what I have for this month already. If 4.5 in the review is okay I'm going to do a relisten of How to Walk like a Man
Amanda, you'll know the answer to this so I don't have to bother Kat. Looking at Don't Fight the Spark, the earliest Kindle edition is April 26, 2019 and is 154 pageshttps://www.amazon.com/Dont-Fight-Spa...
one edition says 86 pages, with the same date: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
am I safe to go with this one?
Nope ): The original one doesn't have an ASIN, so I can't assume it's for the same one and update the page count. (I also actually remember this one originally being very short). Sorry!(But book 2 in that series is a standalone and amazing!).
