**Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count only! 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. Ebook page count will be acceptable if no Kindle page count available. The acceptability of other page counts will be made on an individual basis.**
Please note that a rating is now required in your completion posts! A small review is also welcome. 😊
I think most of you know each other, at least a little, but feel free to introduce yourself again. Please give any relevant information, especially time zone as that helps know when it is best to communicate. 😊Please select a team leader to help keep track of where your team is in any given task. And as necessary guide discussions for task decisions. Any teammate can report your completions though.
Remember, it is the team's responsibility to notify the host (me) if a teammate fails to complete the task in a timely manner or otherwise goes missing! I am not checking all the team threads regularly to notice and may only check when notified a task is complete.
Pretty sure you are committed to this team name, but if you wish to change it just let me know!

For any of the recs for me or ones with favourites listed, could I ask that some of whatever is rec'd is also available in AUDIO? I seriously struggle to read - both a time issue and my eyes get really tired at night! Thanks!***

Kat said London, NY and LA stand on their own, but smaller cities would be state based and outside US would be country based (other than London, I guess).
I'll put your choices as the team choice for 53 & 55. We just need to be sure about which city / state we pick for 50...
So, I think we have agreed on the bears construction series where we can read any book, but I think we need a series ( with books over 150 pages) where we can each read a different book in the series
The Vino & Veritas series has a bunch of books that are over 150 pgs. I've read a couple that were good.

They're all written by different authors and probably do connect with the characters but I don't think they have to be read in any order.
Lisa wrote: "Did we decide on an author? I still have a Walker book I could read if we want to keep her"I have a Walker book as well.

Yes - I do as well, but we have Australia down as one of the locations so you may want to hold on to it for that - or leave it as one of the last author (not same series) options.
Lisa wrote: "Did we decide on an author? I still have a Walker book I could read if we want to keep her"The other frontrunners were Isla Olsen and Lucy Lennox.
I just listed some 'light' author options here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
and Shannon noted these two were her preferences...
I will tidy up our selections required tomorrow. I'll make some arbitrary decisions and the rest of you can tell me if you want something else ;)So otherwise we just need a few authors to run through
AND
Donna and Lisa and I need to:
1. make a recommendation to other team mates of a book to read (suggest you use of the 'to read' lists of those teamies if you need help ;) ~ #12
2. list 5 favorite books that you recommend. ~#99
Yes, thats my plan today. I got back from France last Sunday and back to work Monday. Havent had alot of time free.

My last N R Walker book wasn't set in Australia... (I am pretty sure I still have several that I can read... but any other author works for me, also... you guys decide!) *grin*
OK - so how about we have authors listed as:Lucy Lennox, Isla Olsen and Pandora Pine.
For same series, any book:
Four Bears Construction
Same seres, different books:
Vino & Veritas

I just wanted to note that I have pretty much read everything that Macy Blake has out and I would prefer not to read Lisa Oliver right now, but I can if you guys want to!
Susi Hawke works well for me and I still have a few Lucy Lennox that I can read... if that helps narrow the list down! *grin*
