**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.
PS - If you want to be known as anything other than Team 10, you are free to come up with a team name. 😉
Hi all. I'm just checking in. I guess I'll tell you a little about myself. I currently live in North Carolina, so I am in the EST. I usually only get on at night though. I have terrible internet speed during the day, so nighttime is usually the only time that works good for me.I love reading. I tend to read romance, horror, and fantasy the most. I'll also pick up thrillers and sci-fi if the book blurb sounds interesting. The first three are my favorite genres to read though.
Other than reading, I like to play games now and then. I also love to do paper crafts. I am limited on the amount of time I can sit at a table though due to a leg injury I received last year. I can walk some but am pretty much laid up in my recliner for a good portion of the day.
I don't tend to watch a great deal of tv. I do catch the anime they show on the Cartoon Network on Saturday though. I love anime and Korean dramas. I also love horror and fantasy movies a ton.
I tried to think up a couple of team names. I came up with:
Romance Racers
Racing Readers
Adventurers in Romance
Reading Addicts
They aren't the greatest, but I'll keep thinking and post if something else sounds good.
Has anyone ever done this challenge before? Who wants to be captain?
I think that is all I have for now.

actually books in this challenge don't need to be MPG Romance (unless that is specific task of course) last paragraph on first post in sign up thread:
There is a 150 page minimum for books, rereads and audios ok. Books may only be used once per player during the challenge. Players may read the same book for a task unless otherwise specified. Books do not have to be romance, but must be fiction.
Hi all, checking in.My name is Nikki and I live in Sydney Australia with my husband, 9 year old daughter, 1 dog and 1 cat.
I read mostly paranormal, paranormal romance but will also read ya, cozies, thrillers, contemporary and historical romances depending on my mood. I think I have played nearly every round of this game so far.
Happy for Charanya to be captain and let me know if you need help.
What my team did last round prior to starting was to identify questions for example 82. Each teammate reads a different book from the same series. so we could make some of those decisions early and save time once the challenge starts for reading:
i found this worked really well and saved us a lot of time throughout the challenge. This is also one of my favourite challenges so looking forward to it :-)
Charanya, thanks for volunteering to be captain. Nikk, that sounds like a really good idea. For #82 or similar challenges, we could make a post and keep track of who is reading what. I can work on doing that.
For series' where we each have to read a separate book, we will need to pick one where each book is part of the series but covers a different character or event. I'll mark down the numbers we need to look for books for and decide on. I should have that up by tomorrow night.
Below are the topics that we will need to make decisions on as a team. Many of them require choosing books based on your birth year or month. So, I think the easiest thing would be to start with everyone giving a couple of top choices for each of the questions. Then we can go back and see where everyone is leaning. I'll put my answers below the questions so you can kinda see what I mean. I'll try to pick stuff that everyone might enjoy since I know some of my book likes might not fit everyone's liking.1. Each player reads a book by the same author, teams decide author.

Oh , so each of us read books in our Favourite shelves?

Okayy..Lioness, sorry for the confusion
No problem. I'll have to see if I have a favorites shelf. I usually just rate the books I read and put them on their main genre shelf. So, I might have to create one.

Q18 : https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Q99 : https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Guys, I just wanted to tell you that I'm 9 and a half hours ahead of US EDT.. When MKat posts the tasks at 6PM , it'd be 3:30AM here.. I will be sleeping for atleast 3 hours after 😅..But , I will try to come online as soon as I wake up..
And, um...are we doing competitive or fun?I'm fine with both, but I do prefer competitive a little bit more..
We got our first task..Which month are we gonna read for?
0. Each teammate reads a book initially published in a fall month, teams decide which month.
As a team select a fall month. Fall this year is from September 22 through December 21 - so you may select September, October, November or December, then everyone reads a book initially published in the selected month of any year. For this task, use the initial publication date. If there is a date listed at the top of the editions page - use it! Otherwise I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition regardless of format for the qualification. Please include the selected month in your completion posts.
I personally like either October or December the most. I'll read any though. I can find books for Halloween or Christmas during those two months, which makes it funner.
I would like September please. I have a few books that came out this month I would like to read
Just to be clear, are we certain the books dont have to be MPG Romance?

I will be sleeping also because I work nights and get up until 8:30 pm CST.
