19. Each teammate reads a book another teammate read and rated 4 Stars or higher in the last 3 months.


For this task, does series rule apply?

Hi Kat - for 'tagged favorite', can I read a book I tagged 'favorite' myself some time before the challenge started?

Yes. The series rule applies when picking from a teammate's shelf and that is essentially what you are doing. 😊

Yes, that will work.

I have finally got the tracking posts in the team threads and the early messages of this thread updated! 🥳

I will attempt to keep them current, but I'm sure I will miss copying something somewhere more than once before we are done! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

To all the teams that checked in over night or this morning - I have assigned your tasks, but not checked your books. I have to take my car in this morning to 'fix' something that didn't get done correctly on their end a couple of weeks ago when I had my windshield replaced. I'm not impressed...

Anyway, I'll be working on that and get the tracking posts updated when I get home this afternoon.

Hey Kat!

For 2. Each player reads the first book in a series, can be same or different series - no pass for this task.

Every teammates reads a book numbered 1 or lower in a numbered series listed on GR. Teammates can read the same or different series. Please include the series and number in your completion posts.

Does a book that is #1 in a series count if there is a lower numbered book? Love in O'Leary Series

Yes, as long as the selected book is numbered 1 or lower in a numbered series it will work.

Oh sorry Kat. That was my mistake. I thought it was enough that we finished the required amount of pages and was not aware that everybody had to contribute a book. I think Skye will post her book soon. Shall I refrain from starting the new book?
