If we're short my other book will qualify as well. Are you still reading Marked? I stopped reading that series around book 3 or 4. It's kind of garbage 😆
I was seriously compelled to continue but they just weren't that great. I don't know what the Cast's do to their books to make them addicting but TBH the writing is 🤷‍♀️

[Christina T]

I was wrong. I didn't even get to the 3rd book lol.

I'm actually re-reading it because I could get it easily on audio and it works for another challenge. I did not make it past the first book. :) I think I remember liking it -- but there was so much out there better, that I never got back to it. It's a little better on audio so far....

[Apoorva]

Really sorry for the late response! I had started a Christina Lauren book earlier but only to got to updating on GR today :')

I'll be finished with it in a few hours now. It's well over 300 pages so ig the total would exceed 1000

Task Task 10 - 46. Read over 1000 pages in books written by duo authors.

Date Completed. 6/2
Rating/Review. 4 Stars I had been curious of Hadleigh's story for awhile as she has been in other books. When Psycho finds out that Hadleigh's pregnant, he does the unthinkable and reacts in a way that has Hadleigh leaving town and starting over. The problem is that Psycho realizes his mistake immediately and wants her back, but can she trust him again? Pretty good story, Psycho was definitely a jerk.

[Apoorva]

Seems like we reached 1000 in just 3 books so I'll post it in the thread.

[Christina T]

Arpoorva--Everyone has to complete the task unless they take a pass.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Just a reminder, every teammate needs to participate in every task unless they use their pass. Since Stacey hasn't posted a completion or said she was using their pass, I am not sure what the plan is. So...

I will post your next task now, but allow Stacey to determine if they will be using the pass or posting a completion. Either will work for me. As the challenge is nearing its end, using the pass isn't as scary.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Here is your next task!

Task 11 - 58. Read 6 books published in the year one of the teammates joined RRRC, teams decide which teammate.

Books selected for this task need to be initially published in a year one member of the team joined RRRC (not GR), the teams decide which member. You can find the year you joined RRRC on the members page for the group. Make sure you use the initial publication date for this task. 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 teammate, the year they joined RRRC and the initial publication date of you chosen books in your completion posts.

10.6.2010

[Apoorva]

So these are the years:

Apoorva--member since May 03, 2021
Christina--member since Sep 07, 2015
Emily--member since Oct 06, 2010
Stacey--member since Mar 03, 2017

ig 2017 and 2015 would be good choices - we can find something for 2010 and 2021 too but those years might have the best books

[Christina T]

I like either but will go with 2017 to have a hard vote.

[Apoorva]

2017 works for me too

[Emily]

I can find one from 2017

Here is my shelf from 2017

I think since I skipped around the series a bit that this one I did not feel like I was connecting to the characters, it was good but definitely formula from previous books.

[Emily]

I have another one I can do today.

[Christina T]

BTW...I'll have mine done today.

Rating/Review. 4 Stars, reread for me but I liked the sassiness of Aiden and how she is stood up on her date and meets Mason Dean. Mason is a man who determined to have Aiden in his life. Great story.

[Christina T]

Well we tied for last place LOL 😆 but I had such a good time with you all! Thanks for being a great team.

[Emily]

Thats ok. Is this one done now?

[Christina T]

Yep all done!

[Stacey]

Thank you for helping me through my first time playing! This was the perfect speed for me. I may need to wait until I retire to play again! :P

[Emily]

Cool, thanks everyone this was fun
