MountainKat | 31598 comments Here is your next task!

Task 6 - 29. Read over 750 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

Professions such as LEO, military or musicians are ok. Just don’t try to pass off a rancher and a chef as both being in the food industry - they are simply not close enough. Please include the selected profession in your completions post and to let me know how you know the book qualifies - title, precis, tags or lists, including links and any other necessary information. I need to know where to look to confirm your books. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

Aoife | 690 comments I think we picked athlete for this didn't we?

Is that too broad, do we need to specify it down to a sport?

I've noticed when I read ebooks or physical books, I tend to read more if the chapters are short. Once the chapters take too long to end I start to struggle feeling like its never going to end.

I do watch a lot of TV so much TV that I actually have a spreadsheet for it to keep up with premier dates and what I am currently watching.

there are just not enough hours of the day to keep up with my book and tv addiction lol


message 188: by Aoife (new)

Aoife | 690 comments I use audiobooks a lot too! It's great during work especially when I'm working through something tedious but needs doing. Also handy for travelling I found - really nice to listen to books in the car cause I get annoyed/bored of the radio and listening to the same 4 songs they play

message 194: by Robyn (new)

Robyn (robyn_r) | 120 comments I really wish I could listen to audiobooks. It would just be so much easier. But my mind tends to wander and the few times I tried listening to an audio book I had to keep rewinding it because I missed everything.

Instead I am thinking about what I am having for dinner, scrolling Youtube and opening tabs for videos I want to watch

.....so yeah it totally ruins audiobooks for me

---------------------------------------------------------------

Aoife - I have been doing the same. Little by little I am adding my Goodreads TBR to a spreadsheet but I am only organizing by having tab for standalone, romance books and series along with genre for each book.

Apparently I like making more work for myself lol

~KarenH~ | 11338 comments Here is your next task!

Task 7 - 23. Each teammate reads a book that has been read by one of the RRRC moderators. No pass for this task.

To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be marked as read by one of the RRRC moderators. There is no date requirement for this task, but the selected book must be marked as read and rated. Please include a link to the moderator's review or read shelf in your completion posts. To make your searching easier - Fran, Jane, Karen and I all read MM Romance, but Jane reads MM exclusively. Fran, Karen and I read both MF and MM.

Fran's profile is private, but I'm sure she will accept any friend requests. 😊


Your completions haven't been checked yet, Kat will do that tomorrow, but she didn't want anyone slowed down because she's away for the day.
