TART Challenge - Round 5 - Snakes on a Plane (14)

[Laura]

How’s it going, LaurLa? That was a re-read (not sure why I did), but I let my original rating stand, but I was a bit more anti-YA this read, so I probably would have gone with 3 stars if it was a first read. 🥴

I wobbled between 3 and 4 stars. I didn't LOVE it but it's a good story, start to a series and it wasn't too badly full of teenage angst, so the YA part didn't kill me ;-)

It doesn't have to be an audio, just available on audio. But if you just mean you can't read anything until Tuesday, that's fine :)

Louise wrote: "Checked us in"

I should have done that. For some reason I thought that we all had to read, and the 4 books had to be at least 600 pages. So, for tasks like this, as long as we hit the # of pages, that's all that matters?

I'm running really slow this morning, so I haven't checked your books yet. I will assign your next task anyway though. I will try to get caught up when I am awake enough that my eyes will work better. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyway... Here is your next task!

Task 6 - 3. Each player reads a book by a new to you author - no pass for this task.

To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be written by a new to you author. You may have other books by the selected author on your shelves, but only the book selected for this task can be marked as read/rated. Include a link to your read shelf in your completion post, ideally sorted to your selected author. Please make sure the book you read for this task is on your shelves and marked as read. If your profile is private, you will either need to open if for the duration of this task or friend me so I can confirm your book. If I cannot confirm your book, the task is not completed.

Here is your next task!

Task 8 - 33. Read 6 books in the same sub-genre, teams decide.

As a team select a sub-genre of romance and than read 6 books in that sub-genre. Please include the selected sub-genre in your completion posts.

[Laura]

Genre, not trope, right? I can do fantasy, contemporary, YA, NA. Or even Sci-Fi.

I’m assuming a MPG of Romance and another genre is all we need?

[Stacie]

Oh I thought it had to be one of those things that said Romance ---> Historical Romance (as an example). Let me see if anything is in the Q/A before I ask MK.
