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

[Louise]

I’ll have mine finished today, I’ll have to search for a second one

[Laura]

I’ve got tons that fit already checked out from KU, so I don’t mind doing it if it’s a search for others.

[Stacie]

I have a 2nd and 3rd one if needed.

How it fits: published December 7th 2021

[LaurLa]

Laura and Stacie, if you each do a 2nd one and Louise gets hers finished, we should have our 6, right? Thanks for volunteering to do more than one. I'm running out of shortish 2021 books!

[Stacie]

Yep. But I also can do a third if Louise can't do a second. I don't think there's a limit.

[Laura]

I’m good for a second. I feel behind on releases from one of my favorite authors. So now I’m catching up!

[Stacie]

I'm about halfway through a second right now

[Laura]

I’m 1/3 through. But I’m not sure what I was doing last year, other than pre-ordering books I didn’t read. I also have Ilona Andrews’ Fated Blades on audio. I’ve got 2 hours left in that. My audio time is more limited, so I’ll post whichever I finish first.

I finished my book in the wee small hours of the morning, before I went to sleep. I can post it if you’re not done, Stacie?

I'm not anywhere near done. Since we have enough I think I might DNF. I was pushing through but man, it's not good

[Laura]

Okay. I’m still waking up, but I should be alert enough to post sometime in the next hour.

Here is your next task!

Task 14 - 54. Read 6 books set on a beach or in the mountains, teams decide which.

As a team decide if you are going to read books set in the mountains or on a beach, then read 6 books with the selected setting. Please include the selected setting in your completion posts. Remember to let me know how you know your books qualify, be it title, precis, tags

[Laura]

I’m open to either. I have Jill Shalvis for beach, and I have some Mountain Men books.

[Stacie]

I think beach is easier for me but I'll go with the majority

[LaurLa]

I swear every task we get I have JUST finished a book that would work either that day or the day before!


I don't care on this one. None of the books I want to read right now are set either place so whatever we decide I'll have to go searching.

ETA: checking with MKat if my San Fran book works for beach.

[Laura]

Your San Francisco book is a go, LaurLa.

[LaurLa]

Let's let Louise weigh in on what she might want.

[Stacie]

I ofc found a bunch with mountains while looking for beach haha. I'll wait to see what Louise wants to do

[Louise]

My PTP book for this week is set in Seaside, Oregon so I can do beach setting

[Laura]

Beach it is!

[Laura]

I plan to read 2. I think I'll have them both finished today. Anybody else have a second one?

[Stacie]

I have two I can read.

I'm starting another later today - so we'll see who gets done first! Not likely to be me but letting you all know just in case.

Mine is 500+ pages so I won't finish today as I haven't even started haha

I’m starting a different one that works, and also fits my Tower Maze. If needed, I can go back to the one I started last night after.
