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

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I can't check completions this morning - I'm seeing two of everything. It is all I can do to try and make sure there aren't any typos in this...

Here is your next task!

Task 16 - 80. Read 4 books initially published in different decades.

Books selected for this task need to be initially published in different decades, though not necessarily sequential. For this task, decades will run 0-9, so 2010 through 2019 is one decade. Make sure to use the initial publication date. 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 your selected decade in your completion posts.

Looks like we need to coordinate a bit, right? Different decades for each of us.

I can easily do 2020-2029, 2010-2019, or 2000-2009. We’ve started packing up, so my physical books aren’t acceptable, so anything older is difficult.

[Laura]

Actually, my library has an ebook copy of Nora Roberts’ Born in Ice, so I could do 1990-1999.

[Stacie]

I can do 2010 to 2019 or 2020 to 2029. not sure I have anything prior easily available. Could look though.

[LaurLa]

I can do any. I have 1990's. 2000's, 2010's and 2020's


We'll see what works for Louise but I am open to any.

[Louise]

Both books I have with me only work for 2010-2019

[Laura]

I prefer my ‘90s option over my ‘00s option. Does this work for everyone?

Laura - 1990-1999
LaurLa - 2000-2009
Louise - 2010-2019
Stacie - 2020-2029

[LaurLa]

Works for me

[Stacie]

[Laura]

Oh wait, I realize your comment was made on Saturday, I just didn't see it until today... So yeah, waiting for today. Although I'm still not sure I'll get mine done until tomorrow anyway.

Please correct to the first edition Kindle page count (190). Thanks.

Here is your last task!

Last Task. Read books with a 5 in the first edition Kindle page count. No pass for this task.

Since this is Round 5 of The Amazing Race Team Challenge, books selected for this last task need to have a 5 in the first edition Kindle page count. Remember if there are multiple English language editions with the initial publication date or earliest Kindle publication date, you are free to use any of those edition’s page count.

Remember completion posts with errors or missing elements will not count towards your team total or the completion of this task. The task will be considered ‘completed’ when each team member has completed one book for this task, additional books will count towards a tie breaker if necessary. Help each other out by double checking posts are complete with the first edition Kindle page count!

There is no need to post a team completion in the Q&A thread, I will be checking all team threads at the conclusion of the challenge. 😊

There's no way I can finish a book with a five in the page count by tomorrow at the pace I'm reading this week.

I probably won't either. Turf Wars started is mostly in charge of my reading right now. :)
