Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I'm pretty sure it's Romance and then something listed after it based on what other teams have done. So it will need to say Romance -->sub-genre.

I can do contemporary romance, historical romance or fantasy romance.


message 152: by Laura (new)

Laura | 1148 comments Okay. I might have to look a little bit more, but I can still do what I said above.


message 153: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) So to recap so it's all on one page.

Laura: fantasy, contemporary, YA, NA. Or even Sci-Fi.
Stacie: fantasy, contemporary

I think contemporary might be easiest but we'll see what LaurLa and Louise say!

They only display like this on the main page, not on the Top Shelves pages. I'm going to ask MK if Contemporary Romance or Paranormal Romance work for this one, or if they need to be formatted like you showed. I have some newer releases which don't get tagged a lot, so end up with not very many MPGs.

MKat says it doesn't have to be formatted like the MPG set-up, so if we go with Contemporary, we just need a Contemporary Romance tag.

I don't think you can use When Summer comes, if you were already reading it when we got the task, right?

Right. Has to be started after we decide.


message 159: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) Got it. So three votes contemporary (I think). Louise are you okay with that?


message 160: by Louise (new)

Louise | 1131 comments I can do contemporary; fantasy; paranormal; historical; sci-fi (at a push)

That’s right it needs to have been started after the task was called


message 162: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I think Louise and I posted at the same time. Sounds like we're good with contemporary.


message 163: by Laura (new)

Laura | 1148 comments Works for me. I’ll start one as soon as I finish my Dystopia book for Prison Riot.


message 164: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 5085 comments Just FYI, I did actually start reading after the call. I had just started it up when I posted. But I'll read something else if I need to be safe.

Here is your next task!

Task 9 - 46. Read over 1000 pages in books written by duo authors.

Books selected for this task need to be written by two authors. If both authors names are listed on the main book page/cover, then just list the authors as your qualification. If the two authors write under a pseudonym such as Ilona Andrews, then include a link to the pseudonym's profile page or a website showing the pseudonym is two authors. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

Here is your next task!

Task 10 - 9. Each player reads a book in the same series, teams decide. No pass for this task.

As a team, select a series listed on GR and everyone reads a book in that series. (Does not have to be a numbered series.) Please include the selected series in your completion posts. Teammates can read the same or different books for this task. No pass for this task.

Elder Races - Thea Harrison
Gansett Island - Marie Force
Fatal - Marie Force

message 194: by Laura (last edited May 14, 2022 02:13PM) (new)

Laura | 1148 comments Yikes!

I could listen to an old In Death book (not my preferred option).
Currently re-listening to Innkeeper Chronicles, but I could do any Ilona Andrews series.
I’m almost done with Anne Bishop’s The Black Jewels series.
I’ve got a library loan for one from Wayfarers (I think that’s the series:The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet).
I can do any Nalini Singh series - I’m always up for a Guild Hunters re-listen.
Penny Reid - any series
Julia Quinn - anything other than Bridgerton (read them all).
Tamora Pierce - any series

From LaurLa’s list, I can do Wallflowers.


message 195: by LaurLa (last edited May 14, 2022 02:28PM) (new)

LaurLa | 5085 comments I could do Penny Reid - Winston Brothers or the not Bridgerton Julia Quinn


I'm open to other ideas, was just throwing ideas out there.


message 196: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I'll fix my books later when I'm on a laptop.


message 197: by Louise (new)

Louise | 1131 comments I can do:
Penny Reid - Beauty and the Mustache (#0 Winston Brothers; #4 Knitting in the City)

Julia Quinn - any

Women's Murder Club - James Patterson - just bought the latest one
Wallflowers - Lisa Kleypas

Gansett Island - Marie Force


message 198: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I can make penny Reid work


message 199: by Laura (new)

Laura | 1148 comments So, we’re doing Winston Brothers?


message 200: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 5085 comments Looks like! Although Louise and might have our own side task with Women’s Murder Club 😃😃
