That was difficult, but I am going to say no. The task specifies Romance lists and even though much of this would be considered romance, the description doesn't really fit either.
Hi everyone! I wanted to let you all know that hubby and I are going to be heading out tomorrow morning to visit our son and his family on the other side of the country. So, I won't be quite as regular in checking in here, but will still try to do so twice a day. My hours will also be different - I will be on Eastern Time instead of Pacific and that adjustment is never easy for me!Please be patient, but do not hesitate to let me know if I miss something! Tomorrow is a travel day so that will have more impact than the other days.

The US Open is mentioned in the blurb and Carrie spends the majority of the book training in California. Thanks

Thanks "It works, with the US Open mentioned. But there is also a 'set-in-california' tag, currently on page 60.

Story Squad, team 9, would like to request another task, please. Task assigned has been recently completed
MK, if the cover has part of a car or truck, enough to know that it is such, will that be enough to qualify?
Laura wrote: "Story Squad, team 9, would like to request another task, please. Task assigned has been recently completed"My apologies! I will correct in your team thread.
Question for Task 10 for Wahredua Wildcat Wild Readers:You can do the recommendations however you wish - to the group, to each individual, to the person below you on the list or ?? - it's up to you. If you want to provide a specific shelf to pick from, it needs to have a minimum of 10 books on it.
We decided to just have each team member list a few books for everyone else to pick from - does this mean we all need to list at least 10 books? Or does the above description just mean that if we created a shelf with all our recs combined, that it would need to contain at least 10 books?

I am so sorry for the delay in answering!! Your message came in as I was answering another question and I thought I was caught up. It means if you create a shelf for someone to pick from there needs to be at least 15 books on it.
Hi Kat! For Task 13 - 64. Read 6 books not set on a continent of a teammate. Space does not count - must be a real continent.
If a book has 2 settings listed on the main page, 1 on a continent that qualifies and one that doesn't (Africa and N. America in this case), can it be used or does it have to be set entirely on a continent where no teammate lives?
Thanks!

If one works, the book works.
I believe I am caught up with assigning tasks and questions - please let me know if I missed something!!I will work on getting things checked and the tracking updated as I have the time (during naps!). Thanks for your patience!
Great...thanks! I was pretty sure that was the case, but with the way it's worded (not set on a continent of a teammate), I wasn't confident enough to have someone just go with it!
MKat for 36. Read 6 books with animals on the cover: will you accept a dragon as an animal? Or a bat?
LaurLa wrote: "MKat for 36. Read 6 books with animals on the cover: will you accept a dragon as an animal? Or a bat?"Okay, I now see the clarification in the task info that mythical creatures count, so I'm going to assume dragons are good. Sorry for the extra questioning.
Just double checking. When we get a new task, if we’re already reading a book that fits, can we use it?
Laura wrote: "Just double checking. When we get a new task, if we’re already reading a book that fits, can we use it?"No, books cannot be started until the task is assigned.

A task like this:Read over 450 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.
We are only 2 team members - if our books are not long enough can one of us read a 2nd book (so 3 in total) to get the pagenumbers up to the 450?

Absolutely!
To everyone who posted their completions in the last 12 hours - I should have assigned your next task, but I haven't checked your completions. I got caught up last night, but we are about to run out the door this morning. I should have some time later today. 😊
Question on Major City: What if the only way to identify the city with the title/precis is with a well known building? for example: Secret Service by Tal Bauer. One MC is the President of the US. that would put the city as Washington DC.

(The precise does mention the Oval Office, but not the building.) I can say that Secret Service does have a 'washington' tag on page 4.
