I'm working on a third book. If we need it we'll have it, and if not, that's fine too.

Here is your next task!Task 23 - 104. Read 8 holiday books.
The qualification for this task can be the generic 'holiday' or specific like Christmas or Halloween. Holiday needs to be the American type of holiday as opposed to the British. Qualification can come from the title, series, precis, tags or lists. Remember to let me know how you know the books work so I know where to look to confirm them. Please include any info or links as necessary.
I have a TON of holiday (mostly Christmas) books to choose from...I'm a sucker for a sweet, sappy holiday story! I've started with
(almost done) and I have lots of choices of short ones to continue with. I can read however many we need for this task. Well, I might be in trouble if the rest of you all pass... 😂😂😂

As soon as I saw the call, I knew exactly which one I wanted. I had put a book on my TBR about an ornament designer that I've really wanted to get to. Only thing was I couldn't remember the name! But somehow I totally lucked out and it was the third book I checked 😃.
So I'm reading

You're welcome! And you didn't change your qualification after the copy/paste!
thanks for catching that. Doing too many things at once. I was trying to meal prep for the week, but wanted to post my completion b/c usually I'm tired after I prep.
After i wrote that post above, I thought to myself "why does meal prepping make me tired." LOL makes no sense. But then it dawned on me that most people prep for lunch...for work. I prep breakfast, lunch and dinner. LOL 🤦♀️ That's why it takes me so long and I'm tired afterwards.

All those holiday books and not one was for Halloween!
MountainKat wrote: "All those holiday books and not one was for Halloween!"I only had one Halloween book on my radar and I read it earlier in the challenge!
I'll ready my two, but I can also read a third if someone doesn't want to read 2 books.
Chan wrote: "I'll ready my two, but I can also read a third if someone doesn't want to read 2 books."Me too. I have a bunch on my M&G list that qualify, but most are on the longer side. I can finish 2 with no problem, and if needed can do a third but it might require a bit of a push tomorrow.

I'm reading a third in case we need it.
Yeah, the book I'm currently listening to works also...I only have about 3 books left on my M&G list that DON'T work for this task, so it was going to happen whether we need it or not! 😁
haha...okay. great. i'm so glad you are reading one, Karen. I was half way through, but I needed to focus and had to stop listening. It's going to be a late night at the office.
Chan wrote: "haha...okay. great. i'm so glad you are reading one, Karen. I was half way through, but I needed to focus and had to stop listening. It's going to be a late night at the office."Ugh, that doesn't sound fun! I've only got a little over an hour left in my third book, so we're good.
I'm almost done with mine. Should finish up when I put the kids to bed tonight. Only have 20 pages left
Courtney wrote: "I'm almost done with mine. Should finish up when I put the kids to bed tonight. Only have 20 pages left"Shoot...I forgot to post my 3rd one! I'll get that done before I head for bed so everything will be ready for when you finish yours.

I was logging on to say i can finish my third book today, but we are done and checked in 😊
Here is your next task!Task 25 - 73. Read a minimum of 1500 pages in books by the same author, teams decide author.
As a team, select an author and read 1500 pages in book by the selected author. Please include the selected author in your completion posts. Pseudonyms are acceptable, but if used, please include a link to the author's page or website showing they are the same person. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.
This is what we have:73. Read a minimum of 1500 pages in books by the same author, teams decide author.

I haven't checked for sure, but I'm thinking most of their books aren't long enough that we can rely on meeting the total page count with just one book each, so I'll tentatively plan on reading 2.
