MountainKat | 31598 comments Information required when posting your completion/s:

Task
Book/cover link
Page numbers with source
How book qualified, with links or cover as necessary.
Date Completed.
Rating/Review.


**Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count only! If your page count comes from a Kindle edition published on the initial publication date on the editions page, it will count. If your page count comes from a Kindle edition labeled '1st edition', it will count. If your page count comes from the earliest dated English language Kindle edition, it will count. I am looking for one of those three things when confirming your books! As long the page count you list is correct, I will accept any link to the book. Ebook page count will be acceptable if no Kindle page count available. The acceptability of other page counts will be made on an individual basis.**

Please note that a rating is now required in your completion posts! A small review is also welcome. 😊

MountainKat | 31598 comments I think most of you know each other, at least a little, but feel free to introduce yourself again. Please give any relevant information, especially time zone as that helps know when it is best to communicate. 😊

Please select a team leader to help keep track of where your team is in any given task. And as necessary guide discussions for task decisions. Any teammate can report your completions though.

Remember, it is the team's responsibility to notify the host (me) if a teammate fails to complete the task in a timely manner or otherwise goes missing! I am not checking all the team threads regularly to notice and may only check when notified a task is complete.

PS - If you want to be known as anything other than 4 Fast Tarts, just let me know!

Michaele | 6544 comments I figured this might be a little easier for narrowing down - I've copied Lilliana's answers and will comment or add to it (or delete) - hopefully that is ok? I put * next to my additions.

Here are my answers and suggestions

1. Each player reads a book by the same author, teams decide author - no pass for this task.
Charlie Cochet,
Walker NR,
Sarina Bowen,
Lennox, Lucy
Hart, Riley
*I'm happy with any of the remaining options.


9. Each player reads a book in the same series, teams decide. No pass for this task.
Forever Wilde
*Four Kings Security


12. Recommendations *Are we each making recommendations?
Davo by N.R. Walker
Davo by N.R. Walker


29. Read over 750 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.
Military ? Hockey professional ? Bodyguard ?
*I'd be happy with any of these - Hockey Pro maybe?

49. Each teammate reads a book published in the same month and year, teams decide. No pass for this task.
Last year : 2021 ? Avril ?
*I'm happy with this.

51. Each teammate reads a different book by the same author, no pass for this task.
Charlie Cochet, Walker NR, Sarina Bowen,
*I'm happy with any of the remaining options.

52. Read 6 books with the same color cover, teams decide color.
Black, blue ? *Blue - but either works for me.

54. Read 6 books set on a beach or in the mountains, teams decide which.
Mountains ? *Beach might be easier, but I am happy with either.

55. Read 6 books set in the same country outside the US, teams decide country.
Canada ? UK ? *Either works for me

56. As a team, pick a list with over 100 romance books on it, each member reads a book from that list. No pass for this task.
*Best of M/M Gay Romance Audiobooks


58. Read 6 books published in the year one of the teammates joined RRRC, teams decide which teammate.
I join in 2022
*I joined in 2017

70. Read a minimum of 1200 pages in books of the same sub-genre, but by different authors.
MM fantasy ?
MM sport ?
MM suspense ?
*Of these 3 I'd prefer sports (but again, am happy with the others).

72- books published in the decade of a teammate's birth : suggestions ?
Perhaps someone younger than me because 70’s will be difficult for MM trope 😉
*I'm 70s too.

73. Read a minimum of 1500 pages in books by the same author, teams decide author.
Charlie Cochet, Walker NR, Sarina Bowen,
But also Nora Roberts,

75. Read over 1000 pages in books that start with the same letter (no articles), teams decide letter.

76. Read 6 books with a specific item on the cover, team selects item.
Gun ? Car ?
*An animal might be easier? A tattoo?

79. Read 6 books that have the same romance trope, teams decide which trope.
*Is long distance or an online meeting a trope? Friends to lovers or enemies to lovers are obvious choices - but I don't love either of those.

80. Read 4 books initially published in different decades.
*Do we each want to pick a decade? I am willing to do an earlier one - so we could do 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s. I can take 1990s.

82. Each teammate reads a different book from the same series.
In death ?
*Four Kings Security?

*I'm happy with cats.

96. Read a minimum of 1200 pages with the sun or the moon on the cover, teams decide which.

Thank you and perfect Michaele !! Some indications :

For task 12 : you have to make 5 suggestions of your own. For example I’ m going thought everybody shelfs to suggest 4-5 books you all didn't read. I only found 3 for now :)
You may suggest some of the same for sure .
I ll update the recap (message #8) with all our suggestions and conclusions


message 19: by Michaele (last edited Sep 11, 2022 01:16PM) (new)

Michaele | 6544 comments Ok, hopefully this works...
12. Recommendations

1. How to Be a Normal Person
2. Breakaway (this isn't my favorite in the series, but I figured it was easier to start at the beginning).
3. Upside Down

These are for Liza - since she has read all the others I've suggested -
4. Signs
5. Home & Away


message 20: by Michaele (last edited Sep 11, 2022 01:15PM) (new)

Michaele | 6544 comments Favorites

1. Socially Orcward (this is the last in a series -but it's my fav of the 3).
2. Dex in Blue (again, not the 1st in the series, but I really did not like the 1st in this series)
3. The Witness (a mf option)
4. Finders Keepers (super sweet, no angst at all - cute dog)
5. Honeymoon for One


message 21: by Michaele (last edited Sep 11, 2022 03:33PM) (new)

Michaele | 6544 comments 53. Each teammate reads a book set in one of your teammates' home town (born in, raised in, currently live in - all work), teams decide. No pass for this task.

We may need to make a decision on this one too - I think we need to pick one place and all read a book set there - unless I'm misunderstanding?

If we do need to agree, I'd say we shouldn't pick my hometown - It's possible to find mm romance set in Utah, but not easy!


message 22: by LillianaPassions (new)

LillianaPassions | 746 comments You right ! Thanks !
Mine is not easier : Paris (France)
I ll update the posts !

As I understand :
we need to choose 4 decades (so are 1990’s, 2000’s, 2010’s, 2020’s) and each of us will have to read a book from one of thoses
