MountainKat | 31636 comments Here is your next task!

Task 7 - 35. Read 6 books first published between 2011 and 2020.

Books selected for this task need to have been initially published between 1.1.2011 and 12.31.2020. If there is a date 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 the initial publication date in your completion posts.

Peggy (peggydow) | 69 comments You know I am a newbie at this task. Does the read 6 books mean that as a team we read 6 books? So at the extreme end of things, one of us could do the whole challenge and the other three could sit around the pool and drink tropical beverages?
I just want to understand the rules :) And maybe drink tropical beverages with little umbrellas.

Yes, since it doesn't say "no pass" then we can choose to use a pass for this round and the rest of the team would make up the 6 books. Since probably none of us will pass, then we would each read 1 and then the first to finish could start on the second. So in the end 2 people would read 2 books and two one book. But if someone is a speed reader and got through 3 books, then the other three could just read one each. Basically any math to get to the 6 books. But unless someone passes, each of us have to read at least one - that's my understanding at least :)

I just started A Hard Call so I should finish it by afternoon (for me) tomorrow.

I loved the mystery, but the love story felt rushed. Maybe it's just me and I wasn't in the mood for instalove. I will definitely read on in the series though.

Here is your next task!

Books selected for this task need to have titles that are three words long. For this task, articles and ampersands count in the word total. For example The Family Gathering, Cut & Run and Judgment in Death are all 3 word titles.

Skye Blue ☆*~゚ლ(´ڡ`ლ)~*☆ (surendraskye) | 839 comments I made something silly today.
I couldn't find a pattern so I figured it out myself.
I crocheted a scrotum drawstring bag.
I was going to give it to my son to hold his DnD dice.
My oldest son now wants me to make another one, but with some hair.
