Here is your next task!

Task 13 - 54. Read 6 books set on a beach or in the mountains, teams decide which.

As a team decide if you are going to read books set in the mountains or on a beach, then read 6 books with the selected setting. Please include the selected setting in your completion posts. Remember to let me know how you know your books qualify, be it title, precis, tags or lists. I need to know where to look to confirm your books!

[Peggy]

I was looking at the spreadsheet, we chose mountains, right? It is a bit unclear to me.

[Ashley GR]

I think this is one we needed to vote on. I’m ok with mountains.

[Peggy]

I will vote mountains.

[Ashley GR]

Emeli and Skye are you ok with mountains?

[Skye Blue ☆*~ﾟლ(´ڡ`ლ)~*☆]

I'm good with Mountains.

Is this a mountain? I think it is...see how high the trees are in the background?



Yup, yup, I think that's a mountain.

[Emeli]

Christmas Mountain is my home. But it’s the one place on earth I never imagined seeing Rami Stone again, and now I’m snowed in with him. Trapped, with only a roaring fire for company, and it’s a fantasy come true. The air is thick with more than snow and the eighteen months we’ve been apart fades away.

I’m out but can post later when I get back to my computer. If someone else wants to post go ahead.

I think today is the last day of the challenge.

Ashley, you did an amazing job.
Thanks everyone, I had fun.

Thank you
I hope we can play again next year.

My apologies - I had an early appointment this morning.

Here is your last task!

Last Task: Read books by authors whose first or last name begins with the first letter of your team name.

Books selected for this task need to be written by authors whose first or last name begins with the first letter of your team name. For this task, books with page counts in multiples of 150 will count as more than one book. For example if your book is 300 pages - it will count as 2 books, if the book is 450 pages - it will count as 3 books, and so on. So don’t be afraid to read longer books! Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count!

Remember completion posts with errors or missing elements will not count towards your team total or the completion of this task. The task will be considered ‘completed’ when each team member has completed one book for this task, additional books will count towards a tie breaker if necessary. Help each other out by double checking posts are complete with the first edition Kindle page count!

There is no need to post a team completion in the Q&A thread, I will be checking all team threads at the conclusion of the challenge. 😊

[Ashley GR]

Ah! Just realized we need two more mountain books! I think I read 2 that qualify so I’ll post later today.

[Ashley GR]

Thanks Skye! I’m sure I could have been more engaging - I didn’t realize how busy I’d be moving. Our stuff just arrived here in England yesterday so thankfully I’m through the packing part but now I will be unpacking for the rest of my life it seems. I’m tearing through audiobooks as I work, but not online very much. We won’t have internet for another week or so, ha! On another note, I bought a ticket to RARE London so that’s exciting.

[Ashley GR]

Question: Vino and Veritas series- they take place in Vermont, would this count as mountains?

Thanks Helke! I’ve been without internet for days -finally moving to England! - and so I’m just catching up lol!

[Helke]

So it is moving time now. Glad you will have it behind you soon. Where do you move to? I know you told us but I can't remember. Sorry.

[Ashley GR]

Yes it’s finally time! Took forever to get everything finalized. We are back in Italy this week and then fly to England on Saturday with the kids. We are renting a place in farnborough.
