Please add the first edition Kindle page count (691). Thanks.
Here is your next task!Task 11 - 23. Each teammate reads a book that has been read by one of the RRRC moderators. No pass for this task.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be marked as read by one of the RRRC moderators. There is no date requirement for this task, but the selected book must be marked as read and rated. Please include a link to the moderator's review or read shelf in your completion posts. To make your searching easier - Fran, Jane, Karen and I all read MM Romance, but Jane reads MM exclusively. Fran, Karen and I read both MF and MM.
Fran's profile is private, but I'm sure she will accept any friend requests. 😊
I'm sure you all know how to do this but I thought I'd share just in case: Using the Compare function made my search take about 1 minute. Let me know if you don't know how to do it and I can try and list the steps. I found at least 8 books from my monthly tbr, so not sure which one I'll use just yet.
I didn’t get a notification on this thread when we got our task. Let me see what I’ve got!
I'm planning to read Lover Enshrined for another challenge and it's on Kat's read list so probably use it. Be a couple of days until I get to it though.
I was planning to read Almost Just Friends (not for ticket exchange, but that is why I originally grabbed it from the library). MKat read it in 2020. I should be able to start this afternoon.
I will probably read Motorcycle Man because I need to read for PtP as well. Fran, Karen and Kat have all read it! But it will take me several days to finish.

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. 😊

Oops all corrected
Oh wow, the end date snuck up on me! I started a different book yesterday not realizing the challenge ended today. I might be able to finish an S author tonight. But with Stacie out of town with no online access, maybe we just won't be able to finish this task anyway.Of course, I finished an S author same day the task was announced... isn't that how it always works?
Lol, LaurLa! Stacie’s not playing with us this round!I will have 1, maybe 2, finished today. We’re starting our road-trip today, so I’ll be posting in the evenings from now on.
