What I understand is all of us must complete a book unless one of us uses a pass.

[Vi]

I have that I've been putting off forever. I'll (try to) read that. It's about 379 pages.

That is my understanding as well.

Also, Vi, I just picked that book up from the library so I'll be reading it in the next couple days as well! It's not the book I chose for this challenge though.

I chose Whiskey Chaser.


So, Shia, that means just pick a book with a duo author and you're good.

[Vi]

Ariel, that was the other book I was eyeing too. If the Lauren book doesn’t work out, I’ll jump into that.

Book: Scoring Wilder by R.S. Grey

How it Qualifies: author: R.S. Grey

Review: I went into the book expecting more of a sports romance. Unfortunately, soccer was not a major factor. Also, the "forbidden" factor felt highly manufactured without any proper reason to it.

Oh, thanks Ariel. It was annoying to do from phone.

[Shia]

First and most importantly, I hope your baby is getting better!!

And just a reminder that books have to be read completely after the task is assigned. You can't use a book you have already started and you can't use a book you've already read, unless you do a reread of course.

Here is your next task!

Task 9 - 51. Each teammate reads a different book by the same author, no pass for this task.

As a team select an author and everyone read a different book by the author. Make sure you don't select the same books!

[Vi]

I just finished the book from this author. Is everybody good with Jennifer L. Armentrout?

[Brittney]

I will do Wait for You by her 👍🏻

[Shia]

I’m good with it!

Got it! I won’t count it for this game (but I can definitely use it in my other challenges)!

[Shia]

I’ll read Scorched by JLA - I actually just started it and it’s a pretty quick read so I should finish it tonight!

[Ariel]

That choice is good with me.

[Vi]

Something's wrong with GR as I didn't get any of these notifications. Let me check back with the book I can read.

[Vi]

I'll be going with either or . Since we all have to read different books, let me know if any of you would like to read these.

Here is your next task!

Task 10 - 62. Read a minimum of 1000 pages in books written by an author whose first or last name begins with the first letter of a teammate's screen name.

Books selected for this task need to be written by an author whose first or last name starts with the first letter of a teammate's screen name. Do not use your own screen name for this task. Please include the matching teammate's name in your completion posts. This is not a team decision. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

[Vi]

Ooh, I got a little lucky. I have Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (B from Brittney). It is 400 pages.

[Ariel]

I'll be reading The Last Chance Matinee by Mariah Stewart (S in Stewart for Shia). It is 432 pages.

400 + 418 = 818

1000 - 818 = 182 so it should be pretty easy for Brittney and Shia to choose books. LOL
