Here is your next task!Task 11 - 52. Read 6 books with the same color cover, teams decide color.
As a team select a color, then read 6 books with covers that are primarily the selected color. Books selected need to be clearly and obviously the selected color! You can use any edition’s cover to qualify. Please include the chosen color and the qualifying cover in your completion posts.
How did you guys want to go about deciding on a color?My favorite color is blue as well but both of them would probably work well with this challenge.
I would say just like glancing at my kindle / tbr there seems to be way more blue covers but we can do black if that's easier for people. I'm good either way
I am going for a quick vacation today. Back on Sunday. I'll try to finish atleast 1 book. Luckily, I have 1 blue book waiting for me.

Wow. You guys are on fire!! I'll be done with my book hopefully today. I have barely any time to read as I'm out the whole day.
I am waiting on confirmation for my book that I have finished. Do you guys think this is enough blue?

Here is your next task!Task 12 - 90. Each member reads a book published in sequential months, i.e. June, July, August and September 2019. Teams decide which months. No pass for this task.
Books selected for this task need to be published in sequential months. The months can cross over from the end of one year to the beginning of the next. You will be using the initial publication date for this task. 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 selected dates in your completion posts.
I have these 3 books on hand. Can this work as a starting point? I'm good with choosing others months/year also.Vespertine - Published Oct 2021
Daughter of No Worlds - Published Jan 2020
Happy Place - Published April 2023
Rise of Gods - Published May 2016
Oh, wow, I didn't realize that Happy Place was only recently published. I am good with Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr or Feb, Mar, Apr, May, if that works. Unless you guys want to go as far back as 2016?
Haha yeah, I'm trying to clear off stuff from my Kindle and the library so old(er) stuff is also there.
Shia and I could decide between Mar and Feb so yeah, that totally works for me, if it works for Shia.
