I also listened to this book,


which takes place in England but I can't find anyway to prove it and it is just an audible book. I don't see page numbers or anything so I don't know if there is a way to use it.

Have we checked with Kat about this one?

[Vi]

I too checked but I can’t find any place where it says it’s set in UK. Both the author and narrator are British but I’m not sure if that will be enough.

I am just realizing that there is no place where it says it takes place in Scotland but the first book did and the series title says it so I hope this counts.

[Ariel]

Should I post with what we have?

EDIT: Kat answered back to the question with:

From message #15 of this thread:

Q: Are audio only books allowed for this challenge?
A: If the audio only book is at least 6 hours long - it will count as a book towards a book total or as 150 pages towards the page total depending on what the task requires.

I would need someway to confirm that the book is set in the UK for it to be used, I didn't see anything in the precis though.

I'm going to post about mine and see what she says.

Please correct to the first edition Kindle page count (368). Thanks.

Here is your next task!

Task 14 - 103. Read over 1500 pages in books tagged ‘family’.

Books selected for this task need to be tagged/shelved as 'family'. Variations of the word and combo tags will be allowed in context, 'familiar' or 'no-family' will not work as examples. Tags/shelves are the only qualification for this task. Please include a link to the top shelves page with the qualifying tag along with the exact tag, number of tags and the top shelves page number in your completion posts. This information is extremely helpful if the link is broken or the tag moves - and both happen frequently! Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

[Ariel]

I am going start with Tattered which is 372 pages.

[Vi]

The Assassin's Blade is my next read. It is tagged found-family by 12 people in page 6 so I'm going to go with this. Luckily I didn't start it yet. That is 446 pages.

So we need 1500-(446+372) = 682 pages more. Reminder to check the first edition kindle page count.

Great, Shia and Ariel!

This is the post from MKat:

LAST TASK - Teams 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 & 17

Read a book initially published in February or August of any year.

This year has a couple of major milestones for me - the kind that end in zero! One of those milestones occurred in February, my birth month. The other will happen in August, my anniversary month. So for this task, you will need to read books initially published in either of those month. 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. 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! Don’t forget to use the first edition Kindle page count!

Hey team! Since the final team listing has been posted, I just want to say how much I enjoyed had being on a team with you guys this round! You all did such a great job on all of your books! I hope you had as much fun as I did.

I believe the plan is for round 8 to happen in the at some point in the fall. If you guys are available at the time (I'll message you when it is officially announced as we get closer), I'd love to be on a team with you guys again.

[Shia]

Hi guys! This was so much fun! Thank you Ariel for your guidance through this as it was my first time! Looking forward to being in a group with you all again!

[Brittney]

Yes! Would love to do this again. It was a lot of fun.

[Vi]

I too had fun with all of you!
