Yes, but everyone needs to complete every task unless they use their one pass per round of this challenge. Some tasks do not allow the pass to be used.

From the initial post in the signup thread:

"Each teammate will need to participate in each task, but may take a pass for one task during the course of the challenge. For some tasks, no passes will be allowed. "

Kat did you miss our completion post? Team 10 posted here 15 hours ago: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I only ask because you gave team 6 a new task already.

Hi Kat
We got this as our task: Task 4 - 16. Read a minimum of 750 pages in books tagged/shelved as children.
The 750 is crossed out so just want to check what the correct page count is?

I don't know why that was struck through - sorry about that. I will go correct and comment in the team thread.

Hey everyone, I'm about to run out the door this morning. But I am getting my hair done, so I will be sitting for a while there and can assign new tasks then. I have everything loaded on my phone, but won't be able to check books until I get home later this afternoon.

Just wanted to let you all know!

We are ready for the next task. Hope this format works.

I believe I have assigned new tasks to all the teams who are eligible for one. Team 9 has to wait another day.

PLEASE let me know if I’ve missed something or if I gave a duplicate task.

For… Task 5 - 25. Read 4 books written by one of the 2021 FACs (Featured Author Challenge)

I went to go ask this and might have found my answer in the Q/A…assume this applies to authors as well?

Q: Can teammates read the same book for a task?
A: There are a couple of tasks where the team needs to read different books, but if it doesn't specifically say that you are free to read the same book.

Do we need to read 4 different authors for our task above?

Yes, that will work.

No, you each can choose whichever author is most appealing - even if you all choose the same author or the same book.

I will try to get the tracking posts updated in the team thread and in this thread over the next day or so. I always wait a bit so that I can see which teams are going to need the most space. 😊

Hey Kat! our new task:

Task 7 - 25. Read 4 books written by one of the 2021 FACs (Featured Author Challenge).

Read a book written by one of 2022’s FACs (found in the monthly challenge.) You may also read a book written by a pseudonym of the FACs or co-written by one of the FACs.

Authors for 2022:
January - Emma Chase
February - Eve Langlais
March - Lucy Lennox
April - Avery Flynn
May - Kerrigan Byrne
June - Lily Morton
July - Kylie Scott
August - Lorraine Heath
September - Kim Fielding
October - Kristen Painter
November - Shana Galen
December -Alice Winters

it says 2021 in the initial task but the description and list are 2022...which is correct? 😁 We're assuming 2022 since that's the year we actually have a list of authors for...

Yes, 2022 - I meant to change that but forgot... Too many things going on. If you went with 2021, I will allow that too
