From the Q&AQuestion Message 30:
Hey Kat!
Does the series rule apply when we have to read recommendations from teammates? Thinking specifically of these two:
12. Read a book recommended to you by a teammate - no pass for this task.
99. Each teammate lists 5 favorite books. Select books from 2 different teammates and read them.
Answer Message 35
For #12 you can do the recommendations however you wish, so it shouldn't be necessary. But it would be ok.
#99, series rule does apply.
Thanks Caipi..shows how much i know 😄😄

Review: This is probably my least favorite in the series arc, but that's just because it hurts a lot. I felt like there is a lot of backsliding by Somers and I just want to protect Hazard lol.
Finished my book and updated my post to completion.
I took my daughter out for the day so I didn't get a chance to listen at all. We had a lovely day though, we visited her bestie at her college upstate, and we had a wonderful walk through the wilds. Then a nice lunch where we got to sit outside... I've been cherishing each nice weather day since we've had so much rain!
That sounds lovely!The three of you are very good role models to a new mom. You all seem to have very special relationships with your children ❤️
that's really nice of you to say Amanda :)yes, they truly are gifts, aren't they!
I posted our completion on the main thread

Review: What an ending!! And J.F. Harding’s narration?! Perfection. It hurt so good at times, and even though I have come to expect that from Ashe, I'm still caught off guard every time. It's smarty and witty with the Shakespeare tie-ins, great banter, and of course, Fer's insults. The romance is tough won, but this installment is so necessary to get them where they need to go. And while the mystery does take a little more of a backseat, it is in no way less interesting and Thuggie is put through the physical ringer just as much as an emotional one. Absolutely amazing from start to finish!
