Please correct to the first edition Kindle page count (451). Thanks.
Here is your next task!Task 2 - 3. Each player reads a book by a new to you author - no pass for this task.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be written by a new to you author. You may have other books by the selected author on your shelves, but only the book selected for this task can be marked as read/rated. Include a link to your read shelf in your completion post, ideally sorted to your selected author. Please make sure the book you read for this task is on your shelves and marked as read. If your profile is private, you will either need to open if for the duration of this task or friend me so I can confirm your book. If I cannot confirm your book, the task is not completed.
I apologize for the delay. When I looked earlier this morning, GR wasn't showing me that there were any new posts in the Q&A thread. I just now noticed that the numbers were off. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Here is your next task!Task 4 - 16. Read a minimum of 750 pages in books tagged/shelved as children.
Books selected for this task need to be tagged with 'child', 'children' or other variations of the word. Combo tags will be allowed in context, 'no kids please' would not work. Tags like ‘childrens’ or other tags that indicate the book is for children and opposed to with children are not allowed for this task.. Please include a link to the top shelves page of your qualifying tag along with the number of tags and the page top shelves page number. This information makes it easier for me to find if the link is broken or the tag moves - and both often happen! Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count!
Mine is only 254. Why is the 750 crossed out? Will it be more? Should I find another book with more pages?
Hi I just finished mine it’s 250, but I will start one more that is tagged children
I will check the total page count in the q&a thread

My apologies, I have no idea why the page count was crossed out. I only do that for teams that are smaller or larger than the usual 4 teammates. You need to read 750 pages for this task. I edited the message above to reflect that.

Here is your next task!Task 5 - 29. Read over 750 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.
Professions such as LEO, military or musicians are ok. Just don’t try to pass off a rancher and a chef as both being in the food industry - they are simply not close enough. Please include the selected profession in your completions post and to let me know how you know the book qualifies - title, precis, tags or lists, including links and any other necessary information. I need to know where to look to confirm your books. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.
Please note that private investigators/private detectives are NOT considered law enforcement officers.
I could not find this one in our spreadsheet My suggestion would be:
Cop
Doctor
Musician
But I am pretty flexible
