Sorry team. I got super behind on my Scavenger Hunt challenge and had to finish 4 books the last 3 days of April. I did read the shortest book I could find Elements of Retrofit and read it today for this challenge. I'll get my Completion Post done asap and check is in. I'll do better going forward. Again, I'm so sorry for holding us up.

Sorry, this one will be too short. The page count for this challenge is 150 🫂
I've been doing very little on GR trying to get this books read. Is anyone else doing the MM Scavenger Hunt? My monthly plans goes into the trash toward the middle of the month, every month, because I'm always trying to get better points. And then the end of the month I realize I still need a handful of books to go and only a few days to get them done. It's stressful but I'm addicted to it 😆
I'm not playing this round, but have in the past it's always rather interesting and fun challenge but definitely gets intense. Along with planning and trying to get points, I didn't join as I'm more mood reader type these days and not as quick with books as I used to be. But it was very tempting 😂

You could use demons mate if want though, as that's in my 4 star list ☺️

As pointed out, this books it too short for this challenge, minimum page count is 150.
If you have another book, as Trip suggested, please post it.
Either way, I am going to assign your next task, Task 6. But this book will need to be make up one way or the other before I will assign Task 7. 😊
Here is your next task!Task 6 - 20. Read 4 books 300 pages or longer.
Pretty self explanatory. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count!
