The Amazing Race Team Challenge - Round 10October 12, 2024 through December 8, 2024
I Thought They Said Rum!
Q&A:
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.
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.
Q: What are the rules if the book is so bad you can’t finish it?
A: I will accept DNFs if you read to the minimum page count of this challenge (150 p.) AND 70% of the book. You must also state that the book is a DNF and explain why in your completion, including the page number you finished on as well. The page you finished on would be the number counted for tasks that ask the team to read a certain number of pages.
Please post your team names here in this thread when you have decided on one - even if you already posted one in the signup thread. Thank you! 😊‼️ And please make sure you are ALL getting notifications for this thread as this is where I will communicate with all the teams. ‼️

"There is a 150 page minimum for books, rereads and audios ok. Books may only be used once per player during the challenge. Players may read the same book for a task unless otherwise specified. Books do not have to be romance, but must be fiction."
I will get team names updated shortly. 😊

Team 6 would like to be know as Snakes on a Plane.
Team 10 would like to be known as Plunder The Covers.
Team 2 would like to be known as The Fast and the Fictional
There are still a few missing teammates, I will try to send reminder messages this evening.I do have a request, please do not delete any messages/posts in your team threads. I record the last message I've checked in my tracking so deleting messages could lead to me missing something. Thanks!
Team 8 would like to be known as The Mystery Machine.
Just a couple of people not checked in and a few teams without names, but everyone is just about ready to start tomorrow!
I’m sorry if this is posted somewhere, but I could t find an answer: must we read romances, or are other genres allowed?

Eugenia, I’m on my phone so I can’t do much…. But see message #27 above.

Team 9 would like to be named: Books On The Rocks
I can’t remember for this challenge . Can we use a book that we’ve already started and does it have to be romance ?

For this, and I believe all challenges in this group, all books must be read within the challenge timeline, For example, in the monthly challenge all books must be started and finished within the month of the challenge. In this challenge, books selected can not be started before the task is assigned.
‼️ As a reminder, the first task for all teams is posted in this thread!! ‼️I will not be posting the task in the individual team threads. Subsequent tasks will be posted in the team threads as they vary both in timing and task from team to team.
There are still a few participants who have not checked with their teams. If they have not checked in prior to the start time, they will be removed.
Ready, set... GO!!First Task - All Teams!
Task 1 - 0. Read a book that is MPG Paranormal or a books that has both black and orange on the cover, teams decide.
October is wonderful in many ways - fall weather, football, pumpkin spice and especially Halloween! As a team decide whether you will read books that are MPG Paranormal or books with both black and orange on the cover, then each teammate reads a book that matches the team’s decision. To qualify as MPG (main page genre), on the main page of the book under the precis, there is a section that says "Genres". Anything listed under that section is counted as an MPG. You may use anything that shows when you click 'more', but not if you click 'show all'. For books to qualify under the cover color option, both black and orange need to be on the cover. The selected covers do not have to be primarily black and/or orange, but both colors must be present on the cover. You can use any edition’s cover to qualify your book. If in doubt, please ask.
Team 7 would like to be called Swoon Squad
Team 9 would like to be called Books On The Rocks
