I hope I worded this question to make sense. For the task, "Read a minimum of 1200 pages in books of the same sub-genre, but by different authors", if one of the members has to read a second book, should they read the same as the first author they chose or a different one?

‼️ PLEASE TAKE NOTE! ‼️With the challenge ending on Sunday, December 8th, there will a minor change to the last task. Beginning on Friday, December 6th, when teams post their completions and get a new task, they will all get the same task - except for the final teams racing for the win. Those teams will all get the same task, but a different one from the other teams so they will not be able to prep in advance for the dash to the finish. For this task, instead of just completing it, you will continue reading to add to the total number of books read for your team. There will be no passes for the last task and to complete it, every team member must complete a book for the task and contribute to the overall book count. So, the task is considered ‘completed’ when every team member has read one book for the task, but you can continue reading in order to increase your overall book count for the task in case that is needed for a tie breaker. In the event that two or more teams are tied based on the number of tasks completed, the team with the highest book count will win The Amazing Race Team Challenge!
**Remember if your completion posts are incomplete or have the wrong page count, your books will not count. So help each other out by checking the posts!**
‼️ If your page count comes from a Kindle edition published on the initial publication date on the editions page, it will count. If your page count comes from a Kindle edition labeled '1st edition', it will count. If your page count comes from the earliest dated English language Kindle edition, it will count. I am looking for one of those three things when confirming your books! As long the page count you list is correct, I will accept any link to the book. ‼️
Posting that your team has completed the last task in the Q&A thread is not necessary as I will be checking all the team threads when the challenge ends.
MountainKat, you just assigned team 1 a task we have already completed.

Sunday night. Midnight between Sunday night and Monday morning EST.
It will be 9 PM for me because I am in Pacific time. 😉

Team 13 meet cutes are ready for a new task. I passed this round https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
MountainKat,Our task says “you are using the initial publication date”.
Does this mean any ebook or paperback initial publication?
Or do we look for first kindle publication that happens to be the initial publication?

Use the initial publication date - if there is a date listed at the top of the editions page, use it! Otherwise, I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition regardless of format for the qualification.
So, if there is not a date listed at the top of the editions page, use the earliest dated English language edition for the qualification. The format does not matter.

I'm just getting started checking team threads, but I don't think I will get much further tonight. I will get the final results posted by tomorrow evening. I think I have to head off the mountain in the morning so it will be later than I would have preferred.
