TART10 - Snakes on a Plane (6)

[LaurLa]

I'm sorry, I spaced on us needing a book today to get a final task today and was concentrating on getting the Gift Exchange book done. I'll see if I have something relatively short that I can squeeze in today.

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

I read more of my book last night and I'll be starting it in a moment here at work. I'm only here for 4 hours on Fridays and I've done the work I really wanted to get done today.

So, I'll just sneak in some reading while I do the monotony task of reconciling three spreadsheets.

Oh? Any idea what time we have to finish by in order to qualify for the task?

[LaurLa]

I was referencing this: " 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"

I thought she meant that we wouldn't get the "last task" if we didn't check in our current task by today. Maybe I'm mis-reading it?

[Laura]

If we check in tomorrow, the last task is what we will get. From today on, there is only the last task. That’s been my observation when I have played in the past.

How it fits: From the synopsis: 'an invitation arrives from her favorite client, Dorothy, to stay at her guest cottage in the Cotswolds." So, it takes place in the Cotswolds in England, which is outside of the US. It even has an MPG tag of "British Literature"!

I don't see a post from LaurLa. We need 6 books for this task and we only have 5 right now.

D'oh! You're right. I'll go delete it. I was thinking Berit's two were the final ones we were waiting for. Good catch!

Last Task - Read a holiday romance.

The qualification for this task can be the generic 'holiday' or specific like Christmas or Halloween. Holiday needs to be the American type of holiday as opposed to the British. Qualification can come from the title, series, precis, tags or lists. Remember to let me know how you know the books work so I know where to look to confirm them. Please include any info or links as necessary.

Remember completion posts with errors or missing elements will not count towards your team total or the completion of this task. The task will be considered ‘completed’ when each team member has completed one book for this task, additional books will count towards a tie breaker if necessary. Help each other out by double checking posts are complete with the first edition Kindle page count!

There is no need to post a team completion in the Q&A thread, I will be checking all team threads at the conclusion of the challenge. 😊

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

Easy.. provided my Kindle behaves (it's currently acting up). I've got plenty of holiday books ready to go.

I suppose I could check my hard copies to see what I've got. Or maybe I'll get lucky and find an audio that works. Those all seemed to have really long wait lists.

My choice is most likely , which is a Christmas holiday romance! Hoping to get started tonight when I crawl into bed.

Fits: It's right in the title! And also the MPGs are holiday and romance ;)

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa)]

Oh man! I was so busy today, I'm not sure I can finish another book by the end of the night. Might give the Christmas Cookie House a go since it's only 155 pages.

What time is the cut-off? Midnight in some time zone?
