Task 10 - 74. Read 6 books published in a teammates' birth month, you may not use your own month.
by Stephanie Archer
Read: 27th November
Pages: 440 (both kindle ed. Show same date, used the ed. That has the asin on)
Rating: 4 Stars
Fits: Published in December 2023 - Laura & Karen's birthday

[Megan]

Checked in!

Lol must admit I struggled to find something I wanted to read!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I will check your books later, running out the door.

Here is your next task!

Task 11 - 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, CIA and military (with the exception of military police) are NOT considered law enforcement officers.

[Megan]

Firefighter? Or something different?

[Geri]

I’m fine with firefighter. I have a book that works.

354 pages

[Laura]

Firefighter works for me too

[Karen ♐]

Firefighter is fine. I need this one for another challenge -

Please correct to the first edition Kindle page count (188). Thanks.

Other than the one correction, your completions all looked good.

It will be a few more days for me. I had to read a couple of books before the due date at the library. And I didn’t read much on Thanksgiving. But I will be reading my nook for AR also for PTP. So that’s good! 🙂

[Megan]

No worries. Had to force myself to get to it. Think I'm heading into a small slump

[Karen ♐]

Take your time, Geri.

[Laura]

I'm slow too it's been busy
The last several tasks have landed on my days off which makes for great reading
This one didn't 🙄
I'm reading the first book in the same series Geri is reading

[Laura]

Oh no, Megan...slumps are the worse!
We are almost finished the challenge
Hard to believe today is the last day of November

[Laura]

Megan, maybe this will help you out of your slump
My loan for Lost and Lassoedjust came in

[Geri]

I think the holidays are making me want a little bit of a break too. I should have my book done today.

I I’ll definitely try to read book 1 of that series soon, Laura!

We finished just in time for my move! Thanks, everyone. Had a great time playing, as always!

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. 😊

[Laura]

That must be a relief, Karen
I may be able to read a short one for this task after work
(Lol ..if I don't fall asleep)

[Karen ♐]

I can try to fit a short one in also

[Megan]

Yeah doubt I'll get something read now! Had friends over this evening

Enjoyed it as always 💜💜

Good luck in your move Karen

[Laura]

My plans changed. Sorry I won't be able to read anything. I spent the evening worrying about my daughter then when she came over spent time with her. Thankfully she is okay

[Karen ♐]

This is one last thing I won't need to do then...lol Thank goodness. Thanks, Laura & Megan. Can't wait until the move is done.

Glad your daughter is okay, Laura.

[Laura]

Lots of fun as always!
