Hi Ella, I'm jumping in here so you don't have to wait until Kat gets up in the morning. 😃The quick answer to the important part of your question is yes, that book will qualify for that task.
As far as the series rule goes, it just means that if you are at a different point in a series than the book you want to use as a qualifier, you can use that book but read the one that is next for you. For example, if none of the mods had read Match Me If You Can but had read It Had to Be You (Book 1 in the Chicago Stars series) you would be able to use that as a qualifier for your book. Hopefully that makes sense (it's late and I'm tired) but if not I'm sure Kat will expand on it a bit to make it clearer.
Hi Karen, Thank you so much. That totally makes sense to me. 😁
For the series rule can the spin off series work. A few people have read books from this series The Deal but I’m on this series The Chase

Sorry for the delay in responding. Series rule means that you could read a book earlier or later in a series of the book you are using to qualify for a task. So for example, if I had only read book #1 of a series, all the books in that series would qualify using the series rule. You would be free to read whatever book you were at in the series.
But because I read the actual book you are planning to read, you don't need the series rule - Match Me If You Can qualifies on it's own.

I’ve re read the above a few times but unsure if spin off would count
Kat wrote: "For the series rule can the spin off series work. A few people have read books from this series The Deal but I’m on this series The Chase"For a spin off series to work, you would need to find a series page that includes the spin off. Something like:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/3466...
OR
https://www.goodreads.com/series/3005...
Often the main series page will continue to include the spin offs for continuity. Similar to:

That is more of a stretch that I would prefer, but I will allow it.
I think I've answered all the questions and assigned new tasks to the teams that have posted. If I missed something, please post again!

Thanks Kat. I wasn't sure because you mentioned in the task no pictures of the vehicle & I didn't want to misunderstand again.

Our task was to read more than 600 pages . We did that but not all team members have posted a completion post. Would the task still count as done or do we need to wait for the completion post from the rest of the team?

The task needs to be completed either way. If you have completed the task without one teammate, that teammate has the option to either finish a book that qualifies or to use their pass.

thanks, Kat!
For the task 6 books in the same sub-genre, if we decide on contemporary romance, does it need to be MPG contemporary, or will a contemporary tag work?
