**Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count only! 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. Ebook page count will be acceptable if no Kindle page count available. The acceptability of other page counts will be made on an individual basis.**

Please note that a rating is now required in your completion posts! A small review is also welcome. 😊

I think most of you know each other, at least a little, but feel free to introduce yourself again. Please give any relevant information, especially time zone as that helps know when it is best to communicate. 😊

Please select a team leader to help keep track of where your team is in any given task. And as necessary guide discussions for task decisions. Any teammate can report your completions though.

Remember, it is the team's responsibility to notify the host (me) if a teammate fails to complete the task in a timely manner or otherwise goes missing! I am not checking all the team threads regularly to notice and may only check when notified a task is complete.

If I have your name wrong or if you want to change it, just let me know!

Yay! We have our team thread!🥳🎉

Is Gustaf our team leader? Wende? I know it’s not me 😂

NOT IT!!!

I have never been the captain of it. Laura was our captain when I played before. For.my bachelor team a different Laura was captain. Dee you was on the team. I can be but I would need a lot of help. So maybe another would be best.

Being the team leader in this challenge is pretty simple. Just guide if needed for any decision making and maybe keeping track if some decisions are made early. Anyone can post in the Q&A that you are finished with a task. 😊

😂 I vote Gustaf!!

I can do it with Wende as help? Might be a little busy with work some days

@Wende, how is it that my team is chatiest?

We've took the easy route and used the same list of tasks as last time so hardly had to organise anything ..which is good as still got 3 SH books to read 😄

Hi everyone!
I went out to dinner yesterday after work and it got much later than I thought it would, so I'll take a better look when I get home from work today!

Roger - president of NBR United - wrote: "@Wende, how is it that my team is chatiest?"

Because I have not been chatty yet Roger. I will get my crown back soon I am sure. 😂😂

We will do what we can to help with that Wende!!

Task#76…. 6 books with a specific item on the cover, team selects item.

Do you think we can use “a male cover model”?😂

Diane wrote: "We will do what we can to help with that Wende!!"

Yes! I am going to need you, Gustaf and Dee! I lost my crown this year for the chattiest team. I held that crown for years. From the beginning. Now Gustaf team has it. 😭😭 I passed my baton to him.

Before it had to be nonhuman. You can asked though

Maybe a man's nipple?? Or 6 pack abs?

Well, one of the other teams picked “a shirt”…it would leave off only half of our male models 😂

DeeNeez wrote: "Well, one of the other teams picked “a shirt”…it would leave off only half of our male models 😂"

Shirt would be easy. Not sure about nipple though. We would have to ask.

DeeNeez wrote: "Well, one of the other teams picked “a shirt”…it would leave off only half of our male models 😂"

Most books have at least one model with a shirt on even it it is unbuttoned.😂😂

Then I’m voting shirt 😂

Also..task 70. Read a minimum of 1200 pages in books of the same sub-genre, but by different authors.

You do realize that “mm romance” is a sub-genre of romance….. Or would that just make it too easy for us? 😂

I used that for team 11 because while we are all m/m readers we have different taste in the sub sub genres of M/M.

It is what I put down. Also what my team used the last time

Hey, team… FYI. On same author/series books… I don’t really want to read anything by Mary Calmes or Amy Lane. I got burnout on them and now I shudder if I have to read one of their books.

I will if I have to, but I’m avoiding them if possible.

I'm fine with that. Not really a fan of AL anyway.

So I'm here and looking through your answers.
The reason I put task 19 on the list was because I thought it might be a good idea to share links to our read shelves, but I don't know if we really need them.

If it makes things easier for you, I can place a link in.
