🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 6🌹🌹Theme - Summer Lovin'🌹
The dates will begin on Saturdays at 6 PM EST, at that time the task for each date will be announced. Books must be completed and posted by the following Friday at Midnight EST, except when on your 'Romantic Getaway' when you will have until the second Friday. Roses will be awarded before the next date begins. Each date we will be working towards spelling out B-A-C-H-E-L-O-R. The tasks for each letter will be posted in advance, but you will not know which task will be used until the date begins.
Roses are earned by:
🌹 The First Rose 🌹 Teams earn this rose by reading 4 books fitting the task during the date. (One rose possible per team per date.)
Bonus roses may be earned by:
🌹 Speed Dating Rose 🌹 The team that has 4 members finishing 4 books (1 each) and posts in the Q&A/Announcement thread first wins this bonus rose. Note, posting is required to earn this rose. (One rose possible per date.)
🌹 Team Dating Roses 🌹 Teams with each member completing the task (with a minimum of 6 books read) earn 3 additional roses. (Three roses possible per team per date.)
🌹 Serial Dating Rose 🌹 For every multiple of 8 books read, teams will earn a rose. So 8 books is one rose, 16 books is 2 roses, 24 books is 3 roses and so on. (Number of roses will vary each date, maximum of 7 per team per date.)
🌹 Multiple Date Rose 🌹 The player who reads the most books for the date earns this bonus rose for their team. (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Longest Date Rose 🌹 The player that reads the longest book for the date earns this bonus rose for their team. Please note that boxed sets will NOT be counted towards this rose! (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Compulsive Dater Rose 🌹 The player that reads the most combined pages for the date, first edition Kindle only for page count, earns this bonus rose. (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Page Turner Rose 🌹 The team that reads the most combined pages for the date, first edition Kindle only for page count, earns this bonus rose. (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Scavenger Hunt Rose 🌹This special rose is earned by finding a book that fits each rule for the letter the date represents, for example B is for Backcountry (rural setting), Black (black cover), Bogeyman (PNR) and Brag (nominated for or won an award). After posting your completion, post in the Scavenger Hunt thread to claim the book. Both posts, in your team thread and the Scavenger Hunt thread, should list the qualifications for each task, i.e. be identical. This rose may be earned multiple times per date but only once per book. The first person to post each book claims the rose for that book. (Number of roses available per date will vary, maximum of 7 per person per date.)
Teams will not be eliminated even if they earn no roses, they will have a chance to catch up by earning additional roses on other dates. Players will be eliminated if they do not complete the task on two consecutive dates. Eliminated players will not be replaced. Remember, players are allowed to read multiple books for a given date in order to earn bonuses and/or to make up for teammates who do not read their book or who have been eliminated.
❤️
Information required when posting your completion/s:
❤️❤️ Date Task
❤️ Book/cover link
❤️ Page numbers with source **We are using the GR Kindle first edition page count ONLY, if available. Ebook page count will be acceptable if no Kindle page count available. If GR doesn't have a page count listed, please link to the Amazon Kindle book with a page count.**
❤️ How book qualified, with links or cover as necessary. Links required for lists, tags and other editions.
❤️ Dated Completed with Rating.
❤️ If this is your second (or more) book for the task, also include that information.
Please include only this information. A small review may be included if desired, but is not required. No other discussion allowed though.
❤️You will need make a new post for your completions.❤️ If you update a prior post, i.e., if you saved posts for your completions, they will be missed when I do the accounting for each date. Make sure your books count - make a new post!
❤️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.
❤️If corrections are requested, REPOSTS ARE REQUIRED!❤️ If I request a correction for a page count or qualifier for example, you must repost your Completion Post or your book will not be counted!
Although you will not need to make selection posts like in the PtP, your teammates might like ideas for what to read so sharing what you are reading could be very helpful. If you choose to make selections posts, make sure they are clearly identified as such. If you have any question if your book qualifies, it would be better to find out before you read it - ask your teammates or in the Q&A/Announcement thread.
DO NOT DELETE COMMENTS OR POSTS! Even if your book doesn't qualify or you are asked for corrections, do not delete your comment. Deleted comments will confuse the tracking and may lead to books being missed! If you wish, you may strike through your comment using < s > ... < /s > without the spaces, but do not delete the comment or post!
🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 6🌹🌹Theme - Summer Lovin'🌹
Books must be 90 pages and MPG Romance. Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance or similar is acceptable, but it must be romance. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS on the MPG Romance rule. We will be using the English language first edition Kindle page count ONLY for this challenge. Audiobooks and rereads are ok. Abridged audiobooks are NOT ALLOWED for this challenge. Books can only be read once per person during the challenge even if it fits multiple categories. Once the task for the date is announced, you may not tag a book so that it fits or edit any lists - this must be done before the date begins.
MPG = Main Page Genre:
On the main page of the book on the right hand side there is a section that says "Genres". Anything listed under that section is counted as an MPG.
MPG Romance = Main Page Genre Romance:
In the "Genres" section described above, there must be 'Romance". It could be Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance or MM Romance, but it has to have 'Romance' listed.
❤️ Completion Posts ❤️When making your completion posts, remember you must include how the book/s qualify. If the task states, for example (and this is just an example!):
A is for Athlete - Read a sports romance, qualification from the title, précis, list or tags.
Saying 'the hero is a runner' or 'MC is an athlete' doesn't qualify the book. Using 'précis states that hero is a football player' or 'tagged sports by 7 people' does qualify the book. Remember that links are required for lists, tags and different editions.
Also, when using the cover as the qualifier, post the cover image in your completion.
Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.
Don't make more work for yourself than necessary - if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don't have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the page count and edition - say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!
You may use separate editions of your Scavenger Hunt books to qualify for the different tasks. Links MUST be provided.
🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 6🌹🌹Theme - Summer Lovin'🌹
READ THIS!
Please confirm that you have read the instructions for this challenge and understand that you are committing to read at least ONE book a week. Confirm that you understand the books you choose are required to be MPG Romance and a minimum of 90 p. using the first edition Kindle page count as well as fit the requirement for the current date task. Also please verify that you understand that this is a team challenge and that your team is counting you to uphold your commitment.
I NEED A CONFIRMATION FROM EVERY TEAMMATE!
🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 6🌹🌹Theme - Summer Lovin'🌹
I will be tracking each team's completions and using the captains' tracking to confirm before awarding roses at the end of each date.
Captains, anything you can do to help is appreciated, particularly with the Longest Date and Page Turner Roses! Simply listing the completions with message number is great though - links are not required, but always appreciated. 😊
🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 6🌹🌹Theme - Summer Lovin'🌹
Captains, please reserve a few spaces for tracking.
Introduce yourselves to your teammates. Let then know where you are from, what your interests are in life and in books! Consider friending each other, that makes it easier to follow the goings on.
Your first task as a team is to come up with a team name. The theme of Summer Lovin' and your team name should relate to that. Captains, please post your team name in the Q&A thread when you have decided.

Hey everyone! I’m Jeydon but you can also call me Jey. I live in Southern California with my partner and our cats 🐈⬛ But I grew up on the other side of the coast in Pennsylvania before we got together.
I’m a photographer and lover of stories (which photos often are, just as much as books). I read M/M Romance pretty exclusively at this point in my life but have read a wide variety over the years. I look forward to getting to know you all and participating in this fun challenge together!
I’m not great at team name ideas but since this round is summer themed I’ll get us started with a couple and leave the floor open to those more creative with team names!
Wet 'N Wild
Splash Of Romance
Ocean Of Love
Yes I went with the more beachy idea of summer but I do live in California 😂 Please share any ideas you have!!
I confirm I have read and understand the rules of the challenge.
Hi everyone,I’m Hazel and Im from Glasgow, Scotland. I live with my husband, our 12 year old son and 18 year old cat.
I work in HR for the Scottish Police force which has kept me insanely busy over the pandemic. We are a football mad family and currently watching Euro 2020 and get to see Scotland play their first match (later today) in a major tournament for the first time in 20+ years. 🏴
I read MF romance mainly and prefer contemporary, PNR, fantasy, dark and historical however I’ll usually give anything a try. I have played every round of this challenge and look forward to this one with you all.
Team name suggestions from me
Water you reading?
What are you wading for?
Shore thing!
Hey everyone! I'm Gustaf, pronounced Gustav. I live in Stockholm, Sweden with my husband and our dog.
I'm quite a busy person this summer, but what's one more reading challenge? Right? Anyway, I work as Style and Costumer Advisor for one of the biggest optician retailers in the Nordic countries. I also work at a bookstore. I wasn't supposed to work two jobs this summer but yeah, it happened. When I'm not working I'm reading or spending time with my hubbie and dog.
I read MM romance. But I'm pretty open minded when it comes to this challenge and did snuck in some MF romances the last time. Not many though.
Team name ideas:
Beach, Please
Water Everywhere
Just Beachy
Sand-Tastic Readers
I confirm that I've read and understand the rules and requirements of this challenge.
Oops I forgot to sayI confirm I have read and understand the rules of the challenge.
Hi There!I'm Chan and live in Georgia, USA. May seem weird to specify, but I've had more than a few place me in Georgia the country in Eastern Europe.
I signed up before I knew my sister was shipping my niece back to me. Always glad to have her. Actually excited that she's back, but my available time just dwindled significantly. Too bad this challenge doesn't count books like The Day My Butt Went Psycho because my niece and I will be reading that this week.
I read M/F, M/M, F/F and all the other variations. As far as genres, I don't read thrillers. Not a fan of extreme dark stories. I have branched out to PNR-lite, and so far so good.
I was thinking of team names, but we already have a few good ones, so I won't add to the list. I'll vote on the ones i like so far
Shore Thing
Beach, Please
Nice to meet everyone and looking forward to getting to know you and get some good recs.
I verify that I understand that this is a team challenge and that my team is counting on me to uphold my commitment.
It’s great to meet you all! Don’t stress too much about your availability Chan, as long as you’re able to get your completions up for at least one book per date that’s all that matters! I hope you enjoy your time with your niece 💜
I know we all read at different speeds and for some (like me) that varies depending on what’s happening any given week. I joined this challenge to hopefully push myself to read a bit more each week but I know I’m nowhere near as fast as some readers I’ve interacted with! It’s always good to remember that while team challenges can be competitive, they’re meant to be more about fun than anything else.
Thanks for sharing team name ideas / voting on favorites. Once we have everyone checked in we can make a final vote on the team name and then be ready to start :D
I'm with you, Jey. I'm all about the fun. Winning is fun too, but i enjoy the interaction, getting to know new people and being introduced to new books more than the competition.
I’m about the fun too. I find it harder to compete as I’m in the uk so when the themes are announced it’s normally 10/11pm and staying up to read a whole book just leaves me shattered the next day - that being said I have done it on several occasions! I like the chat and seeing what everyone else is reading. The challenge for me is seeing what books on my long list of other challenges, buddy reads and BOTMs fit in with the criteria for this.
I have been (unsuccessfully so far) searching for scavenger books but I think Kat has tried to save herself some work this time and made the criteria much more difficult.
I also recently acquired my one year old niece on a Wednesday as her mum has gone back to work. That was a day where I could read all day if I wanted but that isn’t happening anymore! How old is your niece Chan and what have you got planned?
I'm glad I'm on this team since I'm also about the fun. We are moving in July so I might have a hard time reading that week. Jeydon, are we creating a different group to discuss SH roses etc? I know my team created one last time.

We did that last time as well.
I’ve sent the link to the group I used as all the content is deleted from previous rounds. Also sent to Kira and Veronica.
Hazel wrote: "I’ve sent the link to the group I used as all the content is deleted from previous rounds. Also sent to Kira and Veronica."That works! Thanks for sharing the link with everyone. I’ll go join now :D
Hazel wrote: "I’ve sent the link to the group I used as all the content is deleted from previous rounds. Also sent to Kira and Veronica."I sent a request to join but I’m getting a pop up of “sorry this is a secret group” so hopefully it went through! I haven’t joined secret groups in years so I’m not sure if it just says that until it’s confirmed or not.
Nice to meet you all!I'm Kira and I live in Alberta, Canada. I'm also happy to hear so many of you have pets! I have 2 dogs - a Great Dane named Charlie and a St. Bernard named Ravi.
I took an extended hiatus from reading during my all too many years of university (with all too many part-time jobs paying the bills). After graduating last year and settling into the right job this year, I finally have some free time and have decided it's best to fill it with books. This is my first Bachelor Challenge and I'll be away from home all of July (attending a course at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY), so I'm glad this team is all about the fun. I should be able to finish a book a week with no issue, but likely won't complete much more than that.
I primarily read MF romance and usually gravitate to Contemporary, PNR, Fantasy, and YA.
I confirm that I have read the instructions and am committing to read at least ONE appropriate book a week. I also understand that this is a team challenge and my team is counting on me to uphold my commitment.

PS: I'm loving all the suggested team names! You all are much more creative than I am. "Beach, Please" is my favourite so far.
Just waiting on Veronica now. 😊
Sorry was asleep when you all clicked the link. I’ve approved and given you all moderator status so you can add posts etc. Just Chan to join that one.
Hey Hazel! my niece is 14. I put her in some weekly classes like Dance and piano lessons, but we plan to go theme parks and stuff too. Last night we went to see Cruella. It was sooo good. The fashion was amazing. Emma Stone and Emma Thompson are such good actors.

Sounds amazing. I can’t wait to go and see some girly films with my niece. If it doesn’t have action my son isn’t interested now. Loving having the excuse to have moana, frozen, tangled etc on my tv.
That’s you in the group Chan.
Beach, Please seems to have the most votes for team name! I’ll go ahead and submit that so our name is ready to go. Hopefully we hear from Veronica soon. Did you get any response to the group invite from her, Hazel?
Updated your team name! I will be sending out message to those are still missing either tonight or tomorrow morning. 😊

Hazel, i'm such a cartoon/animated fan. If my niece isn't here then I usually steal someones child and take them to the movies with me so I don't look out of place.
I like action too. i can't wait for F9 to come out. Sometimes the acting in that series isn't the best, but the action and special fx are amazing!!!
Hey everyone,I'm Veronica (Vera). I am 21 years old and just finished university with a law degree (yay). I absolutely love reading, hence the reason I'm here. I am currently staying with my cousins on Cape Town and I am loving it.
I mainly read M/F romance, fantasy, paranormal and historical fiction. But I refuse to read horror (sorry).
I'm not certain about the rule of this game... i may have joined another group. I don't know how that happened.
This is my first time doing a challenge so please bear with me until i learn how everything works.
I have read and (kind of) understand the rules of this challenge. And I commit to reading at least one book per week.

The one rule that gets easily overlooked is that books for this challenge have to be MPG Romance! Otherwise, it is pretty easy. There is lots of experience on your team, so they can help too. 😊
Hi Everybody. Kat has posted the breakdown of the first date. Friendly reminder that the first date begins Saturday, June 19th.Kat's Message: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Date 1 - B - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 1.
Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.
Don't make more work for yourself than necessary - if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don't have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the page count and edition - say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!
You may use separate editions of your Scavenger Hunt books to qualify for the different tasks. Links MUST be provided.
B is for Ball - Read a sports romance.
To qualify, your book needs to be a sports romance. This can be evident in the precis, title, series, tags or lists. The qualification can be generic such as 'sports' and 'sports romance' or it can be specific such as 'football', 'hockey' 'baseball' and 'quarterback'. Remember, you need to let me know how you know the book qualifies - simply saying 'hero is an athlete' is NOT enough!
B is for Bear - Read a shifter romance.
To qualify, your book needs to include in the title, precis, list or tags 'shapeshifter', 'shifter', or 'were-something'.
B is for Both - Read a book written by duo authors, either under a pseudonym or using both of their names. Anthologies not allowed for this task.
To qualify for this task, the book needs to be written by two authors. Two authors will need to be listed on the GR main book/book cover or a link must be provided to the authors' GR page if the pair uses a pseudonym. If the pseudonym's GR page does not specify that it is a writing duo, then a link to their website must ALSO be provided.
B is for Buddy - Read a friends to lovers romance.
To qualify, the selected book needs to be a friends to lovers romance as indicated in the precis, tags or lists.
Welcome Veronica! No worries on being new to challenges, I’m sure everyone here is willing to help if you have any questions or anything! 💜 The other group is just a separate location for our team to discuss books that fit the tasks for each date since they can be tricky to find at times.Thanks for sharing the first date breakdown, Chan! I’m still hunting for possible Scavenger Hunt reads but I’m not having much luck with this first date.
Same here, Jey. I searched for a while last night and gave up. I might look one more time, but I'm not optimistic.
I’ve been adding ones I find to the other group (not for B) if you all have your notifications for that on.
