The BTC7 - Maybe Not Till Death Do Us Part (9)
🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 7🌹🌹Theme - Seven Year Itch🌹
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. (Dates 1 & 2 will have different start/end dates to deal with the holidays. See post in the sign up thread.) 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.)
🌹 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 7🌹🌹Theme - Seven Year Itch🌹
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.
Remember, books can NOT be tagged or added to lists after the date begins!
Also, books can NOT be started before the date begins!
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 7🌹🌹Theme - Seven Year Itch🌹
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 7🌹🌹Theme - Seven Year Itch🌹
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 7🌹🌹Theme - Seven Year Itch🌹
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 this round is Seven Year Itch and your team name should relate to that. Captains, please post your team name in the Q&A thread when you have decided.

I confirm to everything in the post.
Hii!!!
I'm Charanya. I'm 19 years old and I'm currently doing my undergrad in Information Technology in India.
I loveeee Horror , Fantasy with romance in it. I can read any book at all if I have to.
Apart from reading, I like playing video games.
As for creativity, I have none. I can be of no help at all for team names.
Hello Team! My name is Cynthia and I am from Spain. This is my third time playing The Bachelor and I am excited to start! I love reading Romance, Fantasy and Mysteries but I can read other genres too. I moved back to Spain recently so it has been a bit hectic lately but things should calm down in the next few weeks.
I am trying to think of team names following the theme but I cannot come up with anything, sorry

Nice to meet you!
How's Spain? I've always wanted to go there!!
Do we want a separate group for this challenge?We had one last time..

Here is my confirmation! Can someone explain to me how we prove via Kindle we've read stuff? I don't understand the page count thing.
Oh! Also, hello! :) I'm Katie and this is my first Chopped challenge! I'm 29, live in Texas, and work part time at a book store.I enjoy reading Romance and Fantasy primarily but I'll occasionally branch out and read something different - usually when I find myself in a rut with what I've been reading. Smut? Love it. Clean romance? All for it! It all just depends on my mood.
Katie wrote: "Can someone explain to me how we prove via Kindle we've read stuff? I don't understand the page count thing."I don't understand what you mean by 'via Kindle'. Are you accessing GR from your Kindle? You can see what is needed in your Completion Posts in message #3 of this thread. Or you could look at the team threads that are archived to see how others have made their posts.

I'll make one, no worries!
Charanya wrote: "Do we want a separate group for this challenge?We had one last time.."
Hi, I have been on teams both with and without a separate tread. I think they are really helpful if more members of the team like to find and share scavenger hunt books
But I also played where it works really well without a tread.
And as the rules have changed it is not possible to hunt prior to the task, so I am unsure if a separate tread would be needed
That said I love looking for scavenger books, so if we have a tread I will post what I find there

Hi Team, my name is Lea. I live in the suburbs to Copenhagen Denmark.I read mainly contemporary romance, mix up with some historical and mystery, I am however a fairly open reader and will try almost all authors at least ones
I live with husband and 2 young girls, so this time around Christmas can become pretty busy. This week we are just starting homeschooling and working from home again. So the house is pretty busy.
Looking forward to playing this game again

I understand and agree.
Hi everyone! I’m Lynne, and I live in Texas with my husband and toddler and two cats. My very favorite genres are Fantasy and Sci-Fi that also have romance in them, but I love branching out into other genres. I’m a very mood-based reader, so kind of all over the place! And I’ll read almost anything for a challenge.
I am so excited to do this challenge again!! Last time I had a lot of fun trying to get the Longest Date Rose, so maybe that’ll happen again if I can find some good long ones. (The fact that I was reading the Outlander series at the time was super helpful)
I think a side thread/group would be a good idea! I also enjoy searching for Scavenger Hunt books.
Wow, almost all of us are from different parts of the world, Spain, Texas, Denmark and India

Three of us live in Texas! How crazy is that?! Also, if you are interested in long books and haven't read them already, Kulti and All Rhodes Lead Here are long and incredible.
Charanya wrote: "Wow, almost all of us are from different parts of the world, Spain, Texas, Denmark and India"That's great!! :) All over the world
I just requested to join the group, thanks Charanya!
In terms of team names, I am awful at this but just trying to think of something:
Honeymoon is Over
Scratching the Itch Away
Maybe not Till Death do us Part

No problem - o
Hey guys! Apparently I’ve missed some messages! I’m Rebecca and I’m also from Texas. What a small world lol. This is my first challenge and I’m so looking forward to it. I love to read romance. Anything except historical. I’m not completely opposed to it but it’s not my favorite. I can’t wait to get started and it’s awesome to meet everyone.
I’m open to whichever thread works best for everyone. I’m pretty laidback when it comes to things like that.
Again, I’m sorry for the late introduction and response.
Rebecca
