The BTC8 - Better L8 than Never! (2)
🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 8🌹🌹Theme - We Made It to Eight!🌹
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!
❤️I strongly suggest that you create a BLANK template for your completion posts.❤️ DO NOT copy a prior post. DO NOT copy a teammate's completion. Start EVERY completion post from the blank template! This will help eliminate copy/paste errors along with missing components in a completion post.
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 8🌹🌹Theme - We Made It to Eight!🌹
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 8🌹🌹Theme - We Made It to Eight!🌹
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 8🌹🌹Theme - We Made It to Eight!🌹
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 8🌹🌹Theme - We Made It to Eight!🌹
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 We Made It to Eight! 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 can't wait to get started! I'm sending invites to all of you for a planning group that we can use for SH book discussions, etc.I think I've been on teams with all of you in the past (although it's been quite a while for Laura and Michaele), and looking forward to playing with you all again!
Looking forward to another round of this game with y’all. I’ve played with quite a few of y’all on one challenge or another.
Hello, just checking in, it's nice to see familiar names :)!
Hello everyone, Life was insanely busy last round of Bachelor I couldn't commit to the one book a week; so happy to play this round.
I've read post #6 and understand the rules and my commitment to the team.

Hi EveryoneNice to see some familiar names 😀
I live in Denmark so my time zone is CET, so I will often be one my way to bed when the challenges are called 🛌
I really enjoy playing this game so looking forward to playing this round

I have read post 6 and understand the rules and my commitments to the team.
I've also read post 6 and i'm committed to the team.
I'm terrible at team names, but here are a couple suggestions...Crazy Eights
Eight is Not Enough
Or maybe we could use 6 in the name since we have an extra teammate?

Thanks, Michaele! I kind of skipped out on my normal welcome/this is what we need to do post yesterday...it was a bit of a crazy day and I knew we were all veterans of the challenge, so didn't worry about it. That being said, we do need to come up with a name, and I'm really horrible at that too. We could go with 7 (not 6 since we do have the extra player) if anyone can come up with something for that. Or we don't necessarily have to tie directly to the theme if we can come up with something clever that we all like. The only thing I can think of that relates at all to either of the numbers is The Lucky Seven. I'm pretty crappy at creating, but generally pretty good at editing, so even if you come up with something that you think is silly or don't like, go ahead and post it...it might spark a better idea in someone else.
Just a couple of quick things about me that might come in handy during the challenge. I read almost exclusively romance (which makes things easy for this challenge) with the occasional mystery/suspense or general fiction thrown in if something grabs my attention. I will read pretty much any sub-genre, and make a point of reading a variety every month - CR, HR, PNR, MF and MM, etc. The only things I try for the most part to avoid are YA (and a lot of NA...depends on the author) and inspirational...although I will read those sub-genres if I get a good recommendation from someone who I know has similar tastes to mine. I live in Washington state, so Pacific time, which means the theme calls are mid-afternoon for me and the challenge ends each Friday at 9 PM. It's a good thing each task runs for a week (and one that is two weeks) since we're spread out literally all over the world. I believe we have 4 countries and 3 continents represented!
I kinda suck at names too. Crazy eights might be ok or whatever y’all like.
I like all the suggestions for team names so far. Lucky 7 is my favorite. It might be nice to be different and go with the 7 option as most teams are figuring something out with 8.I'm in ADT time zone, which is a 7pm start and a 1am finish for me. I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada. I work as an admin assistant so my reading and Goodreads time is all over the place.
I am looking forward to :
1) son's gf's dog is coming tomorrow for the summer (ha, I'm grandma)
2) prom Friday night- my daughter is going
3) start of this challenge and getting to know you all and chatting about books
Hi Everybody! I'm here. a quick check-in. when i saw we had 7 people, i thought about
Seven Swans A-Reading (or however you want to spell it).
I"d be happy with Lucky 7 too or Chan`s suggestion. I'm in Utah, so US MST, I am an historian, which for some reason means I really dislike historical romance. I read mostly contemporary mm romance, but am usually willing to try other genres/subgenres.
I confirm that I've read the rules and can commit to at least a book a week. 👍
Hi everyone!Really looking forward to trying this one again. I've been out for a few rounds, but I'm excited to go digging for SHRs!
I think I've done challenges with most everyone, but maybe a while ago.
Definitely a few with Chan and Karen 🤣
Just a bit about me...I'm a US expat living in Taiwan, so I'm always messing up time changes 🤣. I have three little ones, so get most of my reading done at night when they're sleeping. I'll read just about anything in the romance genre except for YA. NA and mystery are usually a bit iffy, but I'll give them a shot. Probably the most common subgenres I read are paranormal, scifi, and sports romances. Always love getting recommendations!
I'm not the fastest reader, but I'll try to keep up as much as I can!
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 confirm the above 👆
I was a little busy these past few days. So a proper hello...Hi everybody. I believe I have played with all of you at some point. My name is Chan. I live in GA so east coast time for me. I read everything except thrillers and I'm finding that I'm not that into bibliographies. For pleasure reading, I gravitate towards Romance with substance. So this challenge is perfect for me.
I'm looking forward to adding some good reads to my tbr. TART and Bachelor are usually responsible for the swelling of my tbr.
I'm not picky with team names and will go with the majority. My suggestions are:
7 swans a-reading
7-Up
7 Rings (a nod to my favorite musical The Sound of Music)
7 of a Kind
readers at work

haha at the grandma comment. i work on a floor with people who are really into pets. They have photos of their fur babies everywhere and they refer to them as their children and sometimes I have to ask are you talking about your human child or your fur child.
I hope prom goes well for your daughter...so exciting!!!

Michaele, i have a bad habit of shying away from historicals. i don't know why. I do this with some authors too. But whenever I read a historical, i usually like it and question why i don't read them more often. It's so weird. Maybe it's the book covers b/c i am a visual person and I rarely like the cover an HR.
I will read non-fiction but many historical romance books don’t work for me.

Nice addition of names. 7-Up is my new favorite 🙂
Chan and Courtney...you just thought you were going to get a break from me! 🤣I'm not at all picky about names - can't really complain when I'm so bad at coming up with ideas! I looked through the other teams yesterday and at least half of the other teams have both of our '8' options on their list of potentials, so we're probably safer going with one of the 7 names. My personal preference leans toward the ones that definitely refer to the 7 team members...'7 Swans a Reading', '7 of a Kind', etc. One more option in the vein would be 'The Magnificent Seven".
Just so we can get it out of the way, how about if everyone picks their top 2 favorites from the list in msg #20, and we'll see if anything pops as a favorite.
Actually, I need to correct what I said in my previous post. Crazy Eights has quite a few teams looking at it, but only a couple have Eight is Enough, and none have Eight is Not Enough, so that would be an option too. 🙂

I am really bad at names… just to let you know how bad, my oldest daughter was 8 weeks old before she got her name😀
I like The Magnificent Seven, but do not have a strong opinion so whatever is chosen is great with me
