🌹Theme - Ten Things I Hate About You🌹

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. 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 and anthologies 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 ??? (hidden task), Big Bang (night sky), Bland (average rating 3-3.99) and Brat (selfish hero/heroine). 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 cumulative 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.

MountainKat | 32337 comments ❤️ 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!

🌹Theme - Ten Things I Hate About You🌹

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.

MountainKat | 32337 comments ❤️ 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.

🌹Theme - Ten Things I Hate About You🌹

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. 😊

🌹Theme - Ten Things I Hate About You🌹

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 Ten Things I Hate About You and your team name should relate to that. Captains, please post your team name in the Q&A thread when you have decided.

Aiswrya | 2083 comments Popping in to say hi! My name is Aiswrya (Aish-war-ya). Live in NJ with my husband. Lovely to meet all of you!

I’ve played this challenge numerous times in the past, although it has been a few years since I last played. I have read the rules and am onboard! Life has become much busier in the recent years, so I don’t have too much time to read. I promise to read one book per week, but you will have to excuse me from the scavenger hunt and the speed dating roses.

I have family visiting through the rest of the week, so I’ll check back in after they leave :) I’m okay with whatever name y’all come up with!

Not sure exactly where or when yet. It’s been a pretty insane year. I’ve done this challenge a few times now and will do my best to get as many books in as possible!

“I Eight the Way You Made Me Love You” came to mind for a team name

Christina T (crysteena73) | 1719 comments Hi everyone! I'm ChristinaT from Iowa. I've participated in this challenge multiple times and I'm never on a winning team but have such a blast doing it. I work Graveyard Shift and every weekend so my sleeping/work schedule will never allow me to read a book fast enough to claim a speed Date Rose. I do read quite a bit but with other challenges going on some weeks I may only get one or two books read.

I've been on teams with some of you.... nice to see you again! And hello to those new to me 👋

I read the instructions and understand them!

Team name.... I'm terrible at coming up with names. In the movie 10 Things I Hate About You #8 is...
[8] I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.

It's a little long but how about "I h8 the way you make me laugh"? Or is that too obscure of a movie reference 😆

I am terrible with naming teams, the only thing I came up with today was "Your Face" (as in one of the things I hate about you). I like the suggestions that reference our team number.

Lea | 1631 comments Hi Everybody
Sorry for the late check in, been a busy week
My name is Lea, I live in the suburbs of Copenhagen Denmark which makes my time zone CET (6-9 hours ahead of the US). This makes the speed dating rose a little hard…
I live with my husband and 2 girls
I love listening to audiobooks while knitting to relax from a busy workday.

I just spend 3 months in the US on a road trip with my family, so we all still adjusting to “normal” life, also with my reading habits.
It was absolute best of life time trip and all the impressions are slowly settling in

I have post # 6 and understand the rules

For names I do not have strong opinion but like I H8 the way you make me laugh

Christina T (crysteena73) | 1719 comments I listened to Malibu Rising and didn't care for it that much. It was ok but not something I'd jump into a sequel for. I think I was in the minority though. Most people loved it.

Lea | 1631 comments Malibu Rising is definitely not my favorite of hers, but as I remember I did enjoy it, but not enough to reread it.
As I really enjoyed some of her other books, I had high expectations and it did not quite live up to that… So maybe it deserves a reread at some point.
But for now I will add Carrie Soto Is Back to my to read list
