Information required when posting your completion/s:

Task
Book/cover link
Page numbers with source
How book qualified, with links or cover as necessary.
Date Completed.
Rating/Review.


**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. I will use the team leader as a point of contact if needed.

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.

PS - If you want to be known as anything other than Team 5, you are free to come up with a team name. 😉

Hola all! I’m excited to play again and feel like winning! I’m in AK so an hour after pacific time.

Some team name ideas:

I have updated some of the preferences in msg 19. Please check and see if its okay, for all.
Jill has given some suggestions which are good for me. Please check those also and if everyone is good with that, we can proceed.

Laks wrote: "I have updated some of the preferences in msg 19. Please check and see if its okay, for all.
Jill has given some suggestions which are good for me. Please check those also and if everyone is good ..."

Laks if you go the link I put for Michaele you can get an idea of what selections were made last time. I literally jut copied and pasted my answers from the last go around.

And for 94 I think it's best to go with completed years that's why I suggested 2018-23.

I can tell you Eugenia's birth month is April

Jill wrote: "Laks wrote: "I have updated some of the preferences in msg 19. Please check and see if its okay, for all.
Jill has given some suggestions which are good for me. Please check those also and if ever..."

Oh no. My bad ! I will check that and add the options as per the old choices

Task 1 - Each teammate reads a book initially published in April of any year OR a book with flowers on the cover - teams decide. No pass for this task.

April showers bring May flowers. Or so the saying goes… It’s been mostly snow showers for us lately, though my daffodils are trying valiantly to bloom! As a team, decide if you are reading books initially published in April of any year OR books with flowers on the cover. (Please note that says ‘flowers’ - plural. Your book must have more than one flower on the cover to qualify.) If the team has decided on April for this task, you will be using the initial publication date - if there is a date at the top of the editions page USE IT! Otherwise I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition of any format for the qualification. If the team has decided on flowers on the cover, you may use any edition’s cover to qualify your book. The qualifying cover must distinctly and clearly show more than one flower on the cover. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion post. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count. No pass for this task.

This task is different than what we have in our lists!

I think we should go with “a book published in April of any year” for this one.

I'm ok with either

I'd be happy with the April task.

Laks, Michaele, any preference?

3 for April then

Laks is in a different time zone, should we go forward with April then?

Also, just in case it ever comes up, don't feel the need to wait for my vote, I am happy to go along with whatever the team decides.

Yes, let’s go with April. I forget, do our books need to be MPG Romance?

I don't see that in the rules, maybe we should double check though?

Also, don't forget the minimum page count is 150! I have screwed that up before.

Whenever a call comes and I am not available...please go with majority. I can go with your decisions. No problem.
Going to choose my book now.
