MountainKat | 31972 comments 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. 😊

MountainKat | 31972 comments 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 7, you are free to come up with a team name. 😉

51. Each teammate reads a different book by the same author, no pass for this task.
I am definitely okay with reading Suzanne Wright for this I have a couple of series going by her.

9. Each player reads a book in the same series, teams decide. No pass for this task.
My vote would be Bootleg Springs by Lucy Score ~ I keep meaning to start this one.

82. Each teammate reads a different book from the same series.
If we choose Suzanne Wright for this I've completed all series except for the following:
Dark in You Series, Deep in Your Veins Series, Devil's Cradle Series~ I can read book 2 for either of these

Aurora Rose Reynolds has a few series ~ depends on series
JT Geissinger - Queens and Monsters ~ Book 1
Sadie Kincaid - Chicago Ruthless ~ Book 1
Bootleg Springs by Lucy Score ~ Book 1

message 15: by Ela (Mouse333) (new)

Ela (Mouse333) | 539 comments For #1, #51 & #73. Each player reads a book by the same author, I'll vote for these three:
Lucy Score <- vote for 73.
Megan Quinn <- 1.
Suzanne Wright <- I agree with Shan ~A~ about 51.

9. Each player reads a book in the same series, teams decide. No pass for this task.
From Bootleg Springs by Lucy Score I would probably reread Moonshine Kiss (book 3)

82. Each teammate reads a different book from the same series.
This would be my vote: Deep in Your Veins by Suzanne Wright - I could reread Here Be Sexist Vampires (book 1)
Devil's Cradle by Suzanne Wright - is this series completed? If so, I could read the first one
Queens and Monsters by JT Geissinger - this would probably be Ruthless Creatures (book 1) so it would probably work better for 9.

Thanks, I'll have to try it, but I just realised that it wouldn't work for 82. because there are only 3 books and everyone has to read a different one.

More suggestions for 82:
We're all on different books for Reapers MC by Joanna Wylde and Bewitched and Bewildered by Alanea Alder

Shan ~A~ do you like to reread? Is there any book in the Psy-Changeling series you'd want to reread?

If I reread the Psy-Changeling series, it would have to be book 1. I bought several of the audiobooks in that series with the intention to that at some point, so I don't mind doing that.

Yes, that is what it was. I thought I remembered seeing it but couldn't remember.

Shan ~A~ | 1874 comments First Task - All Teams!

Task 1 - 0. Read a book honoring Earth Day.

Signups for this round closed on Earth Day. Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year. It is a worldwide event to raise awareness for environmental issues and encourage protection of the planet. To honor Earth Day, read a book with a 22 (combined, not separated) in the initial publication date OR read a book with both green AND blue on the cover, teams decide. If using the publication date option, make sure you use 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 regardless of format for the qualification. Please include the initial publication date in your completion posts. If using the cover option, the qualifying covers need to have both blue AND green on the cover. They do not have to be the primary colors, but both must be present. You can use any edition’s cover as your qualification. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion posts. If in doubt, please ask.


message 23: by Shan ~A~ (new)

Shan ~A~ | 1874 comments Do we want to do read a book with a 22 (combined, not separated) in the initial publication date OR read a book with both green AND blue on the cover?

They do not have to be a certain amount of either color, but both colors must be on the cover.

22 could be 2022 or the 22nd of any month.


I vote for 22

Julie | 902 comments Task 1 - 0. Read a book honoring Earth Day.

Fiendish Delights (Thrill of the Hunt, #2) by Helen Harper Fiendish Delights
Page numbers: 296, Kindle edition
Qualifies: First published March 22nd 2024
Date Completed: 27 April
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review:
Another great read by Helen Harper. Fiendish Delights focuses less on a treasure hunt and more on a magical power struggle. As Otis observes, it's also the 'longest session of foreplay the world has ever seen’ between Daisy & Hugo. However, the book ends on an interesting cliff hanger for Daisy and I'm keen to read what happens next.

Review:
This book was solely about Elli having to experience heat after being on suppressants for so long. I wanted there to be more about the city, what Elli would be doing there after she stayed, Rhen meeting her family, and Elli and Rhen getting to know each other.

Rating: 4 star

Review:
When her sister begs Conleigh to help her out, she does it without question which is why at 17 she is now a mom to a beautiful daughter. Years later she meets her neighbor Gage. While Conleigh is happy with the life she has built with her daughter Collins, she finds a strength in Gage she needs with all the trouble swirling around them. Conleigh is a force and I thought Collins was adorable. One of my favorite authors.

Review: Have you ever read a series that you weren't sure you actually liked, but things keep happening right at the end to make you pick up the next book? That's what's happening here, although this one is a bit better than the first. The beginning picks off where the cliffhanger in book 1 ended. Now Olivia says she's done with Sawyer, but that lasts all of 5 minutes and anyway her response to finding out something from her past was to act like the young person she is instead of actually talking to him about it.

By the end of this one everyone knows about them, and another bombshell is dropped to cause this one to end with a cliffhanger as well. I haven't looked to see if their story goes past 3 books, but if it does with this drama being dragged out, I think I'll just never know how it ends. We'll see.

Shan ~A~ | 1874 comments I am going to start this book right after the one that I am currently reading via audio.

I have 4 books, plus any for this challenge that I'm trying to complete between 04/28-04/30. I was trying to do shorter books for the 4 for the other challenge but was only able to find one that fits the guidelines for page count so far.

Shan~A~ I get the trying to finish end of month/ challenge TBRs. Every month I think I will take it easy but I already have 18 books flagged to be read in May, which doesn’t necessarily include PTP & TART tasks either. I’m addicted clearly! 🤪

Devil's Game (Reapers MC, #3) by Joanna Wylde Devil's Game

Qualifies: #3 ib Reapers MC Series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/9607...
Date Completed: 29 April
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Review:
The writing style was more YA than the first two books due to the young main characters & their antics. I'm still not a fan of Hunter, but I bought into his love for Em and admire his willingness to fight for her.

Reread since it had been a ton of years ago. I liked the idea of this but both Marie and Horse were awful to each other, at times brutally so. Just didn't like the chemistry and name calling.

Reaper's Fall (Reapers MC, #5) by Joanna Wylde
Reaper's Fall by Joanna Wylde
Pages: 384 (Kindle Edition)
How it fits: Reapers MC #5
Finished: 04/29
Rating: 3 stars
Review: It's been a while since I read the other books in this series, so I don't remember exactly what I felt about them, but looking at my previous ratings lets me know there's been some ups and downs along the way. This is Painter & Mel's story. From the Prologue I had assumed the story was about to take off from that point, but it was just glimpse of what was ahead in their future.
Mel had a crush on Painter, then he was arrested, and they became pen pals. He wanted her as well, but he thought she deserved something better than he could provide.
Of course there was some back & forth about this until they collide, then oops. A baby and he freaks out. Why do people act surprised when a baby comes from unprotected sex? I would understand if you know you used a condom and she was on birth control, but what do you expect when you don't use anything at all?
Anyway, along with their relationship drama there are some moves being made in the club as well as against the club and the eventually lose a member.
Her friends annoyed me, but at the same time I would like to see a book featuring Jessica after everything she's been through.

Review:
I liked reading about Reese and London, but I needed to see more scenes with the other members from the club, especially after London’s decision (view spoiler). I did want to read about Melanie and Painter, but I was hoping there would be a book about someone else before that.

I don't usually see that unless I'm using the app. I hate it. Which is why I don't use the app for groups.
