I can work on this one for our final book, it might take me a day or two though.

Crystal has to post her book. We need at least one book from each member.

I haven’t been able to even start mine so if you ladies are in a rush, I’ll take this as my pass

If everyone doesn’t mind waiting on me (apologies) I’ll get to the book ASAP and hopefully finish tomorrow! My mind needs the distraction.

No problem, Crystal.

I love their books. Have to get to this one.

Karen.. omg, this one is so good thus far!! I like their co-authoring too and I think this is one of my favorites! I’m about 2/3 done.

Here is your next task:

69. Read over 750 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

Professions such as law enforcement officer or musician are fine, just don't try to pass off both a rancher and a chef as in the food industry because they just aren't close enough. Please let me know how you know what profession your character is - is it in the precis or title? Tagged? On a list? I need to know where to look to confirm your books. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count!

Anyone have a favorite profession? We each only need to read a book Of at least 190 pgs.

Is royalty, angel or a prisoner considered a profession lol? Got those coming up on my calendar so just throwing random sh*t out there 😂😂

What about hockey player - sports
Lawyer., Judge, Judicial profession
U. S. Marshall, sheriff, Law enforcement
Musician
Doctor,- medical profession

Those are a few

I don’t think those would be a profession. I think a profession is something you make a living doing.

Law enforcement might be broad enough for us all to find books. I also like medical profession because that could be a doctor or nurse. Musician would be fine along with a specific type of sports such as hockey or football, etc.

I vote for law enforcement, firefighter, musician or doctor.

Military or firefighter could work for me.

Lol had to try, though I think being royalty is actually considered a profession outside the US.

Looks like we have:

Military
Firefighter
Law Enforcement (Sheriff, US Marshall, FBI, CIA, etc.)
Medical Profession (Doctor or Nurse)
Musician

Can everyone vote for one?

I’ll go with military

I will go with Firefighter

Sorry but maybe we should all vote for two so we can see if there’s a majority

Firefighter and Doctor

I'll go with Firefighter or Medical. That's 3 votes for Firefighter. Crystal, can you find a Firefighter book?

If everyone could post a selection post so that we can make sure we have 750 pages, I'd appreciate it.
