If you are using tags/shelves as your qualifier, please include a link to the top shelves page with the qualifying tag - not the page for the shelf or the page of who has tagged the book.

🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 6🌹🌹Theme - Summer Lovin'🌹
Q&A:
Q: MM romances are ok for this?
A: Yes, just has to be romance.
Q: When do I have to choose the book(s) I want to read? When do I announce them?
A: You don't have to announce or post which book you select as you do in the PtP, but you have to post when you complete the book with all the required information. It might be helpful to post when you find a book that works - your teammates might be looking for a book too. Or someone could use your book as a second book, especially if your review makes it sound good!
But you can select your book and start reading as soon as the date task is announced. Books must completed and posted by the end of the date to count though - there is not carryover into the next date.
Q: Just wondering if it’s ok to participate in this challenge if I’m in Australia I.e. in a different time zone!
A: Absolutely! The times for announcing and ending the dates will be based on US EST, but you are more than welcome to play! And you wouldn't be the only international player - of the top of my head I know we have Australia, Italy and England represented already. 😊
Q: What do you mean by tagged?
A: Tagged = shelved. So if anyone has shelved a book as 'alpha' or any of the others listed, it can be used for that task.
Q: Would it be alright to read an anthology/ a short story collection up to 90+ pages, so to read all the stories up to 90 pages and then finish that short story?
A: If you are using the anthology to qualify for the page count you would need to finish the entire book. Not just 90 pages and the novella that works for the theme. You can check to see if the individual novella is be listed on GR (not in an anthology) and see if it qualifies on it's own for the page count.
Q: As long as book is tagged romance on first page it qualifies???? or does it have to be historical romance, paranormal romance etc
A: Just has to have romance - on its own or combined with contemporary, historical or whatever.
Q: Can we use books we're reading to fulfill other challenges for this one?
A: Absolutely! Multitasking is the best!
Q: Can a group of us sign up as a team?
A: No, teams will be randomly assigned. That way you get to meet and play with new people. 😊
Q: What do you mean by “in precís?”
A: The précis is the book blurb on GR or back cover, so the qualifying description would need to be included there.
Q: Does romance have to be an MPG or can it be on a list of shelves?
A: It has to be MPG romance, but it can be historical romance, contemporary romance, romantic suspense, paranormal romance, mm romance - it just has to have romance.
Q: For the tasks that require tagging can it be from any of the pages of shelves?
A: Yes.
Q: What does MPG mean?
A: 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.
Q: So...each letter has 4 choices.....does only one get picked per week? Or are we given a choice?
A: One of the four will be randomly selected each week.
Q: What are the rules if the book is so bad you can’t finish it?
A: That is hard for this challenge, since you can read multiple books. But I will accept DNFs if you read to the minimum page count of this challenge (90 p.) AND 70% of the book. You must also state that the book is a DNF and explain why in your completion, include the page number you finished on as well.
Q: Are combo tags acceptable?
A: Combo tags will be allowed IN CONTEXT. So if the task is to read a book with a firefighter and your book is tagged 'cops_firemen_military', but the precis indicates the hero is a sheriff for example (or even if all the other tags just indicate law enforcement), the book will be disqualified. I strongly suggest you find other qualification if possible - I will be SUPER PICKY with the combo tags.
Q: Are abridged audiobooks ok for this challenge?
A: No, abridged audiobooks are not allowed for this challenge! They are not complete books and will not be counted as such.
Q: Is there a way to use books that are available in audiobook format only? No paper or ebook options for page count.
A: It is difficult to even estimate a page count based on the length of an audiobook because they vary so widely. But rather than disallowing audio only books altogether, because a minimum page count is required for this challenge, I have come up with a compromise.
If an audio only book is 6 hours or longer, it will count as a book towards your and your team's books, but it will not have a page count associated with it. So audio only books will not add towards the Page Turner Rose or be in consideration for the Longest Date Rose. This applies to AUDIO ONLY books, if the book has a page count that must be used!
Q: Can any edition be used for the page count?
A: We are using the English language first edition Kindle page count ONLY for this challenge! Do not use the actual edition you read - I have no way of knowing that. This evens out the unfair advantage for those books that have large print editions or other extended formats and makes allowances for those that listen to audiobooks.
Q: What about manga, graphic novels, comics... if they are over 90 pages and romance?"
A: No, that would not be acceptable. Hardly fair in a team competition.
Q: When asked for a correction and repost, do I have to repost?
A: Yes, reposts are required for corrections unless specified otherwise. I do not go back through threads looking for corrections - it would take an incredible amount of time to do so! If you want your book to count, corrections MUST be reposted.

Questions about Date Tasks:
🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 6🌹🌹Theme - Summer Lovin'🌹
How to insert a link into a post:
To insert a simple link to a shelf there are a couple of options:
* Copy the https address in the address bar of the page where the book is found - highlight the web-address, copy the address, and paste into your post
or
* Find a link to the shelf that you want (eg on my lists of shelves to use for the themes), right click with your mouse, select 'Copy Link Location' and then paste into your post
If you want to make it pretty and have a specific name:
* Type <*a href="insert the link that you copied as per above">name the location<*/a> but without the asterisks.
🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 6🌹🌹Theme - Summer Lovin'🌹
Here's how you find if a book you want to read fits a particular shelf:
1. Go to GR book page for the book you want to read.
2. Scroll down the page just a bit and click on "see top shelves..." (link under "Genres"). This will take you to the Top Shelves
3. With that (top shelves) page open in your browser, click: CTRL-F (Windows users) or Command-F (Mac users) to bring up your FIND option
4. Type the EXACT shelf name in the FIND search box.
5. With the shelf name in your FIND search box, on the book's 'top shelves' page, click NEXT as you scroll through each page. Sometimes you find it and sometimes you don't. You still have to scroll through the pages, but this way, the computer does the searching for you.
TIP: Try to look for shelves that you think could fit the book because although some books are not shelved properly, most of the shelves have some logic to it. For example, you will find Dark Lover in the Paranormal Romance, Vampires, Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Adult, Supernatural, Erotica, Contemporary and tons of others (there are 44 pages of shelves for this book) but don't try to look for Dark Lover in the inspirational romance shelf. It's doubtful that you find it. :)

Quick question about the MPG Romance requirement. I do understand that we're looking for a Romance or Romance variation MPG tag. But I read a lot of Reverse Harem romances, generally by indie authors, and occasionally a fairly new release will have a MPG of Polyamorous - Reverse Harem, without having the Romance tag. For example: Hidden River Five. All the other books in the series have Romance MPG but this one only has Polyamorous > Reverse Harem. Is this acceptable? If not, I totally get it, just wanted to check since it is sort of a Romance tag, but doesn't have the right wording.
Laura wrote: "Quick question about the MPG Romance requirement. I do understand that we're looking for a Romance or Romance variation MPG tag. But I read a lot of Reverse Harem romances, generally by indie autho..."No, that is not acceptable. There is no exception to the MPG Romance rule for this challenge. You are free to tag/shelf the book as 'romance' prior to the date beginning, and some of your teammates may help you there too. As long as it shows when I check, you are good.
I will emphasize again that this should be done before the date begins! I have checked books and ruled them out if I see it was the reader was the only one who shelved the book 'romance' and it was done after the date begins.

I am loving these team names!! 😂I will send out messages to those teammates still missing either tonight or tomorrow.
Just a reminder that everyone should make sure they have notifications turned on for their team threads! And it wouldn't hurt to have them for this thread too - this is where I will communicate with everyone about this challenge. 😉
Date 1 - B - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 1.Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.
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.
B is for Ball - Read a sports romance.
To qualify, your book needs to be a sports romance. This can be evident in the precis, title, series, tags or lists. The qualification can be generic such as 'sports' and 'sports romance' or it can be specific such as 'football', 'hockey' 'baseball' and 'quarterback'. Remember, you need to let me know how you know the book qualifies - simply saying 'hero is an athlete' is NOT enough!
B is for Bear - Read a shifter romance.
To qualify, your book needs to include in the title, precis, list or tags 'shapeshifter', 'shifter', or 'were-something'.
B is for Both - Read a book written by duo authors, either under a pseudonym or using both of their names. Anthologies not allowed for this task.
To qualify for this task, the book needs to be written by two authors. Two authors will need to be listed on the GR main book/book cover or a link must be provided to the authors' GR page if the pair uses a pseudonym. If the pseudonym's GR page does not specify that it is a writing duo, then a link to their website must ALSO be provided.
B is for Buddy - Read a friends to lovers romance.
To qualify, the selected book needs to be a friends to lovers romance as indicated in the precis, tags or lists.

Don't ..."
This is just the breakdown if you're looking for a scavenger hunt book.
There is only one "B" that gets called for the date on Saturday at 6pm Eastern. This is in message 2 of your group.
Thank you! I'll go back and reread. I appreciate the help!
Maggie wrote: "First stupid question(I warned you I would have them when I volunteered for captain LOL)

This is just a more specific breakdown of what will work for each task. I will post something like this before each date begins. If you are looking for a Scavenger Hunt book, it needs to fit all those qualifications, but one task will be randomly selected for each date starting with B.
Each date will begin on Saturday at 6 PM US Eastern time (US EDT). I don't start dates early and will always post the announcement for the task at or very shortly after that time - I have an alarm set on my phone, seriously!
Don't worry about asking questions! I know this seems complicated at first, but it gets easier. 😊
I will get the team names updated shortly!

Thanks Kat!
This is so awesome! Everyone has checked in and confirmed! AND all the teams have names!And I LOVE the team names! I sing them or giggle through them all. 😂 It's the little things sometimes that make my 'job' so much fun!
Now we just get to wait until tomorrow to get started! In about 27 hours... (Tick, tick, tick..!)
Hi there, I had two questions come in from one of my teammates. I read through the Q&A above and didn't see anything for these two.
here are the questions:
1 - Any time length restrictions on re-reads?
2 - If I start a book before the Date task is assigned, can it be used, or only books started after?
Maggie wrote: "1 - Any time length restrictions on re-reads?"No, you can reread book you just finished if you so desire. A book can only be used once during this challenge though - so you can't read a book for B and also for C.
Maggie wrote: "2 - If I start a book before the Date task is assigned, can it be used, or only books started after?"
Books must be started after the date begins and the task is announced. (That is true for all RRRC challenges, books can't be started early. For individual challenges like the Monthly Challenge, you can backdate to the beginning of the month if you join later but books still have to be read within the month.)

ARCs are okay as long as they are listed on GR with a page count and fulfill all the other challenge and task requirements.

Does a tag work if it's worded like this: "tag-sports-romance"?
Vicki wrote: "Does a tag work if it's worded like this: "tag-sports-romance"?"I'm assuming you are asking for a Scavenger Hunt book, because the selected task for this date is 'Buddy', not 'Ball'. I believe it should work, but if you want a definite answer, PM me with a link for the book and any other info I should check.

Congrats to Team 3: Some Like It Hot for winning the Speed Dating Rose for Date 1!!
quick question I completed two books for the date do I have to make a separate post for each book or can I do a combination post?

Separate posts makes it less likely that I will miss something though. I'm flexible as long as everything is clearly laid out for me.
Does a tag of "best friend romance" work for Friends to Lovers?Forgiveness and Permission, page 10 of tags.
Also, on page 15 it has "Fall For Best Friend".
