**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.
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 15, you are free to come up with a team name. 😉
If you remain a team of three, I will adjust the task requirements if needed. If I don't remember to do that, please remind me or ask about it!

Hi Guys, I'm Tink, I live in England. I read romance across most genres aside from horror and suspense as I have no patience for it. I have a private profile so will send you a friend request :)
Does anyone want to be the captain or have any ideas for team names?
I'll reserve some spots here for tracking in case either of you don't want to be captain
Hello! I'm Mariem,i'm from Tunisia, i also read all genres except horror, lately i mostly have been reading contemprary romance but i'm always open to read any other genre! It's my first time participating in this challenge so i prefer not to be captain, but in case no one else wants to, i think that i can try and do it.
I'm also very bad with names so i don't really have an idea, sorry.
And for the tasks we need to discuss, should we wait to see if a fourth member is joining us or should we start taking decisions now?
Hi all. I'm ChristinaT from Iowa which is in the middle of the States for those of you who aren't as familiar with our geography. This puts me in the Central time zone but I work Grave shift so I often end up online in the morning after work. I do most of my posting from my phone which is not always the easiest when it comes to copy and paste type things. I do have an old laptop but only get on it once or twice a week because it frustrates me to no end (it like to freeze a lot.)I would prefer to not be captain of that is alright. I'm already captain in another group game and I don't feel as if I could give 100%to it here at the same time but would absolutely be a co-captain if that would help.
I've done this challenge multiple times and love it. I think it's my favorite. Deciding some of the harder tasks ahead of time is a great idea.
I read primarily romance in various subgenres except m/m and very little NA. My favorites are paranormal and suspense. I also read a lot of UF and Mysteries.
Oh I hope it was ok that I invited Nayara to the group without discussing it with you all. I've been in team challenge with her before and she's open to read anything. We suited pretty well and I thought it would work again.
The more the merrier :) I'll try and captain then, I haven't done it before so I might need a nudge. And we may as well start discussing.
I'm away this weekend but when I briefly looked before I think we all had Elle Kennedy on our lists.
I also checked and here's a list of authors we all have at least two books on either our read or to read lists: Elle Kennedy, Kristen Callihan, Kresley Cole, Sarina Bowen and Jennifer L. Armentrout. I think there's some others authors but those are the ones i've seen so far.
Hello everyone! Thanks you for having me.I'm Nayara from Brazil. I love reading romance and all its subgenres. I also read another genres, specially fantasy/UF. But I'm open to read pretty much everything.
I'm terrible with names, but I'll think about something and get back to you.
Well it's official our team is a Cornucopia of readers! 🇧🇷 🇬🇧 🇹🇳 🇺🇸

I thought that when she said it too. 😊
We may have a new member joining and I think we need to try and get an idea for some of the tasks. So far -
Authors in common -
Elle Kennedy, Kristen Callihan, Kresley Cole

Welcome Jodi! Hey all I'm an out running errands for Mom. Haven't been to bed yet but today officially starts my vacation. I'm having a stay-cation and not traveling but I'm just tickled I don't have to go to work until Oct 2nd. 😁I'll jump on my laptop when I get home and answer the questions but you'll all find I'm pretty laid-back about choices with the exception of the dreaded have to read the same author and have to read the same series prompts. My problem with those is I'm a mood reader. I will happily choose a UF author/series/book in most cases though so Kresley Cole works well as she has books in multiple genres. Kristen Callihan does as well. Jennifer Ashley is another.
Birth year 1973 so we have two 70s children and two 80s children which isn't great when it comes romances. Thank goodness Mariem is a 2002! Yay for being young!
Ok those are some little thoughts for now. I'll be back later! I'm so excited to do this challenge with you ladies!
