I have this window open, so I should remember to check books and assign your task as soon as I get on the computer tomorrow. (That is the soonest you are eligible for a new task.) If I am straggling, please send a kick in the pants my way! Things should be slowing down tomorrow and I do plan to spend some time getting caught up with this challenge then.

Here is your next task!

Task 12 - 76. Read 6 books with a specific item on the cover, team selects item.

As a team, select a specific item and read 6 books with the selected item on the cover. Jewelry is not specific, but earrings are. Weapon is not specific, but gun is. (As examples.) You can use any edition's cover to qualify for this task. Please include the selected item and the qualifying cover in your completion posts.

I think hat was the winner for this.

Yes, hat, here's a lis that could help -

I will check your books later, but...

Here is your next task!

Task 13 - 61. Read 4 books rated over 4.5 on GR.

Books selected for this task need to have an average rating of 4.5 or higher on GR. You can find this information on the main book page under the title or add it to the settings on your shelves. Please include the average rating in your completion posts. If the average rating may drop below 4.5 during this task, for example if it is a new book with very few ratings, a screen shot might be advisable.

Dang! That was fast! I just got home and now have picked a book. Happy reading!

Is there a list somewhere with books rated 4.5 or higher? I'm struggling.

I just ordered my want to read shelf by rating and scrolled until I found one I wanted to read.

For me there was a past task which needed to be under and I remembered this author's books were all over. So, I went straight to this specific author.

Shan, did you find a book or did you want to take a pass since we have 4 books read?

Eugenia wrote: "Shan, did you find a book or did you want to take a pass since we have 4 books read?"

My bad, I swore I read this as a 6 book task.

I ended up finding several and just went with the shortest one.

Should we have gotten a new task today? Or I am off a day?

No, we should have gotten a new task

Is our completion post posted to the tracking thread?

Eugenia wrote: "Is our completion post posted to the tracking thread?"

Yes, it is. I know Mkat had a lot going on, so she just might be running behind schedule.

She does, but some teams who posted their completions after us got their new tasks already.

My apologies - things are really crazy!! As soon as you complete this next task, I will assign your new one even if two days haven't passed.
