**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 Chase the Rainbow, just let me know!

Woah, that's loads to read! What's your position?
I'm so glad to be only a fan! 😅😅
Im a chaser which is prob the easiest ..3 books thats all ..fortunately im on holiday this week 😄
I am here! Will do the shelves sometimes soon, trying to get caught up on reviews/quidditch then restaurant then can come back to here (you all ever think we're bonkers to do as many challenges as we do?!)
We're definitely bonkers..but we love it all the same 😄😄
The days when you have to wait for the next day to start a book I'm like....uhhh what am I supposed to do?! lol
Can I leave my recommendations the same? I'll update the 5 favorites since there are less of those but I feel like the 15 should be food for one more round since we just did it last round lol
Amanda wrote: "Can I leave my recommendations the same? I'll update the 5 favorites since there are less of those but I feel like the 15 should be food for one more round since we just did it last round lol"Yeah thats fine ...was that an accidental mistake or are you subconsciously turning everything into food 😂😂😂
LOL probably I want to say just a typo but who knows at this point. I perked up when a TV show mentioned vinegar 😂
For #99, I switched my 5 to all new ones.For #12, our lists can be as long as we want, right?
Trio how did you get on at My Chem ?
Im still trying to catch up after that quiddich game , will go through all.our tasks tomorrow ready for our call tomorrow night 😔
I'm so thankful I didn't sign up for quiddich.my chem was amazing! they were crazy high energy, and a very different vibe from a couple weeks ago. plus we had GA tickets this time so were able to stand super close, which I love to do!
Glad you had a good time Trio I did read a few reviews and watch some of the video clips on you tube
okay I'm all updated with my lists then, ready for tomorrow :)
Ok girls, i think everything is up to date , if ive forgotten something or when cat called you prefer something else , then feel free as we all pretty easy going and are not in a rush .I think first call is tonight so Caipi & me will probably be in bed so we'll catch up tomorrow
Sounds good! I’m on quidditch again this round so if call doesn’t work with that may not get to the book until Friday.
Are you on every quiddich I'm only on the one , and i didnt get any points at all for my books , the other team bet me on pg count everytime 😄😄🤬🤬
It looks like they’re only switching us out if we don’t want to do a round so i can opt out of the next one but probably won’t. I’m a beater so it’s just 300+ pages so I can do that and usually work it around other challenges
Our boss just shared them all out between those who volunteered
First Task - All Teams!0. Read a sports romance (MPG) or a book with a primarily green cover, teams decide which. No pass for this task.
With both college and pro football seasons starting, I’m sure I’m not the only one with sports on the brain! As a team, decide if you are a book with primarily green cover or a book with MPG Sports Romance. If selecting a sports romance, it can either be the generic Sports (alone or combined) or the specific sports such as football, baseball or hockey - but it MUST be MPG! If selecting books for the cover option, green must be the primary color you see on the cover to qualify. No pass for this task
I think sports romance is easier but I'm okay with both options. :)
This was earlier than i thought Im ok with sports
I'm good with sports... but too bad I literally just finished Carrie Soto Is Back which was spectacular. Gah, my timing truly stinks 😂.
Sports is my vote as well! And I did the same thing Trio. I just finished Fresh Ice yesterday and loved it! I feel like this happens every time lol.
I also finished You're a Mean One, Matthew Prince which was a 5 star read with a green cover so no matter what we chose I would've just finished it yesterday 😂
Amanda wrote: "Sports is my vote as well! And I did the same thing Trio. I just finished Fresh Ice yesterday and loved it! I feel like this happens every time lol."
I thought , " this looks good , I'll read it"...then i noticed its not out till next month 🙄🙄😄
Ok, we'll go with sports and ill take a look
Janeylou wrote: "Amanda wrote: "Sports is my vote as well! And I did the same thing Trio. I just finished Fresh Ice yesterday and loved it! I feel like this happens every time lol."
I thought , "..."
I do recommend it when it does come out!
This series has been releasing 1 a week /series/3450... I read the second one and enjoyed it (also probably a good each read a book from the same series choice)
Amanda wrote: "Janeylou wrote: "Amanda wrote: "Sports is my vote as well! And I did the same thing Trio. I just finished Fresh Ice yesterday and loved it! I feel like this happens every time lol..."
Lol the one I read was not sports and I just assumed it was even though I have already read it. I don't know what's going on in my brain right now.

Playing Games by Riley Hart
255 Pages
How it qualifies: MPG Sports
Date Read: 9/16/2022
Rating: 3 Stars
Review: This was sweet and really angst free (there were lots of set ups for maybe some conflict but they overall didn't come to pass as expected), but for some reason I felt a little unfulfilled. I don't have a concrete reason, it was good and I did enjoy it, I just believe I will ultimately forget it soon after finishing
Now ive got to get back to using first kindle edition !!
Janeylou wrote: "Now ive got to get back to using first kindle edition !!"Forgot about that! I actually find it to be the easiest to follow compared to edition you read or default because I can never keep those two straight
I just wish all challenges were the same 😄😄

The Unforgiving Minuteby Sarah Granger
236 pgs
Finished 15 sept
Fits ..MPG sports x 46
i read that this book was about tennis and thought " I'll give it 10 minutes " I don't do tennis but even though most of the story takes place during the tournaments you didn't feel overwhelmed by it .it was a nice easy going read, loved Ryan from the start Josh took a bit longer but we got the in the end and loved the bit straight after the final .and 10/10 for miss Granger because I could probably watch a match now and understand the scoring
