MountainKat | 30375 comments Here is your next task!

Task 4 - 10. Read 4 books by authors who write under more than one name (Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb).

Books selected for this task need to be written by authors who write under more than one name. Authors such as Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb or Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle would work for this task. Please include a link to the author’s profile or website showing both names in your completion posts.

Shia (808bookdr) | 128 comments Ok here are some I can think off the top of my head:

Christina Lauren
Kennedy Fox
Meg Cabot

If you need recs!


message 112: by Vi (last edited Apr 24, 2023 11:04AM) (new)

Vi | 2744 comments Shia, I don't think Christina Lauren and Kennedy Fox will work. They are author duos and I don't think they have other pseudonym. Do you have more info on this? Meg Cabot will work.

Jamie Farrell writes as Pippa Grant (based on the bookcovers)
Rowling J.K. writes as Robert Galbraith
Jennifer Ashley has other pseudonyms -Allyson James
Shelly Laurenston writes as G. A. Aiken
Elle Pierson as Lucy Parker (or vice versa)

Some of them I know.

Yes, it should be someone who has published under multiple names. At least GR should list them as separate authors.

MountainKat | 30375 comments Here is your next task!

Task 5 - 3. Each player reads a book by a new to you author - no pass for this task.

To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be written by a new to you author. You may have other books by the selected author on your shelves, but only the book selected for this task can be marked as read/rated. Include a link to your read shelf in your completion post, ideally sorted to your selected author. Please make sure the book you read for this task is on your shelves and marked as read. If your profile is private, you will either need to open if for the duration of this task or friend me so I can confirm your book. If I cannot confirm your book, the task is not completed.

River Wild by Samantha Towle

Task #: 5
Task: Read a book by a new-to-me author.
Book: River Wild
Author: Samantha Towle
Page Numbers: 301
Date Completed: 29 April
How Book Fits: First book read by Samantha Towle. Shelf Link
Rating/Review: 2 stars
For a book that deals with difficult subjects, the book is remarkably light. Maybe it was my expectations.. I was expecting a dark(er) romance where the ramifications of the abuse is very obvious. Instead, the characters seemed to will it away. I was happy for them but it felt very Disney-ish.

MountainKat | 30375 comments I will check your completions tomorrow.

Here is your next task!

Task 6 - 23. Each teammate reads a book that has been read by one of the RRRC moderators. No pass for this task.

To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be marked as read by one of the RRRC moderators. There is no date requirement for this task, but the selected book must be marked as read and rated. Please include a link to the moderator's review or read shelf in your completion posts. To make your searching easier - Fran, Jane, Karen and I all read MM Romance, but Jane reads MM exclusively. Fran, Karen and I read both MF and MM.

Fran's profile is private, but I'm sure she will accept any friend requests. 😊

MountainKat | 30375 comments Here is your next task!

Task 7 - 46. Read over 1000 pages in books written by duo authors.

Books selected for this task need to be written by two authors. If both authors names are listed on the main book page/cover, then just list the authors as your qualification. If the two authors write under a pseudonym such as Ilona Andrews, then include a link to the pseudonym's profile page or a website showing the pseudonym is two authors. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

so if we hit this page count with less than 4 of us, will that still count?

Ariel (aellen) | 920 comments I have a book that is 388 pages so with math, Brittney's book and my book come to 789. If Shia and Vi both read books at least 200-250 pages, we should be good.
