**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 3, you are free to come up with a team name. 😉

Hi teammates!!!I captained a round, and got totally frustrated in the process, so I would rather just read.
I completely suck at team naming. I was looking at the theme trying to think of something that would fit, but no luck.
Options that don't make much since:
*Between a villain and a hero or Between a hardcover and a paperback
*Best Reading Scenario
*One More Page
*Easier Read than Said
Timezone: Central
State: Louisiana
My name suggestions (I do like Shan's Easier Read than Said)•Prose Before Bros
•Literally Amazing
•No Mansplaining Needed
•Stud Finders
•Let’s Judge a Book by Its Lover
I should be able to post my suggestions on the decision-needed challenges tomorrow.
We're still missing Eugenia's check in but I think Easier Read than Said is the winner.

Definitely ready. I logged on earlier to check to see when the first call was happening. Hoping to get all of my challenge books to line up. 😊
First Task - All Teams!Task 1 - 0. Each teammate reads a book tagged ‘family� or ‘holiday� - teams decide.
As we head into fall this year, I am really looking forward to gathering with family especially for the holidays! So for this task teams need to decide if they are reading books tagged as ‘family� OR books tagged ‘holiday�. Tags are the only qualifier for this task. Include the team decision in your completion posts. Also, please include a link to the top shelves page with your qualifying tag along with how many tags and the top shelves page number in your completion posts.
I vote for holiday, but am happy with either.

Super Sugary Sweet! But so-so story.
Get out that toothbrush, because after reading this Christmas novella you’ll need to brush off the sweetness before you get cavities.
Mistaken identity
Forced proximity
Insta-love
Decent enough, but unmemorable.

No apologies needed Shan. She just list everyone's months, so I'll be reading from August or April, etc.

Michaele has to be September, then, since she can’t do August. Jill and I take August, then.
Sounds good :)I think we should go ahead and pick years for this one now too -
�94. Read 6 books published in sequential years, teams decide years. 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022
That way we can just start reading if we get this one. I'm happy to read 2 books and I can take whatever years are left if anyone has a preference.
No preference for the years, so I'll read whichever.
Will be done with my book before end of day.

Rating/Review: 4 stars ~ Sweet story. I liked how everyone pulled together for little Holly. I wish there had been more details about the town. Usually in small town romances you get a good picture of the small town quirks to fall in love with along with the characters, but not here.
