🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 4🌹
🌹Theme - Second Chance Romance🌹

The dates will begin on Saturdays at 6 PM EST, at that time the task for each date will be announced. Books must be completed and posted by the following Friday at Midnight EST, except when on your 'Romantic Getaway' when you will have until the second Friday. Roses will be awarded before the next date begins. Each date we will be working towards spelling out B-A-C-H-E-L-O-R. The tasks for each letter will be posted in advance, but you will not know which task will be used until the date begins.

Roses are earned by:
🌹 The First Rose 🌹 Teams earn this rose by reading 4 books fitting the task during the date. (One rose possible per team per date.)
Bonus roses may be earned by:
🌹 Speed Dating Rose 🌹 The team that has 4 members finishing 4 books (1 each) and posts in the Q&A/Announcement thread first wins this bonus rose. Note, posting is required to earn this rose. (One rose possible per date.)
🌹 Team Dating Roses 🌹 Teams with each member completing the task (with a minimum of 6 books read) earn 3 additional roses. (Three roses possible per team per date.)
🌹 Serial Dating Rose 🌹 For every multiple of 8 books read, teams will earn a rose. So 8 books is one rose, 16 books is 2 roses, 24 books is 3 roses and so on. (Number of roses will vary each date, maximum of 7 per team per date.)
🌹 Multiple Date Rose 🌹 The player who reads the most books for the date earns this bonus rose for their team. (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Longest Date Rose 🌹 The player that reads the longest book for the date earns this bonus rose for their team. Please note that boxed sets will NOT be counted towards this rose! (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Page Turner Rose 🌹 The team that reads the most combined pages for the date, English language editions only for page count, earns this bonus rose. (One rose possible per date unless there is a tie.)
🌹 Scavenger Hunt Rose 🌹This special rose is earned by finding a book that fits each rule for the letter the date represents, for example B is for Band (musician or singer), Beard (facial hair on cover), Bed (bed on cover or in precis) and Big (over 300 pages). After posting your completion, post in the Scavenger Hunt thread to claim the book. Both posts, in your team thread and the Scavenger Hunt thread, should list the qualifications for each task, i.e. be identical. This rose may be earned multiple times per date but only once per book. The first person to post each book claims the rose for that book. (Number of roses available per date will vary, maximum of 7 per person per date.)

Teams will not be eliminated even if they earn no roses, they will have a chance to catch up by earning additional roses on other dates. Players will be eliminated if they do not complete the task on two consecutive dates. Eliminated players will not be replaced. Remember, players are allowed to read multiple books for a given date in order to earn bonuses and/or to make up for teammates who do not read their book or who have been eliminated.

❤️ Information required when posting your completion/s: ❤️

❤️ Date Task
❤️ Book/cover link
❤️ Page numbers with source **We are now using the English language GR Kindle first edition page count ONLY, if available. Ebook page count will be acceptable if no Kindle page count available. If GR doesn't have a page count listed, please link to the Amazon Kindle book with a page count.**
❤️ How book qualified, with links or cover as necessary. Links required for lists, tags and other editions.
❤️ Dated Completed with Rating.
❤️ If this is your second (or more) book for the task, also include that information.

Please include only this information. A small review may be included if desired, but is not required. No other discussion allowed though.

❤️You will need make a new post for your completions.❤️ If you update a prior post, i.e., if you saved posts for your completions, they will be missed when I do the accounting for each date. Make sure your books count - make a new post!

Although you will not need to make selection posts like in the PtP, your teammates might like ideas for what to read so sharing what you're reading could be very helpful. If you have any question if your book qualifies, it would be better to find out before you read it - ask your teammates or in the Q&A/Announcement thread.

If you are claiming a Scavenger Hunt book: After posting your completion, also post in the Scavenger Hunt thread to claim the book. Both posts, in your team thread and the Scavenger Hunt thread, should list the qualifications for each task, i.e. be identical.

DO NOT DELETE COMMENTS OR POSTS! Even if your book doesn't qualify or you are asked for corrections, do not delete your comment. Deleted comments will confuse the tracking and may lead to books being missed! If you wish, you may strike through your comment using < s > ... < /s > without the spaces, but do not delete the comment or post!

🌹Theme - Second Chance Romance🌹

Books must be 90 pages and MPG Romance. Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance or similar is acceptable, but it must be romance. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS on the MPG Romance rule. We will be using the English language first edition Kindle page count ONLY for this challenge. Audiobooks and rereads are ok. Abridged audiobooks are NOT ALLOWED for this challenge. Books can only be read once per person during the challenge even if it fits multiple categories. Once the task for the date is announced, you may not tag a book so that it fits or edit any lists - this must be done before the date begins.

MPG = Main Page Genre:
On the main page of the book on the right hand side there is a section that says "Genres". Anything listed under that section is counted as an MPG.

MPG Romance = Main Page Genre Romance:
In the "Genres" section described above, there must be 'Romance". It could be Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Paranormal Romance or MM Romance, but it has to have 'Romance' listed.

❤️ Completion Posts ❤️

When making your completion posts, remember you must include how the book/s qualify. If the task states, for example (and this is just an example!):

A is for Athlete - Read a sports romance, qualification from the title, précis, list or tags.

Saying 'the hero is a runner' or 'MC is an athlete' doesn't qualify the book. Using 'précis states that hero is a football player' or 'tagged sports by 7 people' does qualify the book. Remember that links are required for lists, tags and different editions.

Also, when using the cover as the qualifier, post the cover image in your completion.

Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.

Don't make more work for yourself than necessary - if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don't have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the page count and edition - say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!

You may use separate editions of your Scavenger Hunt books to qualify for the different tasks. Links MUST be provided.

Please confirm that you have read the instructions for this challenge and understand that you are committing to read at least ONE book a week. Confirm that you understand the books you choose are required to be MPG Romance and a minimum of 90 p. using the first edition Kindle page count as well as fit the requirement for the current date task.

I will be tracking each team's completions and using the captains' tracking to confirm before awarding roses at the end of each date.

Captains, anything you can do to help is appreciated, particularly with the Longest Date and Page Turner Roses! Simply listing the completions with message number is great though - links are not required, but always appreciated. 😊

🌹The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 4🌹
🌹Theme - Second Chance Romance🌹

Captains, please reserve a few spaces for tracking.

Introduce yourselves to your teammates. Let then know where you are from, what your interests are in life and in books! Consider friending each other, that makes it easier to follow the goings on.

Your first task as a team is to come up with a team name. The theme of Second Chance Romance and your team name should relate to that. Captains, please post your team name in the Q&A thread when you have decided.

For Ease Of Access

B is for Band - Read a book featuring a musician or singer.
     To qualify for this task, the title, series title, précis, list or tag would need to indicate that a MC is a musician or singer.

To qualify for this task, the book needs to be in the middle of a series or trilogy - not the first book and not the last.

Hi, Everyone! I'm Rhiannon (obviously) and I live in Boise, Idaho.

I like reading basically anything fiction besides horror. And sometimes I can get pressured into reading that as well 😅 .
Besides that, I work, camp, hang out with friends, and read. So much reading.
I have read the rules, and understand them.

Hi everyone! I'm Apoorva and I live in Delhi, India.

I like reading a lot and usually I can read 4-5 books a week (sometimes even more lol). This is my first time doing this challenge, but since I'm a quick learner and reader, hopefully I'll get through well :D
Besides reading, I like maths and music and .... computer stuff lol.
I'm looking forward to teaming up with you guys. (And I'm really competitive 😅)

I like all of them but I like Not Our First Rodeo the most.

Hi everyone, I'm Susan and I'm a mom to 7 kids and 12 grandkids. I've been married for 34 years and have lived my whole life in Las Vegas, NV (54 years)

I read every genre but love romance, mystery, and fantasy the most. I read it all but I favor those genres.

I can read 2-3 books a week usually.

I love the name Not Our First Rodeo A LOT!!!

I like the "... Computer stuff" makes you sound like a hacker. Don't tell me it isn't so 🤪 Did you have any name suggestions yourself to add to the list?

But, on a serious note, everyone else, do we want to be really competitive? I'd like to be able to plan either way, on how hard to work at it 😅

I am not a hacker but I do plan on going into ethical hacking, so anyhow......😂 I know, I didn't realize it until you pointed out how shady that sounded.
I didn't have any particular suggestions but I will try to think of something.
I wouldn't mind keeping my competitive side in control if we choose otherwise. I was just trying to say that if anything was required of me, I would try my best. And I have a big TBR which unfortunately (or fortunately), is mine to demolish😂

Hi everyone I am Lillian aka Sexyladi. I live in Chi Town, work graveyard shift at the Post office. I have been with my husband for 42 years have 3 children, 2 boys and a girl and 4 grand children 2 boys and 2 girls. I read contemporary, paranormal, reverse harems, menage, MFM , biracial, multicultural, sports, suspense romance. I can read up to 5 to 6 books a week depending on my read time.

I like all of them but I like Lightning Rarely Strikes Twice" the most.

Hi everyone! I'm Maura and I'm kind of a noob at the challenge thing but I'm learning and getting some experience. When I'm not teaching pubescent children, I love reading and video gaming...and I'm trying my hand at gardening now. During the summer when I have more free time, I can usually polish off 3-4 (possibly more) books a week and I travel a lot. As for reading tastes - everything under the sun for romance except the stronger kink and dark romance. And outside of romance, again, anything fiction I can get my hands on and the occasional nonfiction too.

As for names, I like "Not Your First Rodeo" and have another suggestion related to that.

How about, "Back in the Saddle Again"?

I understand and can definitely commit to at least one book per week.

Hello everyone! I'm Himanshi, a 23-year-old MBA student from India. My favorite genres are PNR/Urban Fantasy, YA/NA, Sci-fi, Chicklit, and Historical Romance. Besides reading, I love watching movies, listening to music, shopping, traveling, and playing video games. Although this is my second time playing this game, the last time I played it was like a year or two ago, so I don't remember much about it so please bear with me. Oh, and I love the names "Around the Bend and Back Again" and "Lightning Rarely Strikes Twice".

Got it.

Confirmed!

Awesome! I believe that is everyone! It sounds like we have a good team!
I guess I didn't say, I can read leisurely like 4 books a week, but I can push it all the way up to 7 or 8 if need be 😊 It is my first time on this challenge in particular, but it seems pretty straight forward, and I've captained before, on other challenges where it's harder.

We have a bit before we have to decide on names, but it seems like the two contenders so far are
-Not Our First Rodeo
-Lightning Rarely Strikes Twice
with suggestions of
-Around the Bend and Back Again
-Back in the Saddle Again
-Dressed to the nines again

Thanks for the confirmations! 😊

I have two more suggestions!
>Reading to the nines again.
>Second of our nine lives

I also tried to include nine so we could distinguish our team.

Which name are we going to go with? I am okay with both Rodeo and Lightning one.

I still like lightening rarely strikes twice.

Seems like we're down to just 2. I won't vote, so that way it'll be an odd number. (Plus, I'd vote for Second of our Nine Lives anyways 😅)

Not Our First Rodeo - 3
Lightning Rarely Strikes twice - 2
(I went off of the last comments, let me know if anyone wants to change their vote)

Hey guys. I'm going camping tomorrow at 12 pm my time (Mountain time). If no one says anything before then, I'll go comment saying we chose Not Our First Rodeo.

I never thought about using a 9 in out group name to match our team number. That was a cute idea. I still like the name we went with. It's really cute. I never come up with team names. I'm just not good at stuff like that.

I'm excited for this challenge to start. I enjoyed it the first time I played along last round.

I'm excited as well! Less than 5 and a half hours, ish, until first call!

Review: Please do yourself a favor and stay away. It may masquerade as romance, but it is three very sad and depressing stories that have some seriously dubious HEAs.
