Any single book of 750+ pages will work for the one-book option as long as it fits somewhere among the 6 options. So even if Epic Fantasy went away, you'd still be covered with Option 5."

I totally glazed over the part where it says one huge book that fits ONE option. Thanks Lindsay! :)

Can I have Dust of Dreams (816 pages) approved for the 1 book option, Lindsay? I don't think Epic Fantasy will slip off the main page, but I wanted to be covered, just in case. It also works for Option 5 - the common word is Dreams with Lunatica's Fables and Dreams.

Thank you! And, LOL!

Will you take this for sail on cover? The thing on her hair.



For anyone looking for a new book for Option 1, Cinnamon and Gunpowder: A Novel is a fun pirate and food book set on a sail boat.

Can I have The Middlesteins approved in case Family drops off the main page? Thanks!

Yes, Deanna! Both will work and I've put them as approved on Post 2!

Thanks Kathy! Per general SRC rules an ARC can be used as long as it meets page count/genre etc. and it's mentioned while posting that it is an ARC. :)

Will this book work for something blue?

Fiona, yes to both!

Thanks Deanna!

May I have Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker approved? Just in case Civil War slips off by the time I get around to reading it...

Deanna, may I have this approved for #2 - Cast?

Mister Max: The Book of Lost Things by Cynthia Voight (Cynthia Rhodes is one of the cast). It has the genre Childrens on its main page, but it does have 384p. But I wanted to have it approved just in case. :)

Can A be an ARC?

Yay! Thanks Sandy! :)

Yes! You do need two ands (at least) though. I figured excluding and/with/to etc. would be too long a list and I'd be bound to forget some anyway, lol.

@Dee, thanks for that tip! :)

Thank you Sandy! And just to confirm, I can only claim 2 BB tickets, right? Since I won't be reading the full 1000 pages?

Will this work for Option A? I know it's iffy, but I wanted to check before I begin searching for other books. :)

I have a question too and I didn't see it in the rules either. I've started a big book (1022 pages, hardcover copy). I only finished 60 pages of it so far and I have a couple of other books to read before tomorrow, so I won't get any further with this book. I wanted to know if I can claim big book tickets with this since I'll be reading 900+ pages within the summer challenge time frame.

LOL! Congrats to everyone who's finished! And go everyone who's right at the edge! Let's see if we can hit 150!! :D

Thank you! :)
