Thanks! I think I understand it now :)

For November I'll be reading one of the BOTM's: Fahrenheit 451

I'll try it, but I don't fully understand it.

Misericordia is right. This is what's in the description:◈ Books count that are started after your team thread is created. Provided the book is started during your challenge period, it can be used at any point during your challenge for a task or detour.

I've read Blue Lily, Lily Blue about a group of friends a few weeks ago.

Normally I have a couple of books that I'll finish at the end of the week. Some for scavenger and others for spell - it -out.

I've got my book. I'm starting this week:

Don't know yet. I'll finish my other book first and then gopher for some options.

So, the detour is: read a book about a group of friends?

First choice or third choice is fine for me.

No problem. I've asked in the thread, so we'll see.

I don't know if the question has already been asked, but can we also use illustrators for the spell - it - out?

I'm going to ask it in the Q&A - thread, but if we can use translators, I think maybe illustrators can too?

I've finished my book. It was a short book, so it went quick:

I have some time left between other books, work,...so, I can finish a book on Friday, if that's okay.
