I think that if you just change it to "to read" it'll be fixed
For me the challenge starts at 5pm, I have to keep working though, so I decided to start an audiobook, hope it's good. How are you all?

Some of you have done some interesting trips, I haven't gone outside latinamerica yet, I was planning on going to Edmonton (Canadá) to visit a friend who's coursing a phd there) but the pandemic came.
The farthest I've gone from Chile was Costa Rica last year with my boyfriend, we rented a car and travelled through the pacific coast for 10 days, it was amazing, I absolutely recommend that destination.
Hello everyone!I'm Paula and with Cathy and Tina I'll be captaining this team, I hope we have a great time participating =)

All About Wheelaton V
About this Challenge
◈ The team will get an extra 15 completion points if all the letters in the word are part of their spell-it-out
◈ Once teams have read their word for the week they can "re-read" the word to gain more letter points, but no additional completion points.
◈ Only books STARTED after the challenge begins can count (after june 13)
◈ Books must be at least 160 pages in length. Children's books, Graphic Novels, Scripts/plays (movie and theater), Cookbooks and Poetry books cannot be used unless by word count they can be verified (by arbookfinder.com or arbookfinder.co.uk) as at least 40,000 words or have an audio edition that is at least 5 hours long
◈ Only books read during the specified round can be used (“read date” is what counts, not the day you start.) Books cannot be “banked” from previous rounds to use later in the challenge
◈ Rereads are permitted provided it has been at least 6 months since you last read/listened to the book
Point System
◈ Books less than 160 pages = 0 points
◈ Books between 160 and 1000 pages = 0.1 points/page
◈ Books over 1000 pages = 100 points
(points will be rounded up/down from 0.5 as per standard maths)
Tags
◈ Each colour segment on the wheel has been paired with a selection of genre tags.
◈ If you read and use a book with a matching genre, you will gain 5 bonus points per book, for a maximum of 10 books / 50 points.
◈ Genres must match exactly (though plural/singular is OK).
◈ There is no minimum number of tags required.
◈ Books must be used in the spell out to qualify for Tag points.
◈ for reasons the sheets show these points as "Top Shelf bonus" points
