"I looked up the cover on amazon and there you are able to see the hat, so go for it :)

Does this mean that the very first listing should be humor or can it just be listed on the genre page maybe 6-7 listings down?"No, it doesn't need to be the first genre listed, it needs to be on the main page - the one visible with the book, blurb, reviews etc.

Hug?"
I would say they have linked their arms together, not hugging, sorry.

I have a book where the MC is hand writing letters for an assignment. Does it count if the letters are not mailed? "
It still counts, the MC is still writing the letters.
Jessica wrote: "For Adopt A Greyhound Month, does the book need to be centered around the dog? Or does a dog just need be mentioned (the main character has a dog that he mentions several times)."Somewhere in between. The dog don't need to be the main focus of the book. But it needs to be a part of the story. For example a scene where the MC is playing with the dog/walking the dog or interacts with it in another way.
Hope that makes sense.

Someone has to be first :)
In this case they need to be physical letters, I will accept postcards though as they still gets sent in the mail.

~BINGO Mini Challenge~April is a month for celebrations. We all know of April Fools, but there are so many more celebrations in April. Have you ever heard of the International Snailpapers Day, Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day or the International Marconi Day? No? Well, those are only a few of those you might have missed. So join in and let's celebrate April!
This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players.
◈ Books started after April 13 and read between April 13 - April 30 count.
◈ Books started before April 13th do not count
(start of challenge times under spoiler)
(view spoiler)
◈ As a team, get "BINGO" by reading books for five squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to create a line (there are 12 possible lines)
◈ Only one book per square (so one book may be used for more than one "line")
◈ For each line completed, your team receives a "BINGO Bonus" of being able to chose one card in any April hand that you can claim double points for
◈ Books used for BINGO do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands
◈ The usual book length rules apply,
◈ Team spreadsheets have been updated with a BINGO tab so that you can track your books and claim your bingo lines
Yes, you will get a PM with information about which team you will be assigned to etc. Though it might be a while yet. Karen who's in charge of the teams is sleeping for the moment, but will look into it as soon as she can.

Haha, you can always try ;)
Alison wrote: "Hi. I'm reading a book that's exactly 100 pages (I didn't realise when I started). Can I still use it or would it need to be 101 pages?"Books need to be more than 100 pages and 25 000 words. So you'd need 101 pages for it to count.
AvidReader1987 wrote: "if the word is orange, does it have to be the fruit or can it be the color?"You just need the word, not the meaning, so the color is fine :)
Kristie wrote: "UNO Pixie - Am I reading that right? You can double any card you choose? So, if your book fits in your challenge, you can still double a different card?"Correct :)
Andrea wrote: "You mentioned that the books used for this challenge don't need to be separate from the ones used for UNO cards - but can they be separate? What I'm asking is, for those of us almost finished the c..."Yes you can use books not used for the regular uno cards. You will choose which card to double for points (though each uno card can only be doubled once) - it doesn't need to be for the books read for this mini-challenge.
Welcome to the challenge Snowtulip! :)
