I'm going to try to catch up on the Dorothy Must Die series next month. Two of the books Witch Must Burn (Fire) and Wizard Returns (Air) both say 100 pages on Goodreads and 75 on Amazon. Does t..."

Hi Abbie, I'm so sorry but I have to withdraw from the game. I don't think I'll have much time to read next month, so please cross off my name, will you?

Thanks!

Do the reviews have to be written on goodreads? Could they be written on instagram or a blog and I could just leave the link?

We prefer them to be written on goodreads so we can see when they were started. If you Dont wabt to write a review though, you can just write 4 detailed updates. :)

Are we allowed to count a book towards the challenge if it has a cover that works, but only in another language? Also, does a necklace count as clothing? I was wondering for if it counted as orange clothing.

For Fire under "read books which features a character that burns something" do you mean like a building or would something like work

[Marie-Claude aka MC]

For the same caregory Lindsey just mentioned, would someone suffering from pyromania work even if they don't burn down anything in the book? They just 'play' with fire.

Any edition is fine to use, even if they're in a different languege. :)
Jewlerry wouldn't count as clothing, but in this edition - she's wearing a white dress and a green jumper, so it would count for air or earth.

It doesn't have to be a building. It can be a photo, a person, clothing, a car, ect.

That one is fine either way as one of the main characters has scars from being burnt. :)

Yes, that's fine. :) I'll actually add that one so not to confuse anyone.

Water - Read books with a large body of water on the cover
Or
Air - Read books with white clothing on the cover

:)

Any bonus points for completing sections? I.e. if you complete all requirements in the "earth" section?

Tati, I'll take it, please! Do you still have my email address?

Not on this one, as you don't need really need to conplete sections. If you want to read 10 books with blue covers and nothing else you can do. :)

Yep. :)

I have a couple questions...
•What if a book you read has the "old" cover before they published another copy with a different cover? (Does that make sense?)
•Is it all right for a cover to be completely black, with just the ending of a girls hair running for it to fit in wind swept hair (under air) (book pertaining to gone girl)
•Is it all right if we've started a book a previous month, and finished it in July? (You might've mentioned it up there and if so; sorry)
• last question... (Sorry I'm asking so many) does it still count as part of the challenge if we've read the book before but reread it in July?
Thank you!

You can use any cover that's on goodreads, so it should have your cover as well as loads of overs.

That's fine. :)

For the challenges with page counts, we usually allow people to use books they started before the month just for the pages, but as this one doesn't have a page count, they all need to be started in July to count.

Rereads are fine, but if you've wrote a review for it before there either has to be a new review, or have a bit added on to the old one.

Hope that helps. :)

Kathryn wrote: "Can we claim page points even if books don't fit any of the criteria?"

We're trying to go for a fairly relaxed month before the madness of the MMC, so this one hasn't got a page count on it.

Does anyone know any books that would be good for the digging equipment, controls water, air, fire, and water (other than the elemental series)?
