This has just been edited. Please check it out again before picking your books! Thanks :)
Jalyn, I'm going to read A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest for B-U-D-D-Y R-E-A-D-S challenge, there is a witch in it but it isn't the main theme of the story. Can I include it in this challenge (Rapunzel)?
Is he/she the bad guy or an important character in the book?
She is the bad witch and kind of has important role to the main character.

What I mean by 'You can't use any of the book genres/types more than once' is that you can't add more than one "book with a girl with long hair on the cover" but that doesn't actually mean that you can't read more than one "book with a girl with long hair on the cover", you would just have to add one in a different way. For example:
Let's say that you read
and added it to this thread as a "book with a girl with long hair on the cover"then let's say that you read
. You can't add that book as a "book witha girl with long hair on the cover" because you have already add that, but you CAN add it as "a fantasy book"Hope that helps :)

would the main character being adopted count as not being raised by her parents?
I think I'll see how many of my clean your shelf challenge will work for this.

Sure.
Just want to clear something up for myself...Each book we read only counts for one of the 20 traits listed? So to complete all 20, we have to read 20 different books?
Yes, but you don't have to read all 20 :) That's a lot of books to read in 2 weeks!You can use a book for this challenge that you are using for other parts of the MMC, but you can't use the same book twice in this challenge.
I edited the rules so hopefully it's a little more understandable :)
ohhh I see, I'll edit mine cause I used 1 book twice.
That reminds me of a question I had. Are we submitting the books on this thread, or will there be a separate one for that? (Sorry if it's already been stated somewhere already.)
Okay, that's what I thought but I wanted to make sure. Thank you Jalyn! :)
Nope, you just get an extra point for each book that you buddy read :)
Here's the easiest way to figure out what genre your book fits in: Go to the book's page here on goodreads. On the right side, under the advertisement is a list of genres. If the genre is on that page then I will count it For anyone who does the Group Stats Challenge every month (which ends today, btw), this is how I check genres too...and all of them count for the GSC!)
Feel free to make your lists everyone! :)

It'll be easier for me to see what you guys are reading the most (like Beauty and the Beast, etc) if it's all in one message and it shouldn't be too hard for me to keep up with since there are only 16 of you. But you don't have to make your list now. You can edit as you go :)
