Apoorv  Moghe (goodreadscomapoorv) | 9 comments This is a very chic task Ruchi, but I have a small doubt, if you could clarify it.

Can we use the same book for multiple categories, if the title fits the clause ?

also

Do we have to stick to the actual name of the places or are slight modifications in them allowed ? (eg. Belgian instead of Belgium, American in place of America etc.)

Yes, you can use the same book for not more than 2 categories. And slight modifications are allowed.

Denise (iamdenisemarie) | 4 comments I should have previewed my last comment. Obviously, I meant to say, "I DON'T see where to do that."

RachelvlehcaR (charminggirl) Hi, Denise. Just copy and paste the challenge like the post above you (that Poongothai did on Message 9) then add the books you read in the category.

This is a challenge we just account for ourselves and don't need to officially sign up.

Have fun and hope that helps. :)

Denise (iamdenisemarie) | 4 comments Title Challenge

I started this challenge a couple weeks ago and I've read one book so far:

Body parts
(eyes) Their Eyes were Watching God
by Zora Neale Hurston

I'm currently reading Water for Elephants as one of my books for the "Animal" category.
