A few notes :
I. You cannot claim regular style points for any book you read for Dominoes (nor do the Dominoes tasks count as combo style points for Reading with Style's 10 and 20 point tasks).
II. You can complete Dominoes two times with one important caveat: all authors used for your chains must be unique (no doubling up on authors).
III. Just to make selecting books for this sub-challenge more challenging, cookbooks, illustrated guides, and YA books with a Lexile score less than 800 are not allowed.
