QUESTIONS?: UNO Team Challenge

[Alison]

In terms of page numbers does it have to be more than 100 pages or would a book with exactly 100 pages be OK?

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Rules say "more than 100 pages" so you'd need a book of 101 pages

[Alison]

Thanks I thought that would be the case.

I saw that for anthologies, we use the editors name for the "author" slot, but if a book is co-authored, for example by Abigail Roux Madeleine Urban can I use both author's names to fill my slots?

For co-authored books you are able to use both authors.

Will we have another one this year?

[Alison]

This is a very book specific question but would you say Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is number 8 in the series or a standalone?

GR doesn't connect it to the rest of the series but the blurb describes as the 8th story.

I'm going to say no to this one. The blurb has it listed as book 8, but GR does not consider this to be a primary Harry Potter book.

[Alison]

No worries I figured with different authors and format it'd be standalone (unless there's a part 3 coming) but the blurb confused me so I didn't know where to put it.

Does a book finished in April count for April if it was started in February?

The book can only be used in the month it was finished - so yes :)

[Jennifer]

Thank you!

For some reason, I can't find this anywhere. Is it okay to read short story books as long as they are 100 pages or more?

Yes, as long as they are over 25 000 words.

Re: Colored Cards
Can the book be any cover...does it have to be the cover for the version you are reading?

It needs to be the edition you are reading.

Thanks for getting back so quickly!

If a book has a colon in the title can you use the portion after the colon for the task "Read a book where all the letters in Haux can be found in the title"...example Took: A Ghost Story. Can we use the whole title as it appears or just "Took"?

[Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady]

So in the April mini challenge there is a prompt
Read a book with an important character is younger than 15

Would a dog work? He is the MC of the book.

[Perks Moderator, Know-it-all]

The title is considered to start with "took"

The dog can work for a different goal where the character is an animal
