I will accept it."

Yea! Thanks!

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

When I finish Badge One and start on Badge Two, can I use books already read during the year? Or for Badge Two I can only use books starting after the last book read for Badge One?

[Sandra, Moderator]

You can use books you read before you completed Badge One as long as you read them after you joined the challenge.
Many of us have been reporting in our own threads books for Badge Two, so we do not forget about them.

[Sunshine✰✰✰]

Great! Thank you.

I keep track of my challenges on spreadsheets, so I have already been keeping track of Badge Two, just didn't think to post in my thread. I should do that since I'm already half done. :-D

If you log them out of order on your thread, just do something like this;

******************OUT OF ORDER********************
Badge2, Book 1
Task:...

[Sandra, Moderator]

Yeah. That makes things easier for Janice.

By all means, do go ahead and report the books you've read.

Are there any Goodreads librarians in the group? If so, could you look into this message? There appears to be an error in the page length listed on Goodreads. Thanks!

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I've been looking into it, and there seems to be two page numbers linked to the same two ISBNs (both the 10 and the 13 digit ones). I've seen the 293 pages Jayme read (see https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Julie-Mar...), but a 160 page for the same ISBNs (see https://www.bookdepository.com/Rust-J...)

Other more experienced Librarians may know what to do with this kind of discrepancy?

[Janice, Moderator]

Thanks Rusalka. Could you post something in the Librarian's group to that effect?

[Rusalka, Moderator]

No worries, will do. Wasn't sure if there were any other librarians here, but I will get it sorted with the main group.

[Janice, Moderator]

Thanks

[Rusalka, Moderator]

All fixed

Hi Janice - I am currently reading The Tin Ticket: The Heroic Journey of Australia's Convict Women for my face-to-face book club and I think it will fit for Scorpio -NAZ - read a book set in Australia. My concern is that the first 100 pages explains the lives of 3 girls/women in Great Britain and the circumstances surrounding how they became convicts and were sent to Australia- so that part is set in Great Britain. The rest of the book (252 pages) is what happens to them once they reach Australia. Will that work, or should the entire book be set in Australia? Thanks for your help.

[Janice, Moderator]

It should be fine, Jayme.

Thanks, Janice!

HI Janice - is this cover 70% black? Thanks.

Yes.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Janice, does this cover count as significant water? Most of the cover is water, but it isn't a large body of water.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Although a body IN water

[Sandra, Moderator]

lol

[Kristie, Moderator]

lol true! I actually just realized I was going to use it for a different task anyway. "water" in the title, so I don't really need a ruling. :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

I am updating all my challenges with the books I've read over the past couple months and for the toppler, so now I need to remember what I read them for. lol

I will come back with another question though... For, Aries - Symbol: Ram - Read a book where a truck is on the cover or the protagonist drives a truck. I read a book with several main characters. One of them drove a truck. I wouldn't call her "the" main character, but she was certainly an important character to the story and one of 5 central characters. Would she count? A couple of scenes took place in her truck.

It sounds like the truck was a significant "character", so I'll accept it.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Thanks, Janice.

Yes."

Would The Last Town on Earth work for the Salmon category (Read a book that is set in the Pacific Northwest (coastal Oregon, Washington, British Columbia))? The exact setting is not written on the main page for the book. But the second paragraph of the description begins with "Deep in the mist-shrouded forests of the Pacific Northwest is a small mill town called Commonwealth, conceived as a haven for workers weary of exploitation."

[Janice, Moderator]

That sounds like it meets the criteria exactly. It sounds like it would work for the Taurus, Jasper task too because it's about the flu epidemic.

[Marie Claude]

I don't know if it has already been asked, but if it has, I'm sorry...

I would like to know whether, for the author categories. we can use a book written by the same author of the book on which the movie was based, but written under another pseudonym...

For example, Ralph Fiennes has played in the Harry Potter movies. J.K. Rowling has also written the Cormoran Strike series under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. So, can I use a book from that series for the Ralph Fiennes category?

Yes, you may read a book written by the author using a pen name. Make sure you explain the connection when you report the task as completed.

[Anna]

does this cover count as significant fire?

[Anna]

would this anthology Some of the Best From Tor.com, 2013 Edition count as stand-alone book in the Science Fiction?

[Janice, Moderator]

Yes to both questions, Anna.

[Anna]

thanks :D

[Beth]

Is Portland close enough to the coast to count for Pacific Northwest?

[Janice, Moderator]

Yes.

[Saar The Book owl]

I've read 2 books for this challenge, but I can't add them in the Zodiac Challenge.
I've added them in the GR - Challeng and that worked. What am I doing wrong?

[Peggy]

Saar, I think it will be fixed if you make a new shelf and name it something like Zodiac Challenge and add those books to the shelf (including date read). On the YLTO homepage at the top, there's a note about the challenge and I think there you can link to the new shelf you created. I'm not sure if that's exactly how it works as I have my shelf there but because it's there already, I can't see anymore how I did it.

[Saar The Book owl]

My shelf allready existed, but it doens't work. I did exactly like you told, but it won't work.

[Saar The Book owl]

It's fixed: I deleted my challenge and made a new shelf. The old one was set on 84 books and I made a new one for 12.
Maybe it was because I'm so far behind with my books.

[Peggy]

Lol, who knows!

Glad it works now :)

[Saar The Book owl]

The challenge tells me to read more :p

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm glad you got it sorted, Saar.

[Anna]

does this cover count as significant water?

[Lori Z]

Does this cover have enough of a truck on it to count for Aries/Symbol?
If not, anyone have any suggestions for that category?

[Peggy]

Don't know if it's enough truck Lori, but in case you need another book with a truck, Trouble in Mudbug is a free ebook today (for Kobo at least, haven't checked Kindle).

[Lori Z]

Thank you so much, Peggy! I've been picturing this cover in my head but couldn't remember the title. And yes, it's free on Kindle today, just picked it up! Thanks again!

[Sandra, Moderator]

I got it just in case. Thank you, Peggy.

Janice:

Can I report Badge 2 books that are part of the second round of 12, if I've not completed the first round of 12, to equal 24 total?

Thanks!
