♦Odds and Ends Challenges♦ > TCF's Fall Seasonal Challenge ♢Duration: 9/23/18 - 12/20/18♢
🍂 Re-reads are allowed, any genre is acceptable, and there are no page minimums
🍂 Once you’ve read a book, strike through or check it and date it Posts with no completion dates/checks/strike throughs or Blank Posts will be skipped for participation counts!
🍂 Update your original post and post a "Finished!" comment when complete. DO NOT copy your entire original post and repost it when finished! Posts that copy your entire original post will be deleted!!
🍂No reading until 9/23, but you can reserve your spot & put your lists together
🍂 This will be a six part challenge, pick your level then pick your books.
🍂 NO DUPLICATING BOOK OR TASK ENTRIES!! Books and Tasks are only to be used/listed/completed once! An example of this would be reading a book published in October 2014 for the "Read a book published in October (any year)" task, and then reading another book, this one published in October 2016, justifying it by saying that the books were published in two separate years. Once you complete the "Read a book published in October (any year)" task, it can't be completed a second time to complete the category.
🍂This is one large challenge, not six little ones! IF YOUR POST DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL SIX PARTS OF THE CHALLENGE IT WILL BE DELETED! NO EXCEPTIONS!!
🍂When completing the spell out section, you can use the Author's First OR Last Name, the Book Title, or the book's Series Title. And, The, A, and An can NOT be used when spelling out your words!

TCF'S Fall Seasonal Challenge
♢Duration: 9/23/18 - 12/20/18♢
🍂 Re-reads are allowed, any genre is acceptable, and there are no page minimums
🍂 Once you’ve read a book, strike through or check it and date it Posts with no completion dates/checks/strike throughs or Blank Posts will be skipped for participation counts!
🍂 Update your original post and post a "Finished!" comment when complete. DO NOT copy your entire original post and repost it when finished! Posts that copy your entire original post will be deleted!!
🍂No reading until 9/23, but you can reserve your spot & put your lists together
🍂 This will be a six part challenge, pick your level then pick your books.
🍂 NO DUPLICATING BOOK OR TASK ENTRIES!! Books and Tasks are only to be used/listed/completed once! An example of this would be reading a book published in October 2014 for the "Read a book published in October (any year)" task, and then reading another book, this one published in October 2016, justifying it by saying that the books were published in two separate years. Once you complete the "Read a book published in October (any year)" task, it can't be completed a second time to complete the category.
🍂This is one large challenge, not six little ones! IF YOUR POST DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL SIX PARTS OF THE CHALLENGE IT WILL BE DELETED! NO EXCEPTIONS!!
🍂When completing the spell out section, you can use the Author's First OR Last Name, the Book Title, or the book's Series Title. And, The, A, and An can NOT be used when spelling out your words!
