Thank you so much."
Hey Kristiana!
No, reviews are not requested for this challenge! What is required is:
- link and/or cover of the book cover next to the letter,
- the date the book was read,
- how many stars you award the book
- if needed, brief explanation of how the book fits the particular challenge point (example if the prompts requests you to read a book with "age gap" you can say: "there's a 15 years gap" or "the heroine is 18 and the hero is 27")

Hello Chiara, Help please. When I click on my name in the participants list 2 it brings me to someone else’s list. My name is Gina (easy).

There are 2 people named "Gina" among the participants (you and another Gina!). You are participant #111
If you click on that name, you'll see that the link is correct and it will redirect you to your challenge!
Please let me know if you need further help :)

Don't worry, no disturb at all :)
Happy reading!
Hi, I just read The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams. I was wondering if this could be classified as a New Adult? I didn't see it in the Top Shelves, but I did see adult romance and erotica.

sorry for the late reply, I didn't get the notification for your message.
I've read The Bromance Book Club and I would classify it as "adult". However, I've checked the top shelves on GR and it has been tagged "new adult" by 17 people, so you can definitely use it for the challenge!
Hi again, I'm entering 2 reading challenge in two group. May I use the same book that fit with both prompts in two different group? I'm asking the same question in the other group too 🙈
Thank you 😊
Hello!I was wondering whether polyamory is considered to be part of LGBTQ? I'm a little uncertain about that.
Is still a NA romance if just one of the characters is under 25?Plus, are books written in another language valid?

Hi Kristiana,
you definitely can use the same books in another challenge!
Lana wrote: "Hello!I was wondering whether polyamory is considered to be part of LGBTQ? I'm a little uncertain about that."
Hey Lana,
I think it depends on the polyamorous relationship. It can be considered LGBTQ+ if there is a romantic/sexual relationship between people of the same sex.
Instead, if for example the relationship is between one girl and two guys but the two guys don't have any kind of romantic involvement with each other then probably I would say it's not an LGBTQ+.

Hi Tweety!
For the age it depends..a NA book is not only related to the characters' age. If you want you can tell me the title of the book you're referring to and I can check it out for you.
For the language absolutely yes..even if the book is not in English it's valid for the challenge
Hey! The book is Chasing Cassandra by Lisa Kleypas. I have read it already but didn't add it in my 2020 challenge because I consider it non-NA, even if the main female protagonist is 21 if I recall. I had a doubt because it was in the non-contemporary March poll, this is why I asked if it counted

I have read it already but didn't add it in my 2020 challenge because I consider it non-NA, even if the main female protagonist is 21 if I recall..."I haven't read it yet (it's on my March TBR since it's our non-contemporary book of the month), but I believe it can be considered NA. It's true that the hero is older, but the heroine is in her early twenties and, according to the blurb, she's looking for a husband (so she's not already an adult married woman).
The book is not explicitly tagged "new adult" so maybe it's a bit of a stretch, but it's rare for historical romances to be tagged NA, even if the age of the characters or the theme of the book can be considered NA.
I have an issue with finding romance author with my initials A.D. and one that writes NA well it is impossible. What to do?
Antonella wrote: "I have an issue with finding romance author with my initials A.D. and one that writes NA well it is impossible. What to do?"Hey Antonella!
If you cannot find an author that has both your name and surname initials, you can use a book by an author who has either your name or your surname initials.
Hi again!Quick question about updating our challenge post.
Do we need to write an explanation of how the book fits the prompt for every prompt? Some are pretty self-explanatory, or just my opinion (i.e. enemies to lovers story, or a book I got for free, or a character I couldn't stand).
Also, I'm running out of characters for the post so im trying to keep it simple! Should I make a whole different post and split my prompts?

Hi Lana!
If the prompt is self explanatory you don't need to mention it! In case there's something that is not clear to me I will ask you questions about it at the end of the year. In case you run our of characters you can split your challenge in 2 separate comments.

Hi Marta!
Friends who live in the same apartment unfortunately don't fit the prompt "fraternity".
For this prompt, the character (or characters) needs to be part of a fraternity. It's not compulsory for them to live in a fraternity house. They can also live somewhere else, the important thing is that they're members of a fraternity.

Marta wrote: "Does fits as a NA book that is or will be a movie/tv show?"Hi Marta,

Anyway I've checked and yes, Normal People can totally be considered valid for that prompt!

Lana wrote: "I'm on my last prompt for the insane challenge! I need help finding a book set in the past! any ideas? <3"Hey Lana!
Here are some recommendation for the prompt "book set in the past":
(this one is tagged YA but the characters are 18 and about to go to college so technically it could be considered NA)
(this one is probably more adult than NA but it's tagged NA so it counts)I hope you'll find something you like :)

So excited for the new challenge!! Let 2021 begin!!Congrats to all of NABC members to create such a fun challenge ;)
If we pick a book and the gente says new adult and young adult or new adult and adult will it still count? Or does the gente have to only say new adult?
Where are the rules for this challenge? like the list of things I’m supposed to read? what thread I use? I cannot find anything, I just commented that I would do the challenge but that’s all I’ve seen. Help lol
