that's ok! that's for clearing it up! ;)

[Raining]

Question, out of some of the books that I have been reading they seem to fall into the other categories within the other reading areas like for example from Industrial or Future Zone and such.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sorry, Ana, what was the question? Basically, you can use any of the categories that your book would fit into, but you can only use one description per book. It might also be worth looking at which description your team has already completed, and trying to complete descriptions where there are gaps to help your team win crystals ☺

[Ashleigh]

Would this count for skull on cover? There appears to be small skulls in the decorative pattern above the title.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Ashleigh, they do look like skulls, so that's fine ☺

[Ashleigh]

Thank you Sarah :)

[Krystal]

is classified as both YA and middle school. It has YA as the first tag. Would this be able to be used for a description?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, it's tagged Young Adult more times than it's tagged Middle-Grade, so we would count it as Young Adult ☺

[Shahana]

Snow Like Ashes
is this book tagged sci-fi?..i am nt sure hw to do it.

Yes it's tagged sci-fi by 39 people. :)

[Shahana]

thnks anna:)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Shan, it is tagged 'Sci-Fi', but it needs to be tagged 'Sci-Fi' within the top twenty tags, which it isn't unfortunately.

To look for the tags, go to the books page on Goodreads and look on the right side of the page where it says 'Genres'. If you look down the list under 'Genres', you should see a link which says 'See top shelves...'. If you click that it will bring up the full list of tags for that book ☺

[Shahana]

ohh sorry ..i did review..i ll change it tomorrow

[Amanda Setasha]

Hi Sarah, I briefly let my team know, but just filling you in. Something rather serious has come up with a close friend of mine and I might not be online for the rest of the month. I am trying to finish one last book before the end. I think I'm within the count for medium teams anyways. :)

[Krystal]

Awesome, thanks Sarah!

Okay, thank you for letting me know and I hope everything works out okay for your friend x

(And I think you have already read the minimum for medium so no worries ☺)

[Katie]

Hi Sarah-

I hope this is where I'm supposed to post this?? But I'm starting and it has a rating of 4.27 when I'm starting:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I have a screen shot, but I don't know how to upload that. I hope this is correct. Thanks!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Katie, thank you, I've made a note of it ☺
