Couple of questions:What are the Read a book that works for one of the current RRRC Monthly Challenge categories for Letter C?
Can the book be a collection of short stories that meet the requirements in different stories for example: Story one 1 has one component, Story 2 has another but they are in the book

Mamacita wants a Bedtime Story wrote: "Would couples to root for be an acceptable tag for the Always & Couples tag?"That works for 'Always'.
Nicole wrote: "Hey MountainKat, Was there a list of acceptable tags for Always posted somewhere? I tried looking but couldn't find it. I've been trying to stick to the ones mentioned in the actual task but see ..."
The alternatives you are seeing should contain the ones listed in the task. But let me make see if there are any others.
A is for Always - Read a book with married MCs. Qualification from the:
title (marriage, married, mate, spouse/husband/wife - also wedding, bride and groom)
précis (marriage, married, mate, spouse/husband/wife - also wedding, bride, groom)
tags (eloped, marriage, married, mate, spouse/husband/wife, couple)
or list (marriage, married or mated).
As long as those key words are included, I've allowed it - so 'favorite couples', 'fated to be mated' have been allowed. (Even though that really stretches 'married'.)

If 'C is for Challenge' is selected, you would need to read a book that fits one of the tasks, excluding Reader's Choice, for the RRRC July Monthly Challenge found HERE. You will need to show how the book fits for that challenge to qualify here.
Victorian Vickie wrote: "Can the book be a collection of short stories that meet the requirements in different stories for example: Story one 1 has one component, Story 2 has another but they are in the book."
You can read anthologies, but you must read the entire anthology - not just the part that fits. And the anthology, not the individual novellas would need to qualify - so the précis or tags would need to fit when looking at the collection. Feel free to ask about a specific book if this comes up and you aren't sure.
