Is it ok to use both genres with the initials?I rolled 3 = Young Adult or New Adult
A Wizard of Earthsea has W and E in "New" and O in "Young". (A is in "Adult" which is in both genres).
Would this work, or do all the initial letters need to be in either "New Adult" or "Young Adult"?

You can use both genre titles. A Wizard of Earthsea will work for a roll of 3.

Kathy KSSorry, just realized I listed the above title at the wrong place for verification!

You can ask for MPG verification in either place (help thread or genre notification thread). So, no worries. Sandy's probably already done this, but I've noted the genre, too, so you're all set! ;-)
Please can you lock in Mystery genre for Lock Every Door which i believe works for having rolled a 5 = mystery thriller horror with author name

Noted. And, yes, it works. I just finished reading it and liked it. Creepy! (In a good way....) ;-)

One of the things I love about reading challenges, in general, and the SRC specifically, is how they push me to read outside my go-to genres.
This is a one book task. Roll one die (one time!). Find the number you rolled on the list below. Read a book that has one of the MPGs listed beside the number you rolled that ALSO:
a. is written by a single author whose first and last initials can be found in the genre titles listed for the number you rolled.
OR
b. has a 3+ word title where the initial letter of each word can be found in the genre titles for the number you rolled. All title words count. Subtitles should be ignored. An ampersand (&) counts as the letter A.
If you rolled a:
1. Your genres are: HISTORICAL FICTION or HISTORY
2. Your genres are: SCIENCE FICTION or FANTASY
3. Your genres are: YOUNG ADULT or NEW ADULT
4. Your genres are: NONFICTION or TRUE STORY
5. Your genres are: MYSTERY or THRILLER or HORROR
6. Your genres are: ROMANCE or WOMENS FICTION
Letters that make up the genre titles may be combined to find author initials or the initial title letters, but letters may be used only as many times as they are found in the genre titles.
For example:
Roll = 5. Genres are: MYSTERY or THRILLER or HORROR
I could read Red Dragon, which has the MPG Horror, and is written by Thomas Harris whose initials (TH) can be found in THRILLER.
OR
I could read The Lions of Lucerne, which has the MPG Thriller and the initial letter of each word (TLOL) can be found in THRILLER and HORROR.
Another example:
Roll = 2. Genres are: SCIENCE FICTION or FANTASY
I could read Girl Gone Viral by Arvin Ahmadi. MPG is Science Fiction. Author initials (AA) can be found in FANTASY.
OR
I could read The Candle and the Flame. MPG is Fantasy. Initial letters (TCATF). TC can be found in SCIENCE FICTION. ATF can be found in FANTASY.
Required: State the number you rolled when you post.
