Not a question but just in case people are getting confused when it comes to how this challenge works:

Each team, or solo participant, gets a board. Each board has two rounds. Both rounds, which are about 25 tasks each, need to be completed before getting a new bingo board.

Round 1: you will be reading one task per category.

Round 2: you will be reading for the open tasks that you didn't read for previous round.

You can't post books for round 2 until round 1 has been completed. If you do the book will go straight to being on hold until your team has finished the round that they are on.

If there are any questions or concerns about this, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Esther | 1829 comments For MPG Holiday, would a lot of snow count? Because during the whole book, it is snowing.

MPG Holiday means main page genre. For example, Red Hot Christmas (The Pride, #5) by Jill Sanders has the following MPG's:
Romance
Holiday
Holiday -> Christmas
Romance -> Contemporary Romance
Contemporary

Ritika Chhabra (justagirlhighonbooks) | 736 comments Spies, Lies & Red Tape A Spy-Military-Political Fiction Thriller based on the Indian Subcontinent by Amit Bagaria
This book has a lot of words after a ":". Can it still be considered for Outdoor Activities' Corn Maze - Letters C,O,R,N, in the title even though C,O and N occur after the ":"?

Ritika Chhabra (justagirlhighonbooks) | 736 comments What do you define as a cover with a "fall scene"? Should it be a cover with falling leaves or will anything else work too?

Lol anything really works. Like fall covers or leaves on the ground. Not super picky about it.

Ritika Chhabra (justagirlhighonbooks) | 736 comments Fall is autumn right? The months of September and October? So say, if I read a book that has a festival celebrated in these months on its cover then that can work too, right?

Jennifer | 3006 comments Just confirming:

Board 3 "Holidays" - when you say NEW in title and DEAD in title, you don't just mean the letters in any order, right? You want the actual words.

The book would work for a category but SWEET only has one S and the Author's initials are SS

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments Damn. I thought it just had to be the letters not the number of letters if that makes sense. :(

Hmm, I know it can happen due to an illness. Let me check with the girls to see if they will accept that.

Would this work for adoption even though it’s not an official thing and more of a ‘’we’re taking this shifter baby that he mother doesn’t want and raising it ourselves’’ ?? (I think you just recently read this too so I’m thinking it’s all a matter of perspective lol)

Since I can only see the ears of the horse, no I wont count it. I need to see the actual horse.
