Help! I'm not sure I've picked the right thing. For Option 3, I found a Nevil Shute book on p.3 of the first list, called Requiem for a Wren. It turns out the American edition of this book, which is what I have, was retitled The Breaking Wave. Is it OK to read it under that title, or do I need to find an edition with the listed title?
Suzanne, it is fine to read the retitled version.

I am addicted to reading challenges. I am always involved in several at the same time. Luckily, I can usually find books that will fit multiple challenges. While this one is definitely the most difficult to finish (due to volume), it requires so many different books that I can find somewhere to fit books needed for other challenges.
Read two books, from two different options.
Required: Indicate the options you chose.
Option 1- The Quest- My longest running challenge is an individual quest where reading books levels up my sword and wand and completes challenges. Doing this enables me to collect items, kill monsters, and gain experience. I have been playing this challenge since it started January 22, 2015 and have accumulated 2877 experience points.
Read a book FIRST published in 2015 with at least two of the numbers from 2877 in the page count. ex. 280, 377, 427.
Option 2- Pick for me- For this challenge, another player chooses a series for me to read, from ones that I have selected.
Using a series that you started before the Winter Challenge began (12/1/19), read a book in the series #2 or higher. The series information must appear on Goodreads after the title (series #2+).
Required: State that you have read previous book(s) in the series before the Winter Challenge began.
Option 3- Turf Wars - This is a team challenge that recently ended. Team challenges really encourage me to read outside my comfort zone. In this one, extra points were earned for reading books found on selected lists.
Read a book from one of these lists:
#1 Books About Melbourne and Victoria
#2 Great Chinese Historical Fiction
#3 Natural Disaster Fiction
Required:State the list and the page (for #1 &2)
