For Joker Venom, does it have to be a deliberate poisoning, or can it be, for example, something that someone eats that just they didn't know was poisonous?

The Beautiful and Damned/Joker/Arkham Asylum/1 of 3
I was worried about fitting this book in- but I don't think there is one character in this novel that isn't a sociopath (or flat out psychopath by the end in the case of the main character).

Das Mädchen, das Geschichten fängt/Groot/Alien Tree/1 of 3German cover of The Archived has a tree on it :)
So you have to start the book in 2015 to have it count right? It's just that I started one on December 31st and wasn't sure if I could use it.
For Green Arrow's Star City challenge does it have to be a celebrity exactly? Would infamous pirate work?

Read a book with a clown on the cover or which is considered as a comdey.-- Bad Monkey Joker Defeated
Question: For 3. Joker Venom (Read a book with fog/mist on cover or where a character gets poisoned)... Does the character have to be a named character? I got a ton of people in my current read being poisoned (or poisoning themselves)... but none of them are named... Just curious...If not, I can use it for another category - I am rereading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan so I can finally real the last book :) Thanks! This is so fun!
Mod
Read a book with a sheriff/cowboy the cover or where a sheriff/cowboy is one of the main characters.
Does it need be a she..."
A Deputy works as well. :)
Mod
Let's just see how all works out. I don't really want to tell people which team to sign up for, when they have zero relation to most of the characters or just like the other challenges better.
Mod
No, if you have something were a character gets poisoned unintenionally that's fine as well. :)
Mod
Yep, as Rinn says the book needs to be started in 2015.
Mod
To keep it simple, I'd say it should be a named character.
Technical I would be fine when f.e. a village gets poisoned as an event in the book, but something like "There was once a poisoning in this village 200 years ago" would be too vague for me. And as the common sense border might be a bit vague here itself, I'd go for having a named character being poisoned, cause that is easier to interpret.

And Then There Were None/The Joker/Joker Venom/ 2 of 3
Several of the characters invited to soldier island by U.N. Owen are knocked off by poison.

Team Marvel/Knife of Dreams (Newer Kindle issue cover)/The Joker/Joker Venom/2 of 3 (there is mist on the cover AND an entire nation of people poison each other/themselves (sad ala Jim Jones) - also several named characters are poisoned - just not to death... :)
Mod
Speed Queen Nara took the achievements for the first villain defeated and for The Joker correspondingly.
A few interesting observations are that we gained a lot more fast readers of many books and that tactics change. We're 10 days in and already have 7 villain defeats, but zero recruitments so the learning curve from last year definitely seems to be to prioritize the challenges for the villains.
Mod
In the book a running race between a human and a giant takes place.

Discworld novel with "humor" being it's third most popular genre tag.
