We got 'Each teammate lists 5 favorite books. Select books from 2 teammates and read them.'

We each have previously given a list of 5 recs. can we use those lists or do we need to do another list?

If those books are favorites, only 5 books and for all teammates, then you can use them. Might be easiest to repost them in your current discussion though. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi Kat - for 'Each teammate lists 5 favorite books. Select books from 2 teammates and read them.'

When we select a book from a teammate's list, can we use the series rules if we are at a different point in the series?

Yes, that will be allowed. (Didn't think of that... 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Last question (I think), can we read one of our own recs?

Only if someone else recommended it. The books need to be selected off two of your teammate's favorites lists.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I have two teams left to update, but I have to get some lunch before I can think well enough to do that. I'll get them done as soon as I can.

Are these flowers white?


Thanks!

Thanks!"

The second and third are good, the first and fourth are really too pink. I tried, but zooming in just made them even more pink. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can the lotus flower on his shirt be considered a flower and white?

Also...white flowers in the lower left corner?

[Amanda A]

For the task to read a book on a teammate's to-read shelf, does the book have to be on the Goodreads default Want to Read shelf or can it be another shelf? For example, I have a ktbr shelf set up as an exclusive shelf for books to read on Kindle.

The first one doesn't work, but the second does. The flowers are white-ish, I can't distinguish another color.

As long as it is an exclusive to read shelf - not a wishlist, or a DNF/probably never shelf or read shelf, that would be fine.
