How local are we talking for "-Read a local (to you) author" could I use Stephen King? He is Bangor Maine which is still new england, if I am MA or does it have to be within your state? or Keri Maniscalo, was NY City area.

Hello Rachael! The team quarterly doesn't have that kind of requirement, but maybe the solo quarterly does? Here is the link to that Q & A: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Is banking of books allowed in this challenge, if the book we read doesn't fit any of the words in the lines we are currently working on?
Mod
Yes, you are more than welcome to create a banked book tab for later words if it doesn’t fit any of your current ones.
Kind of an odd and specific question but if a book fits more than one series (a miniseries inside a series type thing) can I use both of the series names to cover words for the book? Ex. Beast of Rosemead: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast is the 4th overall in the Fairytales of Folkshore series but the first in its series inside that larger series, Rosemead. So can I use letters from both series or only one?
You can use whatever it says on the GR page. So for the book you linked. This is what you can use letters from:Beast of Rosemead: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast
(Rosemead Duology #1)
Minus the word duology. Plus the authors name.
I know you said we can use series titles for this challenge now, so that means we can use them along with the author and book titles?For example: if I were trying to complete the word WET, and I was reading Always and Forever, Lara Jean, would I be able to use the W and E from the title and then use the T from the series title; To All The Boys I've Loved Before?
Mod
For example: if I were trying to complete the word WET, and I w..."
Yes, that is correct.

It does look like it has an MPG of Graphic Novel. So it will count for 1/4 the page count.
224 x .25 = 56 pages
So I know if a books first or most rated edition has no page count, we use the next rated edition, but if the next one is published under a different title (not language, just title) do we use that? Also what do we use if the first one that comes up on the book's GR page is different than the first one that comes up when you search the book in search or comments?
Mod
Yes, you can use the second book if the first one doesn't show a page count.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...So, using the book up above as an example, when you click the link it shows no page count. Then you go to 'other editions' and the book on top has the page count of 416 - you would use that page number.
Wrong place. Sorry.
If the most rated is an audiobook we can use the page count for the next most rated right?Also are subtitles allowed in this?
Mod
Also are subtitles allowed in this?"
Sorry! Just saw this, yes you can use the next book and subtitles are allowed since it is in the book title.
Odd question... I just joined this challenge today, but it goes back to July 1. Can I only use books I've read and reviewed from today on, or can I use books I've already read and/or reviewed back to the challenge start date?
Mod
You can use any book that you started and finished on or after July 1st.
