Hi Kat,

I asked this earlier but I don't think you saw it so asking again. :)

76. Read 6 books with a specific item on the cover.
Would weapon be good enough or more specific (either gun, sword, etc?) Also, would an item of clothing that a person is wearing work? i.e. shirt, dress, shoes, belt, etc.?

The item for this task needs to be specific. Weapon, jewelry or clothing would not work, but gun, sword, watch, dress shirt - things like that would be acceptable.

Sorry for missing it before and thanks for asking again! 😊

[D.G.]

Thanks Kat. No worries...I'm just planning ahead as there are many tasks that we still haven't decided. :)

A follow up to your answer...if we were to choose "men's ties"...would both of this work? Or would we have to choose one type or the other?

I think men's tie would be specific enough.

Hi Kat. For task:
70. Read a minimum of 1200 pages in books of the same sub-genre, but by different authors.

Does the sub-genre have to be embedded? For example if we do contemporary romance, does it have to be Romance>Contemporary Romance or can it be Contemporary Romance MPG on its own?

It can be contemporary romance on it's own.

Hi Kat,

Question about "Read 7 books set on a beach or in the mountains."
We're choosing Mountain.

I have a series set in Jackson Hole (which is in the mountains) but the cover or blurb doesn't show/mention mountains. Is the name of the town enough (with maybe a link that shows the town surrounded by mountains?) Or does it have to clearly show/say mountains?

If the setting shows as Jackson Hole or some other well known mountain city (Aspen, Whistler, Park City, etc.), that is enough.

Oh great!! Thanks, Kat!!

It can be different series for this task.

Kat, would this covers be ok for blue?

The first one yes. The second, no. But I had to go look at TinEye for that one - it was just over a third blue.
