Hi Kat, A question about task further ahead. :)
82. Each teammate reads a different book from the same series.
Just confirming that the series linked below work - they are all marked as series by GR but they are those kind of series where the books are really considered standalones and/or written by many different authors. (Specially the Cocky Club Hero series where there are like 100s of books!)

And a second question. For tasks where books need to be shelved/tagged...even if 1 person added it to the shelf, it works, correct? There's no minimum?

For this, I'm going to say if the series is numbered I will allow it. So the Penelope Ward series would work even though I've read them and they are not a series! The Misadventure series works as well, but the Cocky Hero series would not. The 1001 Dark Night series does not work on it's own either, but would work for the individual author's series if the books are included there.

There's no minimum?"Unless specified, one tag is sufficient. (I will qualify that I sometimes confirm that the reader or teammate isn't the one who tagged it and if they did it was before the task was assigned.)
Excellent, Kat. Thanks for answering both!! (I felt too that the Cocky "series" was iffy.) I wondered too why those P Ward books are considered a series...but works well for our purposes I guess. Finding a series that might work for 5 is hard!! No more questions for today! (I'll give you a break for at least a couple of days hahaha!)

Kat - Some questions about tasks!84. Pick a category from the current RRRC Monthly Challenge and read 6 books for that category.
Does this mean that we could only pick from the CURRENT month when the task is assigned to us? Or could we pick any from this year?
90. Each member reads a book published in sequential months, i.e. June, July, August and September 2019.
The months don't have to be in 2019, correct? So if we pick Dec 2015, Jan, Feb, Mar & April 2016, that should still work?

Yes, you use the current month when the task is assigned.

No, the months do not have to be in 2019 or in any one year. Your example would work.

Hi Kat - for the following task:97. Read 8 books by authors with more than 10 letters in their name.
if there are two authors, can their names be combined to make more than 10 letters or does one of the 2 authors need to have that longer name?
