Date 4 - H - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 4.Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.
Don't make more work for yourself than necessary - if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don't have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the page count and edition - say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!
You may use separate editions of your Scavenger Hunt books to qualify for the different tasks. Links MUST be provided.
H is for Habanero - Read a book tagged as 'hot' or 'steamy'.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be tagged as 'hot' or 'steamy', alone or combined. The qualification for this task comes from tags/shelves ONLY. The tag does not have to be MPG, but the book must be tagged at least once to qualify. Please include a link to the top shelves page of your book's qualifying tag (not to the people who have used that tag or to the shelf for the tag!), the number of tags and the top shelves page number in your completion post. This information helps if the link is broken or if the tag moves as they frequently do.
H is for Hate - Read an enemies-to-lovers romance.
To qualify, the title, series title, precis, tags or lists need to indicate that the selected book is an enemies to lovers romance.
H is for Hefty - Read a book over 300 pages, first edition Kindle page count.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be 300 pages or over, first edition Kindle page count.
H is for Homonym - Read a book with a homonym in the title.
To qualify for this task, the title needs to contain a homonym. This is the definition of homonym that will be used for this task:
In linguistics, homonyms, broadly defined, are words which are homographs (words that share the same spelling, regardless of pronunciation) or homophones (words that share the same pronunciation, regardless of spelling), or both. For example, according to this definition, the words row (propel with oars), row (argument) and row (a linear arrangement) are homonyms, as are the words see (vision) and sea (body of water).
Words that basically mean the same thing, but can be a noun and verb will not count. For example, captain (noun - the person in command of a ship/plane) and captain (verb - to be the captain of a ship/plane) will not be allowed. To count, the definitions need to be distinct. You will need to identify the homonym in the title of your selected book and include the different definitions of the homonym. Please don't just assume I will be able to figure it out!

I've hardly made any progress, I doubt I'd finish it by the end of the date :(
Oooh, so many SH opportunities for date H. Need to make up for the lack of SH for date C lol!
Jane, you've asked very interesting questions on the QA thread :) I love how much thought you have put into it!

I have to admit that the SH part is my least favorite part, it stresses me out.

LOL - don't worry about them. If they fit, they fit. More important to enjoy the books!

Are we taking a shot at the speed dating rose tonight?
Just trying to find shorter stories for the non-Hefty options :) Can't promise I can finish super-quickly though!
Good idea! I'll do that too. I can't remember what the re-read rules are for this challenge. Am I allowed to re-read books read for other dates?
Aiswrya wrote: "Good idea! I'll do that too. I can't remember what the re-read rules are for this challenge. Am I allowed to re-read books read for other dates?"You can't reread a book already read for this challenge...
Aiswrya wrote: "Oh, the audio was so good! Callie Dalton was amazing. Cynthia, did you listen to the audiobook?"
I didn't! I read the kindle version. I don't listen to audiobooks because English is not my first language and I always think that I am going to miss important things...I would like to try one day though!
Aiswrya wrote: "Are we taking a shot at the speed dating rose tonight?"
It will be midnight here when the task is announced so I am not too sure if I can read a full book without falling asleep...I can try though!
If we do not get H is for Hefty I will start with a short story, that I can hope to finish before I fall asleep 💤
Date 4 - HH is for Habanero - Read a book tagged as 'hot' or 'steamy'.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be tagged as 'hot' or 'steamy', alone or combined. Variations of those words will be allowed in context, i.e. 'no steam' will not work. The qualification for this task comes from tags/shelves ONLY . The tag does not have to be MPG, but the book must be tagged at least once to qualify. Please include a link to the top shelves page of your book's qualifying tag (not to the people who have used that tag or to the shelf for the tag!), the number of tags and the top shelves page number in your completion post.

Remember books must be 90 pages (first edition English language Kindle) and MPG Romance!!
You have until Friday, January 15 @ Midnight US EDT to post your completion(s).

It's actually the other way around for me. I can't listen to audiobooks in Swedish anymore. I find them utterly ridiculous. English however, is no problem. But then again, I'm speaking English with my husband, so English is a bigger part than Swedish in my life now in pandemic times. (Disclaimer: My husband speaks almost fluent Swedish but we started out speaking english and it felt weird changing languages after a while, it's extremely important to him that I point this out lol.)

Lol cute 😂 that was me and an ex! We had several languages in common but English is all we ever spoke to each other haha
