Me too! One of the worst weeks at work in a long time.
I might finish another book but I am not 100% sure if I will be on time, I will keep you posted tomorrow.

Date 6 - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 6.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.
L is for Laconic - Read a book with a one word title.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to have one word titles as listed on GR. Articles and subtitles are included in the title word count for this task.
L is for Lately - Read a book published within the last 6 months
To qualify for this task, the book needs to have been initially published on or after 7.23.2020. For this task, use the initial publication date. If there is a date listed at the top of the editions page - use that one. Otherwise, I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition regardless of format.
**Please not that I changed this from 3 to 6 months, because I am nice like that. 😊**
L is for Limerick - Read a humorous book in a series with at least 5 books.
To qualify for this task, the book needs to be humorous AND in a series with at least 5 books as listed on GR. To meet the HUMOROUS aspect of the task, the precis, tags or lists needs to indicate that the book is humorous. Tags such as 'funny', 'humor', 'humorous' or 'lol' will work. To meet the SERIES requirement of the task, the selected book needs to be in a series listed on GR with at least 5 books included in the series. In between books will count in the series total for this task. Not all books in the series need to have been released, but an unpublished book needs to have a title and an expected release date available for the series to qualify.
L is for Linguistic - Read a book released in two or more languages
To qualify, the selected books need to have been released in two or more languages. Please include the languages, i.e. English and Italian, and a link to the second language book in your completion posts.

Probably take most of the day. I'll keep an eye on the announcement but I will likely be out of mobile range and unable to read anyway. 🙃
