Jessica wrote: "What does the "MPG" in MPG romance stand for?"

Main page genre :)

So when you look at the book's page on GR there are genres listed on the right hand side - eg Romance, Sport, Contemporary, Fiction, Humor etc. (I've used Kulti to pull some of these genres.)

For this challenge, the Romance genre (or a genre that includes the word Romance, eg Historical Romance) must appear on that list on the main page.

Hi Rachel - for this task, you don't need to read four books. Just one book where you can find the letters L O V E somewhere in the Title Name, Series Name or Narrator's Name (if you are reading an audiobook).

Eg Iron and Magic (The Iron Covenant #1, Kate Daniels #9.5) by Ilona Andrews:
L in Ilona, O in Iron, V in The Iron Covenant #1, and E in Andrews.

Hi Jane, I have a question - I noticed a task where you spell out a word in the Title, Series, Author's or Narrator's Name. Just wanting a clarification if this is really 'or', as in it has to be spelled out in the title OR in the series OR in the author's name OR in the narrator's name, not a combination of them? My initial thought was a combination, but then I reread and caught that it was 'or' not 'and' in the task. I'm a rule follower, what can I say. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

ETA: I just saw your explanation earlier and it seems a combination works. So relieved, I don't think I had a book that did it in just one!
