No, books have to be started after the task is assigned. Sorry.

Hi all! I know notifications are not working effectively right now, but I rarely rely on them for this challenge anyway. I have several tabs open for this challenge all the time and reload regularly. At a minimum, I check in the morning and the evening (my time), but usually more frequently.

I can't seem to find the acceptability of books that are audio only. This book, Pause, is currently only published as audio with the kindle listed as coming in July but doesn't have the page count listed. It is over 6 hours on audio. Is this acceptable?

Hmmm, I was thinking that was addressed for this challenge... But come to discover it was in the Bachelor challenge!

So here is how we will handle audio only books for this challenge:

If the audio only book is at least 6 hours long - it will count as a book towards a book total or as 150 pages towards the page total depending on what the task requires.

No, but it needs to be clearly shown in either the photo or drawing.

ETA: It didn't even load a cover or book initially, but I see this is a specific question now. I can't check it right now, cover hasn't loaded and link not working just yet. See comment below for explanation of my internet issues right now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi all, my internet is cutting in and out so I can't check the team completions for a little bit. We've spoken with the ISP and they are working on it, thus the in and out right now. It was down completely across their system earlier, so it is heading in the right direction. 🤞🏼

Team 16

Task 8 - 55. Read 6 5 books set in the same country outside the US, teams decide country.


1. Do we read 6 or 5 books?

2. If we choose UK, does the proof need to reference UK specifically? Could we use historical romance set in 1800's England, and use the tag "England" as proof?

Thanks for your help

Yes, that cover will work.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Internet appears to be good - checking the teams now. 😊

To answer question 1 - 5. There should be a strike through, probably operator error. I will correct.

For question 2 - You can use the UK and the qualification can be England or any of the others.

[LaurLa]

MKat - can you approve this book being set in England? It has one lowly tag for England - I can tell from text that it's set there and the author is English but nothing in the blurb or setting explicitly says England.

Yes, that will work. Include the tag in your completion post.

I believe I am current, please let me know if I missed anything! Comments have been coming in while my pages were slowly loading earlier, but I've gone back over all the comments. I hope so at least!

Checking completions now! One of the perks of being fully vaccinated - got to babysit my grandson today. 😊 Before they move across the country in a couple of months. 😢 Just got home a little bit ago, so jumping on it now.
