Yes, the book still counts if you started it in May!

I am not a mod but YUP! I asked the same question

[Hershey]

I was wondering... does Wuthering Heights count as a historical romance?

[stu , Stupendous stuti {on hiatus}]

I think so...

QUICK NOTE-

To anyone who’s confused about the miscellaneous prompt 5. Read a book with a buddy (or buddies)

This as a team would mean reading any book together.

This as an individual would mean reading a book with one another person, or more than 1 person.

[Niharika✩, Nerdy Niharika {on hiatus}]

I had a question. I don't have a 1000 page book for the tenth Miscellaneous prompt. Can I read two books that add up to 1000? They obviously won't be used for other prompts.

Niharika✩ wrote: "I had a question. I don't have a 1000 page book for the tenth Miscellaneous prompt. Can I read two books that add up to 1000? They obviously won't be used for other prompts."

No, it had to be 1000 pages. You can read something from the public domain. For eg The Count of Monte Cristo.

[nefeli]

I have a question:
If my team reads a book for the romance prompt, for example, will I be able to count a different romance book that I read individually for the team or does it have to be from a different propmt? (I'm sorry if this was already asked again)
