Thank you for the Spring book mentions. Three of those books are on my list but slated to fill a different category Maybe I can switch some around. hmmmmm

You're welcome, Lauri. I am always happy to help brainstorm books, if that's needed and if I know of any in a particular category.

Ok, now I am cracking up. When I saw "wild animal" I thought more along the lines of lions and tigers and bears OH MY!

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Those totally count too, for sure, but the more commonly seen wild animals are acceptable as well. When I wrote that task, I thought the large-cat and bears sorts too, but then I realized there are so many wild animals out there in the world that surely this could be a broad enough task to find something to work for everyone.

I started reading a book thinking it would check off one category when suddenly, to my surprise and elephant was part of the story. Checking off "wild animal" instead thanks to

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Great find!

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

Andrea . . . I have a bit of a conundrum here. I shelved the 'e-book' edition of 'Christmas at the Circus' back in December, when I meant to shelve the kindle edition. Because I've already read the kindle edition, there's no way to easily switch editions so that the correct edition is on my TBR crusher shelf. Will I be penalised for putting the correct edition on my shelf?

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Not at all, Kate. If you already had a format of the book on there, there is not a problem to read a different format of the same book even if that format is not on your shelf. So if you had added the Kindle copy of Christmas at the Circus but then decided to read the paperback or audiobook copy, that still counts.

Yes, that works.

[Lauri]

I was making great progress on completing this challenge only to find out the book I had thought had 500+ pages fell a few pages short. I have nothing I listed for the challenge that fill in that category.
(I am way behind on posting my books here)

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Go ahead and choose an off-list book for that category. It’s a tough one.

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

I finished tier 1 just now . . . so much fun . . . and SUCH a challenge in places!
