Not Kat, but when it has a page count that is the total page count for the whole team and unless a teammate passes on the task isn't complete until everyone on team posted a book.

No, you are free to start. 😊

As Roger said above, it is a total for the team. 😊 So the 4 of you each need to read a book that meets the minimum for this challenge. Or if one of you uses their pass, then the books the others need need to total 600 pages using the first edition Kindle page count. (Or whatever the page total is for different tasks. 😉)

OK everyone! I will be away all day tomorrow and I'm about to shut down tonight. 🥳 I will assign tasks to those who finish overnight from my phone in the morning, but will not be checking completion posts. Karen will take over from there - thanks in advance Karen! ❤️

I should have assigned tasks to Teams 2,3, 6, 7 and 8 this morning. If there are any errors, please let me know.

Kat, does "futuristic" qualify for "future"?

Does science fiction always mean set in the future?

Yeah, this soooo isn't my cup of tea... *headdesk* 😭

Yes, from the task specifics posted under the task:

‘Historical’ or ‘Futuristic’ tags will qualify depending on the selected time frame.

Science fiction does not qualify on its own, I need something that indicates a time frame.

Sorry, having a senior moment, so if we chose future , we can use a futuristic tag without any further qualification (25 years +)

OMG... how did I miss that? Sorry! *headdesk*

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Yes, a futuristic tag is enough of a qualifier.

Hi Kat - for set in the future, will the tag 'futuro' work? It's spanish (I believe) for future...

And will a combo tag like 'futuristic-dystopian' work?

***edit***
Don't worry - I've found a book that works :)

Just a heads up everyone - I am dealing with some eye issues related to a medical condition. Basically watery eyes with blurry and double vision - fun times... Usually things are fine unless I am tired and I am beyond overtired today!

So, I am not even trying to check books right now and hope to get back on track tomorrow. That means checking the completions as well as getting the tracking current. 🤞🏼

But I will add a small caveat, we are going to dinner and a show at the theater my son works for tonight. So another late night for us, though not as late as last night and not an early start like yesterday either. I still might get a late start on new tasks, but it shouldn't be too late.

Kat, the book I just started after you posted the three word title task is an ARC so only ebook format. The Snake Catcher it has a page count of 296. Can I use it?
