Not going to give a blanket yes - because Australia... 😉😂

But generally, yes that would work.

I would need a specific setting that is clearly not in the US, but it could be a fictional or fantasy location.

Question for the task: 33. Read 6 books in the same sub-genre, teams decide.

Does it need to be formatted like: Romance ---> Historical Romance (or Contemporary, or whatever we decide), or is a tag of Historical Romance itself good enough? I ask because the first example only shows up on the book's Main page, while the second example is how it would display on the Top Shelves.

It does not have to be formatted like your first example, a tag is enough.

Hey Kat! For
Task 15 - 54. Read 6 books set on a beach or in the mountains, teams decide which.

As a team decide if you are going to read books set in the mountains or on a beach, then read 6 books with the selected setting. Please include the selected setting in your completion posts. Remember to let me know how you know your books qualify, be it title, precis, tags or lists. I need to know where to look to confirm your books!

Can the series name be used as a qualifier? We chose mountains, and wondering about Katie Ruggle's Rocky Mountain K9 Unit series.

Thanks!

Thanks! A lot of newer releases don't have enough tags to get on the main page, but they are tagged, so I wanted to be sure!

Yes, that would work.

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Thanks! I figured it would be, but since it wasn't spelled out decided it was better to check than to assume! 😁

[Hazel]

Kat would you say that is a dog on the cover?

[Katelyn]

For the task 15. Read a minimum of 600 pages in books with an audio edition, does the audio edition need to be listed on Goodreads or can it be something we can find on our hoopla or overdrive? or an audiobook on amazon.

I would prefer a link to Amazon or audible if the audio edition is not listed on GR, but outside links would be ok. I know not all books are updated here.

Ques...

Hey Kat. If a precis state, "Newly elected President Jack Spiers’s presidency is rocked from the very beginning..," could that be considered as the winter season since presidents turnover in January?

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Hey Kat,

For Task 16 - 108. As a team, select a season and read a minimum of 1500 pages of books set in that season. We chose winter...would the list below work as a qualifier on its own, without precis, tags, etc. to back it up?

Wintertime Action and Romance

Yes to both Chan and Karen.

Thanks, Kat!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Just a double-check Kat - our books for this challenge don't need to tagged romance anywhere? They can be any genre? Can they be non-fiction?

Eg Holidays on Ice
