Unless required by the task, books do not have to be romance. Books do need to be fiction though.

I believe so, but can’t check right now.

Thanks! Glad I checked as that one has MPG non-fiction!

47. Read 6 books set in a major city.

How do you define Major City? Is there a list or specific criteria a city must have? I'm thinking of Minneapolis, MN. Its got over 400k residents (not including the suburbs and neighboring St. Paul). A large university (U of MN), Sports teams (Twins, Vikings, Wolves, Wild and Lynx). To me this is a major city....

Hi Kat,

For Task 17 - 76. Read 6 books with a specific item on the cover, team selects item.

Would a specific human body part qualify (hand, eye, etc.) or does it need to be an inanimate object?

Thanks!

I believe I've allowed body parts before - six pack abs pops to mind... So I would allow a specific body part.

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Yay! Thanks, Kat!

Just a reminder for all teams - if I miss your completions or questions, PLEASE post again!! Or send me a message. But please do something! It is never my intention to ignore something, but I'm human and mistakes happen. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey everyone, I’m still away from my computer. Oldest grandkid’s birthday today. I will assign tasks when I get home in an hour or two. I probably won’t check completions tonight, so that should happen tomorrow. 🤞🏻

Hi Kat -
Quick ?

For this task - Task 14 - 61. Read 4 books rated over 4.5 on GR. can the rating be 4.52 or does it need to be 4.6?

I guess I'm trying to figure out what "over 4.5" is exactly. Sorry to be a pain. Thanks for the clarification!

[Laura]

For task 39. Read 6 books set outside of the US.

Is another planet acceptable, or does it need to be on Earth?

Laura knew I’d spotted the answer to this one here

For same Sub-Genre

Does
Romance > M M Romance

count? It's a sub-genre.

Anything 4.5 or over works for this task! If it is 4.52 - you are good. Maybe take a screenshot of it, especially if it doesn't have that many ratings. 😉

It can be anywhere that isn't in the US - another planet is not in the US. 😊

Yes, MM Romance is a sub-genre of Romance. 😊
