Task 17 - 93. As a team, pick a Romance List from GR Listopia with less than 100 books on it, each teammate reads a book from that list. No pass for this task.

Once we select the list, do we have to verify that the book fits the requirements of the list? As long as it is on the list, and fits the requirements of this challenge, are we good to pick any book on the list?

It just has to be on the list. Please include a link to the list and the number of your book on it in your completion posts.

MKat - for this task 86. Read at least 1500 pages in books with a hat on the cover....


1. This lady has a covering on her head - would you accept that as 'hat'


2. Would accept a hoodie and if so, does the person need to have it up over their head? In this one you can see he has a hoodie but it's not on his head.

1 - She has a headband/scarf - does not work as a hat.

2 - A hoodie also does not work.

I would accept helmets, baseball hats, beanies, etc. as hats.

thank-you. didn't think they would but thought it was worth the ask!

I've had a question come to me in a message about DNFs - hard to believe that hasn't come up before... But I figured I would answer it here for everyone.

If you wish to count a book that you have DNFed for a task in this challenge, you will need to meet a few requirements.

I will accept DNFs if you read to the minimum page count of this challenge (150 p.) AND 70% of the book. Books need to be a minimum of 250 pages using the first edition Kindle page count. You must also state that the book is a DNF and explain why in your completion, including the page number you finished on as well. The page you finished on would be the number counted for tasks that ask the team to read a certain number of pages.

I will be away today, but I've assigned new tasks to those that have posted here. I will try to check for questions during the day, but probably won't assign more tasks until late this evening.

Task 21 - 124. Read two books read by 2 different teammates that were rated 5 stars. No pass for this task.

Each teammate reads two books for this task. Books selected need to have been read and rated 5 stars by two different teammates. There is no time limitations for this task, but the selected books need to have been marked as read and rated 5 stars. Please include a link to the teammate’s review in your completion posts.

MtnKat - could you clarify this task for us? Does each of the books we choose need to be rated 5 stars by two of our teammates? Or do we choose two books - each rated 5 stars by a different teammate?

The books selected need to have been read and rated 5 stars by a single teammate. You need to read books from two different teammate’s shelves.

I’m really tired, I hope that answered your question.
