MountainKat | 31598 comments I am not waiting for corrections now, though I will be later in the challenge. So, here is your next task!

Task 3 - 8. Read 4 books with a beach on the cover.

To qualify for this task, the book’s cover needs to clearly and obviously show a beach. Ideally, you would want to show sand/dirt and the edge of water on your covers. You can use any edition’s cover to qualify for this task. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion posts.

~KarenH~ | 11338 comments Kat is away for the day today, but left next task info with me just in case, so here is your next task!


Task 4 - 1. Each player reads a book by the same author, teams decide author - no pass for this task.


As a team, select an author. Every teammate reads a book by the selected author. Please include the selected author in your completion posts. No pass for this task.

I haven't checked your posts, Kat will do that when she's back, but she didn't want to hold you up for potentially a whole extra day.
