Date 2 - A - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 2.Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.
Don't make more work for yourself than necessary - if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don't have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the page count and edition - say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!
You may use separate editions of your Scavenger Hunt books to qualify for the different tasks. Links MUST be provided.
A is for Abrazo - Read a book showing a couple in an embrace on the cover
To qualify for this task, the book's cover needs to show people embracing. I do not need to see full bodies, but the cover must enough enough to see that there are at least two people hugging on the cover.
A is for Alligator - Read a book set in one of the following southern US states - NC, SC, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas or Mississippi.
To qualify, your book needs to be set in one of the following states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina or Texas. Qualification can be from the book details on the main book page (state or city within qualifying state), precis, title, or lists. Lists need to be specific to the qualifying states or will be examined similar to combo tags.
A is for ??? - ???
To be revealed when the date begins.
A is for Anticipate - Read a book that has been released in 2022.
To qualify, the selected book needs to be initially published in 2022. Make sure you use the initial publication date! If there is a date at the top of the editions page - USE IT! Otherwise, I will be looking for the earliest dated English language edition regardless of format for the qualification.
Date 1 B is for Best has finally ended!Any posts made after this will not qualify for this date. Remember do not edit your post, if you need to make any corrections - REPOST! If your post is edited after the date ends, it will not count.
You have until 3 PM US EST tomorrow to make any requested corrections.
This message does not indicate I have checked your team threads and your completion posts! If I have commented in another message, I have checked your team thread.
Is the secret group helpful for anyone? It didn't seem like anyone was really using it but me so just want to know if I should make a thread for A or not

Thank you for posting! This was probably the one I was dreading most lol. Might not get as many done as usual but we will see.
Here's the hidden task :) A is for Antagonist - Read an enemies to lovers romance.
