My GR book pages are still the old way. Can someone verify if crime shows up on the new style page for this book? It's on the old page under mystery>crime and it seems like the new style doesn't have embedded genres? So I wanted to check. 1979
Mod
It's there. As far as I've seen, the "parent" genre is the one that does not necessarily show up on the new page, while the sub-genre does.
I'm also on the old version still. I would like to read The Fishermen and the Dragon: Fear, Greed, and a Fight for Justice on the Gulf Coast but the MPG is Crime> True Crime. Would this one still work or is it out because Crime is the "parent" genre?Thanks!
Mod
True Crime is what shows on the new version.

Mod
that would probably be safest.
Can I get the following books confirmed:The Labyrinth of the Spirits for 'Spain"
Dead Silence for "Space"

If you see the new GR book detail page, you may click "..more" to display up to 10 genres.
The "see all" genre list will not to be used for SRC tasks.
A book need only be verified once in the thread - then it can be used by any participant in the Fall 2022 challenge.
Please do not post task-specific questions here ("is this cover green enough?") and other such questions.
If you are planning to use a book for a genre task and fear that the genre may disappear, post a link to the book in this thread. We will not "lock in" the lack of a childrens or kids genre on the main page.
When you post your book, if the genres have changed, just link to the post in this thread in which it was verified and you'll be good to go.
Because of the volume of verification requests in this thread, I will not be trying to compile any sort of master lists. If the book you are using does not have the required genre at the time of posting, but has been verified in this thread, please link to the post in which it was verified in your completed task posting. If the book you are posting still has the genre on the main page, there is no need to refer to any posts here or in other help threads - if it's there on the main page, you're all set.
