**Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count only! If your page count comes from a Kindle edition published on the initial publication date on the editions page, it will count. If your page count comes from a Kindle edition labeled '1st edition', it will count. If your page count comes from the earliest dated English language Kindle edition, it will count. I am looking for one of those three things when confirming your books! As long the page count you list is correct, I will accept any link to the book. Ebook page count will be acceptable if no Kindle page count available. The acceptability of other page counts will be made on an individual basis.**
Please note that a rating is now required in your completion posts! A small review is also welcome. 😊

Q&A:
Q: Can teammates read the same book for a task?
A: There are a couple of tasks where the team needs to read different books, but if it doesn't specifically say that you are free to read the same book.
Q: Are audio only books allowed for this challenge?
A: If the audio only book is at least 6 hours long - it will count as a book towards a book total or as 150 pages towards the page total depending on what the task requires.
Q: What are the rules if the book is so bad you can’t finish it?
A: 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.

TiPS:
✱ Please make sure you have notifications turned on for key threads in this challenge! You need to be following your team thread and the Q&A thread.
✱ I strongly suggest that you create a BLANK template for your completion posts. DO NOT copy a prior post. DO NOT copy a teammate's completion. Start EVERY completion post from the blank template! This will help eliminate copy/paste errors along with missing components in a completion post.
✱ Please remember that I am human and will likely make some mistakes! PLEASE don't hesitate to point out if something seems wrong or unclear!

For task 76 (Read 6 books with a specific item on the cover, team selects item) : could the “item” be other than a “thing/object” ? like an animal ? A tattoo ?

24. Read 6 books on RRRC's bookshelf, the books can not be added by anyone on your team within the last year.
In 2021 - Kat's decision: We can read books added by me more than 12 months ago, or others added more recently by anyone else (eg Fran)
For 'set in the future or the past' - #92:
2021 determination = +25 years in the past and guessing it would be the same span for the future?
Are these determinations still ok?

Does this also work for our Favorites listed at #99?

No, an animal would not work and I'm leaning towards no on tattoo.

If outside the US, you can use the country unless you select a big city.

Thanks Kat !
And what about a tree ?

For a tree to work, it would need to be a specific kind of tree and clearly show it on the cover.

Thank you ! I ll note that precision for the team

There is a 150 page minimum for books (first edition Kindle page count), rereads and audios ok. Books may only be used once per player during the challenge. Players may read the same book for a task unless otherwise specified. Books do not have to be romance, but must be fiction.

“90. Each member reads a book published in sequential months, i.e. June, July, August and September 2019. Teams decide which months. No pass for this task.”
Is the year 2019 set, we just pick sequential months of that year?

No, that is just an example.

If your team has not designated a team leader, please try to do that. You can just comment in your team thread and I will see it there. It doesn't really involve tracking like in other challenges, just keeping the team on track and as a contact person.

Does the whole book need to be set there, or can it be a percentage eg location stated on the GR page or in the precis but not exclusive?
Thanks Kat!

Enough needs to be set there that it is listed in the book details or for it to be tagged. The book can have multiple settings though.

I plan to announce the first task a little earlier than scheduled, probably about 3-4 hours - sometime around 11 or 12 US EDT. Remember you need to post in this thread when you are done with the first task and that tasks are assigned no sooner than every other day. The second task cannot be assigned until Friday. I will be prepped and ready to do that from my phone - and will hopefully not have too many copy and paste errors! 🤞🏼
I will be assigning the second task to teams that finish the first without checking your posts - I won't be able to do that until we are home over the weekend. 😊

0. Read a sports romance (MPG) or a book with a primarily green cover, teams decide which. No pass for this task.
With both college and pro football seasons starting, I’m sure I’m not the only one with sports on the brain! As a team, decide if you are a book with primarily green cover or a book with MPG Sports Romance. If selecting a sports romance, it can either be the generic Sports (alone or combined) or the specific sports such as football, baseball or hockey - but it MUST be MPG! If selecting books for the cover option, green must be the primary color you see on the cover to qualify. No pass for this task.

Yes, just sports has to be MPG for the task.

Could you give us some guidance on how to find the Kindle page count you want us to use?
On Amazon, when you look at a Kindle page for a book, there is a page count listed. How do we know for sure it is the right one, if it isn't a very recent publication?
Is there a message # that covers this?

Needs to be the primary color on the cover, close to 50% or more.

Information required when posting your completion/s:"
From the message you indicated above, it says what will work:
**Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count only! If your page count comes from a Kindle edition published on the initial publication date on the editions page, it will count. If your page count comes from a Kindle edition labeled '1st edition', it will count. If your page count comes from the earliest dated English language Kindle edition, it will count. I am looking for one of those three things when confirming your books! As long the page count you list is correct, I will accept any link to the book. Ebook page count will be acceptable if no Kindle page count available. The acceptability of other page counts will be made on an individual basis.**
Use a kindle edition that fits the description above from GR. Only use a page count from Amazon if there isn’t one on GR.
