The BTC9: Reading in the Clouds (2)
Date 2 - A - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 2. FULL TASK LISTPlease 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 Acceptable - Read a book with an average GR rating between 3.0 and 4.0 inclusively.
Actual Date task!**
To qualify for this task, the average rating for your selected book needs to be between 3.0 and 4.0 inclusively. This information can be found on the main book page under the title. Please include the average rating in your completion post. If the average rating is likely to change over the course of the date, i.e. the book is new or has few ratings, it might be advisable to take a screen shot. Also, if your rating is significantly higher or lower than the average, perhaps wait to rate the book until after the date ends.
A is for Acetaminophen - Read a book with an MC in a medical profession.
To qualify for this task, the book's title, series, précis, tags or list will need to indicate that a MC is a doctor, nurse or paramedic. Things look for to qualify: doctor, nurse, paramedic, EMT, medical or hospital. Medical specialties such as pediatrician or obstetrician will be accepted, but non-medical professions such as counselors will not. 'Healer' will be allowed in context if the book is either MPG Paranormal or MPG Historical. If in doubt, please ask.
A is for Antagonist - Read an enemies to lovers romance.
To qualify, the title, series title, precis, tags or lists need to indicate that the selected book is an enemies to lovers romance.
A is for Autumn - Read a book initially published in a fall month.
To qualify, the selected book needs to be initially published in a fall month - September, October, November or December of any year. 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.
Off to check my books for Average Ratings!!! LOL.
And please remember that this task finishes 1 day earlier than normal. Reposting the task since it dropped to the bottom on the previous page (in case there is confusion).Date 2

All your books counted. This is just the total when they were added up.
Hi C - we don’t get a rose for every book unless we read a book that ticks off all the four categories for that week ~ aka a scavenger hunt rose. If you reread how the roses are earned, you will work out how Kat came up with the 5 roses 🙂

Hi Aoife - you can edit an initial post if you have just posted and you notice an error. A repost is required if a bit of time has passed ~ especially if Kat or I have noted that we have checked the posts etc. Or if its at the end of the date :)

Date 3 - C - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 3.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 book details or cover - 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.
Hidden task revealed:
C is for Cadet - Read a book featuring an MC that is current or former military.
To qualify for this task, the book needs to have a character that is active or former military. This can be indicated in the precis, title, series, tags or lists. The following tags/lists are examples of what will be allowed: military, vet (not implying veterinarian), veteran, soldier, navy, army, air force, marines, SEAL, Army Ranger, fighter pilot. Combo tags will be allowed IN CONTEXT - so if your book is tagged 'cops_firemen_military', but the precis indicates the hero is a sheriff for example (or even if all the other tags just indicate law enforcement), the book will be disqualified. I strongly suggest you find other qualification if possible - I will be SUPER PICKY with the combo tags.
C is for Cage - Read a book featuring shifters.
To qualify, your book needs to include in the title, precis, list or tags 'shapeshifter', 'shifter', or 'were-something'.
C is for Celestial - Read a book with the night sky on the cover.
You can use any edition’s cover to qualify for this task. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion posts. If in doubt, please ask.
