Date 6 - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 6.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.
L is for Lad - Read a book with a child on the cover or in the story. Mystery task
To qualify for this task, the title, précis, list or tag would need to include the words 'baby', 'child/ren' or 'kid/s'. The child needs to be a minor, grown children would not qualify. These words need to be in context, 'baby, it's cold outside' does not work. 'Childrens' as in children's books (books written for kids) is specifically excluded from this task. 'Childrens' will not be an acceptable qualifier even if the book is clearly not a children's book.
L is for Las Vegas - Read a book set in Nevada.
To qualify, your book needs to be set in Nevada. Qualification can be from the book details on the main book page (Nevada or city within Nevada), precis, title, or lists. Lists need to be specific to Nevada or will be examined similar to combo tags.
L is for Leap of Faith - Read a book by a new-to-you author.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be written by a new to you author. Please include as your qualifier a link to your shelves, ideally searched for the chosen author. You may have more books by the author on your shelves, but only the one selected for this task can be marked as read or rated. The book read for this task must be on your shelves! You may only use each new to you author once, after that they are no longer new to you. For this task, I will need to be able to see your shelves. If your profile is private, you will either need to open it for the duration of this task or friend me. If I am am unable to verify your books, they will not count!
