If she misses deadline this week and doesn't show next week either, you'll have to wait out next week's deadline, then roll. Missing the deadline twice means automatic disqualification, so she'd be off the team.
Hey! I've checked in with one of my teammates and I'm not entirely sure if she will be posting a review today. I think I'm going to wait to hear a for sure answer. I was going to say that we will use our free pass but I don't see one on our post. Did we not get one? 7 books for 7 readers. Thank you for your help!
Mod
I looked through the time stamps on your team's completion posts and it looks like you definitely earned it, just didn't mention it on the Post Your Spot thread. I'll add the free pass to your thread.
Hi Denise, I wanted to check with you - we forgot to post another bonus point (reading 3 or more books in a series) last week. Can I make another post or just edit the existing post? Also, can we claim two bonus points (different) in a week?
Mod
Absolutely, you can claim several different bonus points in the same week!
For 40. School/College/University need to be an MPG or is ok if is found in shelves or precis?
Mod
Either of those is fine. Anything that is largely set in a school or e.g. on a college campus will work.
Denise, another question. For starting and finishing a series bonus, will the novellas also be counted? i.e do I need to read the novellas to claim the bonus or only the main books?
Mod
Just the main books will suffice for the bonus.
For alternate #45, does a witch flying on a broom count as transportation - for instance
Our alternate this week is a fictional place/ universe. can that be a fictional town in a real state?
Mod
Absolutely.
Mod
be ok for alternate #42 cover item: furniture?"Sure. The bed is clearly visible, it's fine.

Thank you.
I'm not sure if the book I've started is ok for this task.
Tokyo Ever After
The book is tagged high-school by 25 people but is not primarily set in school. I'm 60% in book and I don't know if is ok this book or I need to find another book 🙈 but I'm in time to ask it 😅.

I've read that book, so I'm actually puzzled by so many people tagging it high school - from what I remember of it, I'm afraid it doesn't fit the task. 😕
If we are on #9 does a .9 count for that like a .5 counts for a 5?I'm on Talen which is a 7.9 of the Dark Protectors Series
Mod
For #57 - Seasonal Theme does it have to be centered around a holiday or can it be something like Suddenly Last Summer where a season is in the title? Or can it be a book that takes place during one specific season even if it doesn't reference it in the title?
Mod
A reference in the title isn't required.
Mod
Denise wrote: "Yes, only articles are excluded, "of" and "and" count."Thanks thought so but wanted to be sure!
For alternate 69: oceania, are these books supposed to be written by oceania authors or are they based in oceania?
Mod
For alternate prompt blue cover, would The Selection
work?? It is listed on the Goodreads blue cover list but sometimes I look at it and it looks blue and sometimes it looks different. Just wanna start it only if it counts. Thanks!
Mod

Did some one win? There doesn’t seem to be any chatter out there.
Mod
For the task set in the future, will this work:
- from the blurb: The Sun God chooses the village of Endwever to provide a mortal womb. The birthing of a star is always fatal for the mother, and Ceris Wenden, who considers herself an outsider, sacrifices herself to secure her family’s honor and take control of her legacy. But after her star child is born, Ceris does what no other star mother has: she survives. When Ceris returns to Endwever, however, it’s not nine months later—it’s seven hundred years later. Inexplicably displaced in time, Ceris is determined to seek out her descendants.
Most of the book (from 24% to end) takes place in this 700 years later period.

I have read book 2, 3, 3.5 of 'mistborn trilogy' series.Book 1 (which would be a reread) fits the alternate: set between 1600-1837.
Can this prompt be used to avail the bonus point of finishing a series?
Denise, can you please take me off 4cing me to Finish? I'm just screwing them up with my scatter brain.

Unfortunately it won't work due to the "no re-reads" rule for that bonus point, it applies to all books in the series.
Mod
It's a shame so close to the finish line, but of course, it's no problem. :)

Thank you!! :)
Quick question.. a team mate read and made the review on time. But I can't see what book was read..I know from her personal feed what she read but I can't see in her post. But the review of it was submitted was it ok that i rolled? or will i need to use our free pass and re roll?
Update: The book has been added at 9:47 pm cst on Friday night. Do i need to reroll?
Mod
I might have asked you to re-roll if this weren't the last week, but as it is, just stick with what you have. :)
Mod
Congratulations to Team 3 - Serious About Series, who have finished all their reads for spot 101 with plenty of time to spare!
For everyone asking if this means it's the end of the game for everyone: Each team - or each player individually, if opinions differ within teams - is welcome to keep going until they've crossed the finish line. Let me know if you decide to continue! :)
Team 11 will continue for 1 more week. There are at least 3 of us wanting to continue.

I talked to my Co-Captain & we decided together to go ahead & roll.
Our teammate does have a book that would work on her read Shelf. She also has a book still marked currently reading. If she gets her review in for either of those tomorrow can we have our free pass back?
Also what happens if she doesn't show up next week?
