Quick question. Im thinking of reading a brand new book. It has its own GR page and from the blurb you can tell its romance but there arent any tags yet.
Im reading pages from adding up teammates ages.

If not specified in the task, does there need to be a tag?

MPG Romance is not required for this challenge, but books do have to be fiction.

Thank you for everything you do for us, MKat! We can manage to wait a bit, lol.

Yes, you can use the current decade.

I think I gave a task to all the teams, please let me know if I missed something. It is harder to be sure on my phone.

Hi Kat,

To check for 83. Read 8 books with a white flower/s on the cover.

Is this restricted to actual flowers, or would an illustration of a white flower count (picture, tattoo etc)?

It can be drawn, but needs to represent an actual flower. So no to picture or tattoo.

*Edited to fix the autocorrect 'correction'.

[Starstruck]

Thanks Kat, so, if I understand correctly, the top cover here https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... would work.

Also, while this is a long shot, do you (anyone) know how to get the desktop functionality back? I used to be able to reply to posts, add in links, and filter books on the editions page. This has all disappeared and clearing my browsers cache, and logging out and back in hasn't helped.

I would say no to that cover - it looks like jewelry, not an actual flower.

As for getting the desktop version back, there should be a link at the bottom of the page - on my current page it is on the right under the copyright and links for the app.

Question
Task 11 - 29. Read over 750 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

My team picked athlete.

Does Power Play work for this? Both MCs are retired NHL players and current EHL coaches.

It's not a big deal for me to read another book if retired is stretching things too far.

The book is tagged 'athletes' - that works.
