The verifications in this thread apply only to the Summer 2023 challenge - they do not carry over to future challenges and genre verifications from the past challenges do not carry forward - verifications are only applicable to the current challenge.

If you see the new GR book detail page, you may click "..more" to display up to 10 genres.
The "see all" genre list will not be used for SRC tasks.

A book need only be verified once in the thread - then it can be used by any participant in the Summer 2023 challenge.

Please do not post task-specific questions here ("is this cover green enough?") and other such questions.

If you are planning to use a book for a genre task and fear that the genre may disappear, post a link to the book in this thread. We will not "lock in" the lack of a childrens or kids genre on the main page.

When you post your book, if the genres have changed, just link to the post in this thread in which it was verified and you'll be good to go.

Because of the volume of verification requests in this thread, I will not be trying to compile any sort of master lists. If the book you are using does not have the required genre at the time of posting, but has been verified in this thread, please link to the post in which it was verified in your completed task posting. If the book you are posting still has the genre on the main page, there is no need to refer to any posts here or in other help threads - if it's there on the main page, you're all set.

Peg | 518 comments I hope I'm posting this in the correct thread...
I'm reading Masala Lab : The Science of Indian Cooking and I just noticed that there is cookbook listed in the main page genre right now. This is not a cookbook at all, and definitely not a light read with some of the science. I know cookbooks are not allowed in SRC.....can I have this book verified as non-fiction and usable in the summer challenge?
Thank you.

In lieu of a "not really a cookbook" thread this probably is the best place for it!

Confirmed NF, not a recipe book.
