Q: Can books overlap between the main Around the Year challenge, the Fall Reading Challenge, and the winter read-a-thon?
A: Yes, absolutely! Some of the tasks are designed to be easy for you to fit in books you’re planning to read for ATY.
Q: Can a book be used for more than one winter readathon challenge prompt?
A: Each book can only be used for one prompt in the winter readathon individual challenge, but you are welcome to use them for the group challenge if you are participating in that as well.
Q: Can books started before Dec 2 or in progress on Dec 10 be counted?
A: You may count a book started before the challenge begins as long as you read at least 100 pages of the book on or after Dec 2. You must have completed a book by Dec 10 to count it.
Q: Does this book count?
A: There is no prize attached to this readathon challenge, so it's your challenge, your rules. I'm looking forward to seeing how you choose to interpret your cookie connections!
Q: Can I do a prompt multiple times?
A: Yes! If you want a tin full of rum balls, you go for it. Just don't read and drive ;)
Q: Can you use books in both the individual challenge and the team challenge?
A: Yes, the two challenges are separate and you can use books for both challenges.
Q: How long does a book need to be to count for the Individual Challenge?
A: Each book needs to be a minimum of 100 pages (or 100 minutes of audio).

Sorry, my fault. I didn't see an Individual Challenge tracking thread like we normally have so thought it should be done here, should it all be done in the Individual thread? Usually there are two, one for the challenge, and one for overall tracking of page count and books read.

How long is this challenge? When does it start and end?

I assume a book must be at least 100 pages long to count for the Individual Challenge, same as the requirements for the Team Challenge. Could you please confirm? Thank you!!
