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 7 or in progress on Dec 15 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 7. You must have completed a book by Dec 15 to count it.
