So for instance if you click on this book Dead Run and then click on all the show all you will see Top Shelves or what we call tags. (14 pages of them). You need to find something that says 3 Star(s). So if you look at this book in column 3 - 6 down on the 1st page of top shelves you will see 3 Stars 4 People. So this would be able to be used for that.

Now I see what and where the tags are. Thought it was all on the main page of the book details. Thanks for clearing this up for me.
Would a book mobile will count for a vehicle if it's in the whole story, 100% of the time, and they're on and around it a lot but not physically on it 50% of the time? Or is the category literal? If yes, that's going to be a tough one!
Mod
That'll be fine.
What happens when you have a team mate disappear? Alicia hasn't posted in over a week. I'm on another team challenge with her and she hasn't posted on that one in a couple weeks either.
Mod
I will alert a back-up player to be ready to step in if Alicia doesn't check in and read a book for this Week.
Setting - if it is on a ranch does that satisfy the setting on a farm?
Mod
When I think of a ranch, it's usually about cattle, and farms are usually about growing crops. So, I would say 'no' unless there is a lot of crops being planted or harvested on the ranch.
Hi Lanelle, can we use England for 'Mainland Europe'?
Mod
Sorry. No.
Wikipedia says that continental Europe excludes the islands: the Greek islands, Cyprus, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, the Balearic Islands, Great Britain and Ireland and surrounding islands, Novaya Zemlya and the Nordic archipelago, as well as nearby oceanic islands, including the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Svalbard.

Just asking again to make sure we can't use...I have several books that are on a farm/ranch where they are raising cattle to sell for produce. I looked up the definition of farm, and it says "a piece of land, typically with buildings, used for growing crops and/or raising animals for produce."
So is it that we can't use books that say ranch instead of farm? Or is it that we can only use books that raise crops and no animals?
Mod

I'm looking for a farm where they raise crops. There can be animals, but I'd like there to be plants grown for eating. And it should be more than one family can use.
Will favorites work for the favorite tag task?
Mod
Sure.
Mainland Europe -- does Sweden work for this? (Not one of its islands.)

Will taking a trip by train work for vehicle?
Mod
I googled "Is Sweden part of mainland Europe?" and the answer I got was "...Sweden is very much a part of Europe..."
Short answer. Yes :)
Mod
When I thought of this setting, the first book that came to mind was Murder on the Orient Express. Train will definitely work.

Woohoo! I actually came to ask if cruise ship setting would work and in the middle of typing realized I was reading a book with train travel!
I'm sure I'm looking right past it -- but is there a place to see everyone's scores/progress?
Mod
Message 2 of each team's thread shows their current task count.
Hi Lanelle, as Michelle is having to leave the team, would I be able to do two books a week to make up for having one less player?
Mod
I'll get you a back-up player.
Hello again, a quick question about our completed task count being shown as 75/100. Our spreadsheet confirms 77, due to our using a boost (2 players finished an extra task each). Thought we'd best ask for a correction. Thanks!
Mod
Sending you a PM right now, Meg.
Can I use this publish date: First published December 10, 2019 for both number 10, and number 19?
Mod
Yes.
For numbers can I use a book that is 17.5?
Mod
Would you be fitting it to 5 or 17? Then, yes.

With the list of tasks in Message 2 of each team's thread.
Oh, sorry. I looked at that post but I missed it. Oops. Thanks!
