Hey guys, we've had someone drop out of the challenge, so if anybody wants to switch from fun to serious, or from solo to serious, just let me know ☺

[Sharon]

Hi Sarah, I will do it if you still need someone.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That would be great ☺ Thanks Sharon ☺

If you could join team J. that would be fab ☺

Sarah, just wanted to say thanks for doing so much with this challenge. I'm sure it's a lot of work and you are doing an amazing job.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Ditto!!! You're awesome!!

[Jamie]

For "Read a book with soil/earth/ digging equipment/ something buried, or a box or trunk on the cover" can I use as a box?

If not, any ideas what I could use this book for? Thanks!

[Jade]

Would count as Read a book with a house on the cover ?

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

Would Through the Ever Night fit any other category besides romance, fantasy, buddy read, trees and 800 pages? :)

[Jade]

@Kim at DG -Through the Ever Night

it fits into these categories:

-Read a book by an author, or with a character who’s name starts with the letter ‘A’ (for Alan) (ARIA)
Read a book set in another world
- Read a book set in the future, or in the past (after 2041 or before 1989)
- We lost the game! Read a book in which someone goes missing.

I think they're all listed in this post here -

[Jade]

Would What We Saw count as horror?
it has been shelve once as horror.

[Rachmi]

I know I'm asking the same question for this last two months but since I didn't make to read the book, I thought I'll ask you again because this is a different challenge :D So I started last December but stop at 20% of the book, I think. And it's still in my currently reading list. Can I use it again for this challenge? I want to read from the start as I completely forget the first 20% I've read.

[Noella]

Is that a house in the bg of this cover?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Jade wrote: "Would What We Saw count as horror?

I don't think this would count for horror. By the looks of it, it's been shelved a couple of times as 'horror/thriller/suspense' which I think is people putting it on that shelf because it's a suspense rather than a horror. According to the publishers it's 'Juvenile Fiction / Social Issues / Dating & Sex' so I don't think we could count it as horror.

YEs, that's fine ☺

[Noella]

Cool, I wasn't sure because it looks like castle ruins ! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

well, it's a building so it will do ☺

[Rachmi]

Thanks Sarah! I think I'm gonna read this book this month, for real now, lol

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Good luck!

[Jade]

With Part 4- Jumanji
Because Jumanji has two J's, can you cover two J's categories or are you only allow to cover one?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can do two ☺

[[deleted user]]

For a car on the cover does my copy have to have a car on the cover or just the book in general? I want to read and that's my cover but in a different language this is the cover

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just use the cover of the alternate edition when you post and that is fine ☺ You can use any of the covers available on goodreads to meet the descriptions ☺

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Sarah

[phoebe]

I feel like this was answered in ^^ but can we use an edition in another language for the page count?

[Tati]

Yes, phoebe

[phoebe]

Thanks Tati :)

[Danielle ♥]

Sarah, I have a question - do number of pages come into play when you're calculating points? Do they hold a lot of weight in the scoring, or, is it better to read more books versus more pages? I may pick a few shorter books to help my team move through our first round quicker, unless it's worth it! Sounds horrible but I want to help boost our team a bit :)

[Irene]

It doesn't sound horrible Danielle :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, pages will come into play, every 200 pages read is equal to 1 point, but whether or not reading more pages will help you will depend on how things have gone by the end - how many books your team has read, as well as how many books the other teams have read.

If one team reads three books which have 150 pages each, that team will earn 5 points, if another team reads 3 books which are 400 pages each, they will earn 9 points. So the second team will have earned more points for the same 3 descriptions than the first team.

However, if by reading shorter books you are able to cross off more descriptions, then you might be able to earn more points that way. If one team reads three books which are 400 pages long and earns 9 points, but another team reads 8 books which are 150 pages long, then they will earn 14 points.

So I guess basically, the pages will come into play if teams have managed to cross off the same number of descriptions.

Does any of that make sense? I feel like I've not explained it very well.

[Berit☀️✨]

You explain that perfect it makes complete sense to me :-) and it actually is probably the absolute best way to do it all! Now we just all need to figure out what the best way to do it all is ;-) and that is up to all of us as teams :-) if that makes sense ;-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's all about strategy again really ☺

Yes you explained it very well! And the examples you gave clarify further. Thank you for the information, this is very helpful!

[Danielle ♥]
