Right about where you can type there is a link that says "Add book/ author" click on that. Then type your desired book into the search box

At the bottom of the pop up pane, you can choose to either add link or add cover. Adding the cover will give you the pick

Hope that's clear

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I couldn't find a challenge suggestion thread, so I'll just put my idea here. I've done another "spelling" challenge like this where you were given the option of bonus/alternative books to use in place of two or three of the letters. For example, since O is so hard to find(at least for me), you could instead read a book that's released the same month as the challenge. Or you read a book in a different genre. Or whatever other alternative the challenge creator chooses. Just a thought for future challenges....

For the question about other types of books--the answer is yes, but no more than 3. We do accept YA, as long as they are PNR, PN or UF as part of the "regular" challenge. I've recently been finding some rather interesting YA books (just finished Amanda Hocking's Hollowland and am now looking forward to the next one.) Since it IS dystopian, if I'd held off reading it til this month I'd have counted it as a "regular" read, not one of the 3 "specials."

Does that help explain it? And I get a bit confused sometimes too. I just go on the 3/non-specifics since if any of my reading challenges have rules, that's usually it.

[Hasien]

Giving it a go!

Joann wrote: "Okay, I have to ask the question that has been asked many, many times before. Can we read non-PNR books (is the limit 3)? I'm getting confused between groups. :)"

Just to clarify.

Even though the group is called Paranormal Romance, we read almost any genre (YA, PNR, UF, etc) for the challenges, as long as it has a paranormal element.

Also, you are allowed to read up to 3 books that have no paranormal element (Meaning a book that doesn't have any vampires, ghosts, magic, etc...) for every challenge.

Hope that makes sense.
