Oops - I totally thought I responded to this already 😅 hmm I will accept either one - if the author with one book is from this year. It’s just supposed to be a new author to you in general.
How do we "spin" and move spaces? Is there a real game board involved?
Mod
After your team completes the task for the space you are on, I will spin for the team and tell you what space you have moved to.
Mod
No, the spaces and tasks are provided on each team's spreadsheet - which will be in the first message of chat thread :)
@Alaina I don't know if it's like this with all the SS but I think you made a mistake at least with the Pink Jetta SS, because with houses it says as the first house veterinarian :')I highly doubt that that is correct rofl
Mod
I highly doubt..."
lemme check
Mod
Hmm, for Study abroad - will you accept fictional countries that I don't live in??
Mod
Sure thing :)
Are we to read/complete one book, or five books in our assigned job category?
Mod
So, just to be clear - if our team only has 4 people, we just need to read 4 books for each task? Can one of us read 2 books to complete the task, in case someone needs a break or is reading a long book for a different task?

If your team lands on a space that has a certain task - then yes, all 4 people would have to read a book for that said task. However, if a team member has taken longer than a week to start, finish, or post a book for the specific task - I will allow another team member to post a second book for the completion.
Do other books we read while completing our tasks (that don’t necessarily fit the task) count for page count/points as well? Do we also put these in the review section or is the point of this readathon to exclusively read books that fit the tasks?
Mod
Throughout the game, spaces will vary from task related to page point related. So if your team is on a task space, you can add the books that don't fit that specific task to the banked tab and then add those books if they work for another space that your team lands on.

Mod
Yes, that would work since it was featured within the book st one point.
Do you want us to share reviews right in our teams chat?
Mod
No, please post them on your team's review thread :)
For the graduation task does it work if it says ‘Now, barely a week after high school graduation, it makes me feel like one again—trapped in a magical tower, with no place in the world to go.’I know it’s a stretch I’m just having so much trouble finding one where it’s actually taking place and not just mentioned...
Mod
I k..."
Yes, that will count :)
Am I right to assume that if a members falls out, but the other members have read book for said task, said task is complete because the member no longer in the team ?
Hey Alaina, if you gave us a task on July 2nd and only 4 out of the 6 have posted the books or said they are reading one currently, are we able to use banked books from people who have already posted for that task or must we wait for all members? Does that even make sense? lol. I think we may have talked about this but I didn't see it here so I wanted to double check. Thanks!
Mod
...uh what task are you on?? the make a friend one?
Yeah, I believe we have 3 currently posted for it
Mod

I have a quick question. My team was supposed to read a book that features a graduation.I recently read An Abundance of Katherines. Now, John Green didn't specifically SHOW a graduation but it is mentioned in passing e.g., Katherine and Colin had graduated that morning. Does that count?🙈
And then there is the description of a small party Colin and Katherine had together in which they mention that they are now graduates or that they finally graduated from high school and they discuss about it.
In mine it mentioned they had just graduated and they said yes that works so let’s hope yours does too!!

sorry for just seeing this now, but yes it would've worked for the graduation task.

Q: Does book by a new author mean they only have 1 book? Or a new to me author?
A: Oops - I totally thought I responded to this already 😅 hmm I will accept either one - if the author with one book is from this year. It’s just supposed to be a new author to you in general.
Q: How do we "spin" and move spaces? Is there a real game board involved?
A: After your team completes the task for the space you are on, I will spin for the team and tell you what space you have moved to.

Q: Hmm, for Study abroad - will you accept fictional countries that I don't live in??
A: Sure thing :)
Q: Are we to read/complete one book, or five books in our assigned job category?
A: For an assigned task, everyone on the team needs to complete a book for it. If you need more spaces please let me know. I think I added five blank spaces to each task but some teams have more than that so if I forgot to add a space or two - let me know.
Q: So, just to be clear - if our team only has 4 people, we just need to read 4 books for each task? Can one of us read 2 books to complete the task, in case someone needs a break or is reading a long book for a different task?

Q: Alaina, for our Graduation task, does the graduation just have to be mentioned? I read a book that had one at the very end, but it was a small scene. Hopefully that still works.
A: Yes, that would work since it was featured within the book at one point.
Q: Do you want us to share reviews right in our teams chat?
A: No, please post them on your team's review thread :)
