Natalie (creativecountry0407gmailcom) | 437 comments @Staci: Does a book about Ireland work for March?
Also, will there be Audio Books, Back to the Classics, and New Authors Challenges next year?

Hi Natalie! Glad to see your interest.

For March, a book about Ireland very likely would have a green cover. For a book to count, it would need to have green on the cover or in the title.

Great questions about the annual challenges. This is the best place to pose that question. Loraine is hosting annual challenges in 2022.

There will be New Authors but not Audio or Classics as there was not enough interest in them in 2021.

Hi Natalie, you can always do your own classics and audiobooks in the annual challenge 'Bookshelf Binge" where you can create your own stacks.
