Will we need our own thread for this challenge or will be having a spreadsheet?

There will be one review thread and I'll have a tracking spreadsheet as well! Both will be up by Dec 31st!

For the Stonewall Award books, can we use the picture books on the Mike Morgan & Larry Romans Children’s & Young Adult Literature Award such as or do these books have to fit regular page count requirements?

And in general can I use picture books?

How does this work ? I want to try it

You can use picture books if you combine enough to reach the 100 page limit. All books would have to fit the prompt as well.

Ok cool.

You have the wrong link for the least visited places one on the spreadsheet, it redirects to https://www.ranker.com/list/biggest-h...

Are we allowed to count rereads? (In this and the TBR toppler?)

Yep absolutely!

I think I actually tried to combine two lists, but they're correct now lmao. Thanks!

Yay, thank you!

If I finish a book that I started last year, and I read at least 100 pages this year, can I count it for a category in this challenge?

Sure that's fine

Great, thanks!

I just read which has a biracial character - but now I've found out the author is not biracial or PoC! I don't think I want to count it; what do other people think?

I wouldn't for the BIPOC prompts, but if it fits somewhere else that would be fine.

Andy, I think one of the links doesn't take you where it is supposed to take you. It's in the Religion category: 6. Read a book from the Books with Jewish Protagonists that are not set in WW2 list: https://hercommonplaceblog.wordpress....

It takes you to the blog, but not to the topic you mention.

Hmmm when I clicked on them all in the threads and spreadsheet it took me to the right place. It doesn't show the full link in either of the comments though so I'm not sure what's happening. I'll post it here too to see if that helps.

If you copy the part of the link above and add this, it should take you to the right place

I'm looking at the spreadsheet, and it only shows Andy as a participant. Do we request edit access to add our names to track or do you do that for us?

No I will track it all when I update things which should be soon ish.
