Hopefully that is my last scavenger hunt book for the week. I have several library books I need to jump on as they are coming due! Plus I looked at the coming weeks and don’t think I will do as well. I’m wondering what Kat will do for people like me that don’t use goodreads for their to be read stack. I have a list on the library for books I want to check out and stack on my kindle I want to read but I only use goodreads to keep track of what I have read.
as long as all 7 of your books qualify and weren't already claimed, your good on scavenger hunt books...nice job!
Amazing job! I was like that and had to finish a couple books this weekend but I'll have some books to add for this week and hopefully can get a SHR in there somewhere.

Checked your list to mine and found the difference.
Katt's last book didn't qualify for Hi-Tech. They were using something from inside the book to qualify for the task and that is not allowed in this challenge as I can't check it.

Date 6 - L – Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 6.Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.
Don’t make more work for yourself than necessary, if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don’t have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the book details or cover, say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!
You may use separate editions of your Scavenger Hunt books to qualify for the different tasks. Links MUST be provided.
L is for Lead – Read a book that begins a series.
To qualify for this task, the book has to be numbered 1 or lower in a numbered series listed on GR. Please provide the link to the series page in your completion post. For this task, the series must have a series page and be numbered on GR.
L is for Leafy – Read a book with a distinct plant on the cover.
To qualify for this task, the book’s cover needs to show a distinct plant. I need to be able to distinguish at least one plant on the cover – a green blur in the distance is not going to work. To work, the cover needs to clearly and obviously show at least one plant. A tree, shrub, houseplant, flowering plant, etc., will qualify, grass on the cover will not work. You can use any edition’s cover to qualify for this task. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion post.
L is for Lighten – Read a book that has been unread on your GR shelves for over 5 years.
To qualify for this task, selected book/s need to have been unread on your GR shelves for over 5 years or as described below if you are newer to GR. Rereads will not be allowed for this task!
● If you joined GR prior to or in 2016, you can use any unread book you added to your GR shelves in 2016 or earlier. Show the date you joined GR and the date the book was added in your completion posts.
● If you joined GR in 2017 or later, you can read any of the first 200 books you added to GR. On your profile page click on ‘name’s’ bookshelves (above the list of your shelves) – this will show all your books on GR. At the bottom of the page, set it to show 100 books per page. Click on ‘date added’ to sort by the date the book was added to your shelves. If the arrow is pointing down (showing most recently added books first), click again to reverse so it is showing the first books added. You can select any unread book on these first two pages of books for this task. Show the date you joined GR and the date the book was added in your completion posts.
This is using the date you joined GR not the date you joined RRRC.
L is for Lullaby – Read a book featuring a pregnancy or infant
To qualify for this task, the title, précis, list or tag would need to include the words ‘pregnancy’ (or its variants), ‘infant’ or ‘baby’. The précis can also expressly state in other words that the book has a pregnancy in the story, this only applies to pregnancy and only to the précis. These words need to be in context, ‘baby, it’s cold outside’ does not work. ‘Child/ren’ and ‘kid/s’ will not be acceptable for this task, the selected books need to feature a pregnancy or infant. ‘Childrens’ as in children’s books (books written for kids) is specifically excluded from this task. ‘Childrens’ will not be an acceptable qualifier even if the book is clearly not a children’s book.
👀 PLEASE READ ME! 👀hi all! hope your week is going well...I just realized as I posted the tasks breakdown for date 6 that I never posted the call for date 5...hopefully you found your way to Kat’s post...if not, the call was E is for Earbasher...read a book with more than 300 pages...date 5 ends tomorrow, August 5, at 12:00 am EST...please make sure you’ve posted any completed books by that time.
Kat kindly posted the tasks breakdown early for date 6, which begins on Saturday, since she will be away this weekend and wants to give everyone an opportunity to understand what is needed to qualify for each task. Lead and Leafy are pretty self-explanatory, but Lighten has the potential to be tricky for some.
Take some time today and/or tomorrow to make sure you understand the Lighten task. It’s very possible it won’t be called, but better to understand now than be frustrated all weekend trying to find a book that fits the task. Hopefully, this task will only be needed to qualify for the SHR! 😊
Kat answered a number of questions so far regarding exceptions and how to handle different circumstances on the Q&A thread. Please read through her responses before asking because she may have answered your question(s) already. If not, feel free to post your question on the thread or reach out to Kat.
I, apparently, threw out two questions for Leafy that Kat hadn’t anticipated. So if you have questions about the other two known tasks, she’s happy to answer questions about them also.
