Reading with Style discussion

Post any General Questions about the Fall 2023 Challenge here.

Hi Elizabeth, Hope you got my three possible tasks.

Yes, thank you!

It would be wonderful if you could set up a planning thread for the fall tasks. Thanks.

Done! (I always forget this step.)

Thanks, Elizabeth.

I would like to read The World Was My Garden: Travels Of A Plant Explorer by David Fairchild


Please confirm that it qualifies for the Prize Worthy style for the National Book Award - Booksellers Discovery Award.

Yes. I have added it to the GR book record. That page is heavly cached, and I'm not sure how long it takes for awards to display. If it isn't on the book page by the time you post your claim, please refer to this post.

Thanks!

I understand about halfway bonus for finishing all 10pt or 20 pt tasks. Didn’t we have a completion bonus for competing all of the 20 tasks in the Season Challenge? Or do we just give ourselves another 50 pts for finishing the other half?

Each time you complete all 10 of either the 10- or 20-point tasks you get 50 points. We used to have a 100 point finish for completing all 20 of the 10- and 20-point tasks. But 2-50 point finishers is the same as 1-100 point finisher. And, in fact, the 50-pointers are worth more because you can earn them more than once for the same 10 tasks.
