Got it. This is a horse on the cover right?

Yep, there is a horse on there!

Would this be ok for Artistic cover?

or

Artistic is subjective, what is artistic to me may not be artistic to anyone else. That being said, this task is up to each individual. I trust everyone will be realistic! LOL

I'd prefer to be 'surrealistic'. 🙀🙃

Touché!!

That's very artsy of you, Richard! (love it!!)

Ok thanks!! :)

Angie, for "3. Read a book with the word WRESTLING in the text" - is wrestle acceptable or does it need to be the complete word?

For this specific event, it needs to be wrestling.

So for example, someone doing physical therapy exercises as he is recovering from an injury? Like someone who is doing these PT exercises to get back to his life/work, by "PT test" you mean like undergoing a doctor's exam?
Thanks!

PT Test (physical fitness test) is used to assess a person's physical abilities for some professions or events; e.g., military, police, rescue, athletics.

Ahh ok thanks

Angie, our Trampoline task "1. Read a book with a character named George" isn't on the sheet

Give me a few and I'll get it fixed. Sorry about that!

Would this be excepted as yellow.

For "2. Read a book with one of these items on the cover (Ribbon, Hoop, Ball, Clubs)"

Would a hockey stick or a baseball bat work for club?

for 3. Read a book where the MC wears protective equipment (like those used in boxing)

Would high tech armor work? It's a full suit of futuristic armor

If this is for the red, yellow, green on cover - yes, I see both green and yellow in the badge and would also call the background a shade of yellow.

Yes, I'd accept either of those.

That would be the ultimate in protective equipment! I'll accept it.

Thanks!!

Enough of a forest? knowing it takes place in Alaska? For A forest on the cover (an actual forest, not just trees)?

Yes, either of those would work.

Would this work for a circus element on the cover

Yes, I'd take that. It looks like the outside of a game booth/tent and you can win stuffed animals at the games.

Hi Angie, would you consider this as ribbon on the cover?

Can't really tell if it is cord or ribbon, but it looks flat to me....so yes, I'll accept that as ribbon.

Thank you :)

Can this count for third in series or does it need to specify a series number https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B091P7LSY...

It doesn't necessarily have to have a number, but it should be the 3rd book in a series. Volume 3 of that series doesn't meet the page count, so I'm going to say no on the Combined edition of volumes 1-5.

Hi Angie, would this work for the ribbon task?

yes

Yay! Thanks!

Would you allow a character who is a baker wearing an apron or oven gloves as "Read a book where the MC wears protective equipment (like those used in boxing)"?

Very creative! Those things are protective equipment for the baker, especially the oven mitts/gloves. I'll take it!

Awesome, thanks! 😁

Hi Angie, I'm back! lol

I have a few questions regarding the new sport.

1. For the race scene involving a bicycle or motorcycle, there was a scene where there were a stream of cyclists but it was not really mentioned that it was a race, would this work?

2. mountain or off-road trail on the cover, does this look like a mountain to you? -

3. And lastly, I don't know about this one - you can tie to BMX Freestyle racing?

1. Yes, if there are several cyclists, I'll take it.
2. Looks like a mountain in the background.4
3. This can be any book you can tie to BMX Freestyle racing. The key is "freestyle"; meaning you can use your imagination and pretty much anything goes, as long as you can provide a feasible explanation of how it ties.

For 1. Read a book that you can tie to BMX Freestyle racing, can it be related to the description right above. Like set in California, set in the 1970s, 60 in the page number, or similiar?

In addition to Kari's question, can a publication date work as well like when bmx freestyle started in the Olympics?

Yes, anything that you can link to BMX Freestyle racing.

Yes

Hi Angie, this is harder than I expected, for the set in London task, would you accept this book Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words?

Alyana wrote: "Hi Angie, this is harder than I expected, for the set in London task, would you accept this book Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words?"

I feel like the setting for that book will be the entire UK. I'm going to say no to this one.

Angie, can you add the October Official Buddy Reads to the drop-down list?

I sure can! Sorry about that, the range was wrong and I thought I fixed all of them.

Hi Angie, I know the competitive part of this challenge ends tomorrow, I don't think I can finish my books for our current sport by tomorrow. How does the scoring work for that?

All completed books on the SS that were completed through 10/31 will count for final points. I will award medals for the completed tasks as well, for the final score.

Today is the last day for the competitive portion of this challenge. If you have banked books or books read today that fit tasks update your SS as those will count toward your final total.

(If you want to continue with the events at your own pace, just post in your thread and check in as normal to received your next events.)

Hope you had fun!

Just wondering why 185 was not accepted as 18 in page count?
