The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

5.6 Read the Months

Spring, in the Northern Hemisphere, encompasses the months of March, April and May. Read a book with one of these words in the title, subtitle, or author's name. The word can be in any position.

Possessives or plurals work, but embedded does not. Multiple authors will work as long as one of them meets the criteria.
Example: Ina May's Guide to Childbirth would work, but Maybe Someday would not.

Do subtitles count?

Do books with multiple authors work?

Susan A wrote: "Do books with multiple authors work?"

From the "Default Rules and FAQs", Authors section:
"8. What if a book has multiple authors in a task involving author names, initials, or other characteristics (gender, birthplace, etc.)?
The general default rule is that books by a single author must be used. This can be varied by the task creator until task becomes final. A single author is an individual Goodreads record of an author. This name may represent a single writer or a pseudonym for a team of writing partners, if the name listed on Goodreads is an individual name. If two names are listed, but one is a pseudonym for the other, this is still a single author.

So, it appears using a title with multiple authors would work, but using an author name would NOT. Please note that the tasks are not final yet, so you might check back after the new challenge is underway.

Thanks. I did not realize there was a default rule for single/multiple authors.

Task has been updated to clarify subtitle and allow multiple authors.
