Katherine, this challenge has been mostly dead for the better part of 6 months or so, before it had a small resurrection back in July. I'm not even sure if the Original Author of the challenge is still an active member of the group!

That being said, I can only partially answer your questions. According to comments made by the Challenge Author, books made into any type of Movie or TV series will count. She did not leave any provisions for theater productions or Graphic Novels made into TV shows or movies. I would recommend considering the spirit of the challenge and using your best judgement.

Ok, thank you for answering my questions. :D

Since it appears that this thread is not active, I will probably do this for longer than a month to see how many I can get done in a bigger chunk of time.

I know you said made-for-TV movies count, but do TV miniseries also count?

Suzanne, this challenge has been mostly dead for the better part of 5 months or so, before it had a small resurrection last month. I'm not even sure if the Original Author of the challenge is still an active member of the group!

According to comments made by the Challenge Author, books made into any type of Movie or TV series will count. I would recommend considering the spirit of the challenge and using your best judgement, but I would believe that the answer to your question would be yes.

Ok, sure, thanks.
