Our very first category is...YA Romance! Once your country has decided upon a book for this category, please have one representative post the title/author below, along with the country he/she is representing. After each of the 10 countries have posted a recommendation, the mods will score the recommendations and a new category will be posted. So start posting!
Countries will have 24 hours once the category is announced to submit their book. As this is a new rule, for the first category it will be 24 hours from now. Also, no duplicates may be submitted, so choose quickly and wisely!

The goal of archery is to land your arrow somewhere on this multi-colored target:
As you can see, each region is marked with a set point value.
Every country will receive a total of 25 arrows, or 25 opportunities to score points. Once the competition begins, I will post a literary category/book recommendation request. Each country can nominate (1) book per category or request. Other than using your countries secret group to discuss options, all usage of the internet is not allowed. The Olympic staff will collaboratively assess the nominations and assign a point value from the picture above to each nomination. The gold, silver, and bronze medalists will be identified by the countries possessing the greatest number of points. There will be a total of 25 categories/requests.
And please be mindful of your stray arrows. We don't need an arrow through anyone's eyeball.
