Does this one work? My native language is English
. It was translated from French

For 5.9 Foreign Language or 5.10?
It would work for 5.9. Since 5.10 is a book of your choice that would work there as well

Yes, it was a question for 5.9. I am notorious for putting things in the wrong place, Sorry!

I am going to read Second Thyme Around by Katie Fforde.

Do we have to read a novel? Can I read a non-fiction like Hollywood's Last Golden Age: Politics, Society, and the Seventies Film in America by Jonathan Kirshner?

non-fiction is fine

I'm going to change my selection for this. I began reading before September 1st, but it isn't over 500 pages. I was simply going to read it again, but it was far too disappointing to read over. I have written a review of it that can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm not sure what book I'm going to replace it with just yet, but I'm sure I'll find one rather quickly.

Since this task is free choice, any book that fits the general SRC requirements fits. This appears to be fine.

Ancillary Justice for my independent study.

I just want to double check I'm reading/understanding the rules right before I go ahead and read this. This book has Sequential Art > Graphic Novel on it's main page genre but as it's a 5 point one, it's still acceptable for this task, right?

Right, Sequential Art, Comics, Comic Book, or Manga may only be used for 5, 10, and 15 point tasks.

Great, thank you!

changed my mind...again. I got distracted from the Challenge books by this book 2 days ago, and I couldn't fit it in anywhere else. I Am SpockI Am Spock

It's great stuff! Totally riveting.

I have a book that I started to read on August 31, abandoned it and now I'm reading it again from the beginning (as I got completely lost in what was happening, LOL!)

Can I use it for this task?

Yes, as long as you started at the beginning again on or after 9/1

Yes, I started re reading it only last Friday.

Thanks!

Hi, can I clarify - I see that for this task we can read books that are NOT on the AR bookfinder, but can we read a children's book that is on AR bookfinder but doesn't score highly enough to meet the level required for other tasks? e.g. can I read a book that is IL: MG - BL: 4.3 - AR Pts: 3.0?

You could perhaps put it in here:

20.6
OPTION 1. Meet the boys.
The show follows four "nerdy" guys as they make their way awkwardly through life and love: Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Rajesh.
Read a book by an author who has one of these four names as their first or last name. Names must match exactly, no variations or hyphens.

From the Rules:

ONE book with the IL designation of MG or MY (in UK) with a BL of at least 5.0 OR AR Pts of at least 5.0 will be allowed for ONE 5-point task

The scores in your example do not meet the requirement of at least one 5.0+ score

Hi! Do books that are marked children's but are under the 5.0 book level requirement work for this? I want to use The Thief Lord with the AR info: IL: MG - BL: 4.8 - AR Pts: 13.0

You may use 1 children's genre book that has at least one 5.0 score per challenge for one 5 point task . The AR points = 13 so that would work for this task if you use your one-time allowance
