The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

Please post your general questions about the Summer 2019 Challenge here. Specific questions about individual tasks should be posted in the Help Threads for those tasks. You may find answers to some questions in FAQs.

What's the process when a question in a help thread hasn't been addressed?

I did a quick look through the various rules threads, but didn't see anything other than the guidelines for task creators. I know this particular task creator had some health issues crop up, but it's been more than 2 days...

typically one of the mods will weigh in if the question hasn't been answered in a week (after the first couple weeks of the challenge)

I had a look through the FAQs and the Rules but I couldn't find a determination about the Great Courses. Can we use these for challenge tasks? I just finished one and it is in Goodreads but it doesn't have a print edition. Have we run across this before? Thanks for any thoughts mods!

The rules state that "Audiobooks that do not have a written word equivalent, either published in paper or digitally, may NOT be used for SRC tasks. "

Ah, there we go! I thought I had seen something like that but must have just been looking in the wrong place/looking for the wrong keywords. Thanks Sandy! :)

Sunshine and I have had questions on this Task help thread unanswered since July 26 and July 27th. Can someone assist us, please? Thanks!

Task 20.8"

Thanks for the alert, Stacey. I've messaged the task creator. If she doesn't get back to you in a day or so, I'll answer for her.

Hi!
I posted this message originally in the 30.2 thread, but I think it might be more a general 'grammatical' question. Thanks for helping out!

I have a question about option 2 in 30.2- The book for the task should start with a P and end with an R. I have read this book for it: Predator's Gold.

I am not sure if it fits the task because of 's at the end of predator.
Is it still ok? :)

Thank you!
Laure

Sorry, no - the title word must end with R and "predator's" ends with an S.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll put the book somewhere else. :)

Quick question.

I was looking at the readerboard for Summer, which lists Diana K as the fourth 25pt finisher - so should she have task 25.4?

I only ask, as 25.4 in the fall list currently says "Andy P's task".

fixed. Sorry if it confused you.

No problem. Just thought you should know!
