Tobias Eaton | 1 comments Now I'm not sure that I trust any of you with guns - or any other weapon for that matter - but I have been instructed to conduct the shooting competition. And no, I will not be addressing any bullet-wound injuries.

Each team has been assigned 10 targets (you can see your country's targets below if you don't believe me). Every target consists of three rings:
Ring One: Blue
Ring Two: Red
Ring Three: Yellow

Each ring has a corresponding action that must be completed before you can move on to the next target:
Ring One: Read a book in the designated genre.
Ring Two: Write a review for the book.
Ring Three: Correctly answer 3 trivia questions for the book.

To complete this challenge, each country, collectively, must read, review, and answer trivia questions for 10 books. To clarify, only one athlete must read each book. Reviews must be 50+ words long. If one or more trivia questions are answered incorrectly, the reader will receive another opportunity to answer 3 new trivia questions. The country who completes this challenge the fastest wins!

Now before you get too excited, you do not get to choose 10 random books - they must meet certain qualifications. Any complaints, and the complainer shall find themselves factionless - I have no reservations whatsoever. Anyway, each target is paired with a specific genre. Readers may choose any book that falls under that genre to complete a target. Below are the list of genres:
1. Romance
2. Sci-Fi
3. Nonfiction
4. Fantasy
5. Dystopian
6. Play
7. Mystery
8. Horror/Suspense
9. Contemporary
10. Comedy

Each target will be crossed out as it is completed to track each country's progress. And now, let the shooting begin! And if you need to ask how to properly load and shoot your gun, perhaps you should let someone else to take your spot. I'm don't want any fatalities on my watch.
