Bookish Challenges discussion

If you have any questions please ask them here.

PLEASE NOTE that there will be a Q&A thread for every challenge so if you have questions regarding those, please ask them there :)

Can the same book used for several challenges if it fits the tasks?

For now, I will allow it. That might change in the future though. In case it does, I will let you know!

Okay, thank you!

what does MPG stand for?

Main Page Genre. It means one of the Genres listed on the book's page under the blurb about the book.

i thought so but wanted to check tx

How do we determine if a cover is 50% of a color? I'm really bad at determining colors. My son is still upset I painted his room green. It's really more blue than green, but i guess any green was a bad choice.

You can use this page

Just drag the cover into the drag & drop section and it will tell you the percentages :)
Make sure to toggle off this: "Exclude background color from extracted colors"
And there will usually be multiple shades of the same color, you can add the percentages!

Just checking... can the same book still be used for multiple challenges?

Yes :)

I read Pride and Prejudice last month and am reading Pride & Prejudice (manga format) now as I am comparing both copies for my book club.

Am I able to use the manga format for challenges if I have already used the full classic copy?

Yes that's fine!

Thank you Fiona.

If you are new to the group and join a challenge, are you allowed to backdate books read before joining the group but after the start of the challenge? i.e on the October quest, could I put the books I've already read this month before I joined in? (providing they fit the rules etc)

As a general rule, only books that were completed after joining the challenge count :)

Are rereads allowed?

Yes :)

Is it absolutely necessary that I have a Points Thread?

If you don't request one, I'll create one for you anyway as soon as you earn your first points. If you request one yourself you'll get 3 points to start you off :) But if you say you absolutely don't want one, that's okay!

page colour is there a percentage it needs to be?

Is there anything specific we need to do to sign up for the Mini Quests and Bitesize Challenges? Or do we just copy and paste the challenge tasks and get going?

Also just checking, it's still allowed to use the same book in multiple challenges?

For Mini Quests and Bitesize Challenges, just copy and paste :)

You can use the same book for multiple challenges!

Will the tasks for Feb be posted for the 2026 Annual Challenge?

I’d like to join please
