General questions about the Spring 2025 season.

Can you get bonuses for combo’s with other tasks for the 15 point tasks?

No, the 15-point subchallenge is a separate thing that doesn't have combos either way. (Or other styles, like oldies, review etc)

Does this book count for reducing emissions. The number is not a word, so I didn’t count it. Is that okay?

Sorry, Claire, that doesn't work for that task because we go by the most popular print edition which is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Okay, forgot that part. Thank you.

I am having difficulty deciding if An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s by Doris Kearns Goodwin qualifies for 20.10 narrative nonfiction and 20.3 climate policy. Doris Kearns Goodwin writes the book as the story of her husband, Richard Goodwin and herself going through Richard’s boxes of memorabilia from his work on the campaigns of JFK, LBJ, RFK, McCarthy and well as work in the White House for JFK and LBJ. Richard was not a politician but he worked some of the most important speeches of the era and helped shape many of the policies of the two presidencies. And the sixties are an era not a particular incident.
Does the book qualify for either or both categories?

We have agreed it works for both :)

This works for both tasks.
