Ridiculously Random Reading Challenge - Q&A Thread: Ask your questions below!


message 3: by Bhavya (new)

Bhavya  | 2 comments If we join now are we supposed to catch up on the previous prompts? How does it work ?


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 11047 comments No, there's no "catching up" to do. I would just give you your first prompt and go from there. You have quite a bit of time to complete the challenge.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 1007 comments Where do we check in for our next prompt?

in the thread michelle makes for you she will post a random promt you reply your book and she will post next your prompt


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 1007 comments Ok, i finished my latest prompt a couple of days ago. I was wondering if we needed to check in separately.

Alyana  | 2089 comments Hi Michelle, regarding prompt 17, which involves social media, could you clarify whether a specific platform should be mentioned, or if the general term "social media" is acceptable?

I would take a specific platform or just "social media" as a general term.

Alyana  | 2089 comments Hi again Michelle, for these variations, box, boxes, boxed, etc.} found in the text - does this have to be just about the sport ?

No, it can refer to a box you put things into. That part doesn't matter. 😊

Alyana  | 2089 comments Hi Michelle, for the character eats cheese, does it need to be just the cheese or it can be a sandwich with a cheese on it?


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 11047 comments A sandwich is fine as long as there's cheese on it.

Lori Wilen | 321 comments Hi. For challenges where all letters of a word must be found in the title of the book does a subtitle count:

Example: The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York

Thanks.


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 11047 comments Yes, for my challenges, I will allow subtitles, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 11047 comments Sorry for the delay! I was at a seminar most of the week, and the wi-fi was much worse than expected.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 1007 comments I have a question, Read a book published since 2008. Does that mean 2008 and after?
