Hi! One question. Do any books count if read in September? For example, if I read a book on 9/2 but the letter that it could match to doesn’t come up until 9/16, could I still add it?

Yes, any book read within september will count. You can bank or hold that book until it works for your letter.

Hi Alaina,
I'm sure it's just from a cut-and-paste thing (I do it all the time!), so can you share what month you mean in our ss, A2 cell? Not June, but....?

"Books must be read and revewed from the 1st of September to the 30th of September. If you've started a book before September 1st, you can use the pages that you read in June for page points ONLY. Unless you restart the book over within this challenge - please let me know if that is the case!"

It should be September, my bad, it should be fixed now.

☺️ thank you so much!

Hi Alaina,
When we post our completion reads, do we have to FOLLOW the alphabet (A has to be posted first, then B, C, etc.) or are we able to post out-of-alphabet sequence...as long as we get through the entire alphabet in each round?

Hmm I think I allowed posting the alphabet out of order previously (when we did this challenge two years ago) so sure, I’ll allow that again.

I also can’t remember if I have a note about X or not but X just needs to be in the object or whatever. Doesn’t have to start with that letter.

Do the words have to be objects that are reasonable to bring in a camping trip?
Examples: Can I bring:
1. Peace
2. Rainbow
3. Rain
4. Health
5. Warrior
6. Library

You can bring whatever object you want lol.

Hi!

I am currently reading an eArc & it doesn't have page numbers. For my quote, can I use location & percentage?

Example: Location 569 of 2768 // 21%

Can we vote/poll to make this a 3 month challenge? It would allow teams to reach 5-8 rounds.

No.

You don't have to reach the 8th round, if you do - great! It's just easier for me to have more rounds to start off with so that I don't have to keep adding to the tracking formulas. Well, hoping not to do that lol.

☺️ sounds good! I doubt we'll reach that high.

Hello! Quick question about the Tally sheet on the spreadsheet. I forgot I signed up for this and didn't check in until September 3, so the August 30/31 is not checked off. Will my team be penalized for this even though the challenge didn't start until September 1?

not at all. this was just a way to see the activity.

Can we use MC names?

If you truly want to bring them on your trip, go for it lol

I mean some of these sexy, full of muscles, men can be useful for chopping wood ;) or just eye candy :)))

Are we allowed to repeat words for different rounds?

So if Round one had Umbrella for U, can we use the same word in Round two?

Objects aren't repeatable throughout the challenge. So you could do Umbrella for U in round 1, but you can't do another umbrella in round 2. You could do Umbrella Stand, Umbrella Rack, Umbrella Holder, Umbrella Hook, etc.

Thank you!
