Does this cover seem red enough to count for the "Scarlet" challenge for Scarlet Witch?
Mod
would this count as someone swimming on cover?Would Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde count for conflicting nature?
Mod

Yes and yes.
Wayland, if I read a BOTM after that month can it still count for an energy cell?For example if I read The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi which was book of month in May in July or August, can I use it for an energy cell?

It was an ok science fiction story, not great but certainly not bad, and short enough that I was fine with it being just ok heh. Think I stole the idea from someone else here but can't remember who...

Sandy, did you post to the large thread? This is the keep-track & discuss thread. :)
Roger wrote: "Anyone know of a book for the trident challenge, The Poppy War has one in it and I am tempted to used it for that instead of an energy cell. I'm having no luck with finding something i want to read..."There's a pulp Perry Rhodan book called Tri-Planets, or something like that. I found a copy on eBay.

Really looking forward to joining this challenge next year. At first I didn't have clue what was going on, but I've been following the main thread for a few months now so I think (hope) I've got the idea now.Just a couple of questions, can you just sign up to either team at the beginning of the year and off you go? Do other people read with a plan of attack, or do they just read and try and get some points in there? And, is it sad that I’m looking forward to this almost more than Christmas? :)
Not sad at all! I'm definitely looking forward to this more than Xmas! I did it for the 1st time this year. I just signed up to a team based on which heroes I fancied and dived in.
I tend to go through my tbr and see what fits, and if I'm running out of time for a villain, I will look for a book to meet a specific challenge, but otherwise I tend to read what I want & see what fits 😁
