The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is for "marking" a book genre. It is not for assigning genres - only for locking in genres that currently appear on the book's main page.

The verifications in this thread apply only to the Spring 2018 challenge - they do not carry over to future challenges and genre verifications from the past challenges do not carry forward - verifications are only applicable to the current challenge.

A book need only be verified once in the thread - then it can be used by any participant in the Spring 2018 challenge.

Please do not post task-specific questions here ("is this cover green enough?") and other such questions.

If you are planning to use a book for a genre task and fear that the genre may disappear, post a link to the book in this thread. We will not "lock in" the lack of a childrens or kids genre on the main page.

When you post your book, if the genres have changed, just link to the post in this thread in which it was verified and you'll be good to go.

Because of the volume of verification requests in this thread, I will not be trying to compile any sort of master lists. If the book you are using does not have the required genre at the time of posting, but has been verified in this thread, please link to the post in which it was verified in your completed task posting. If the book you are posting still has the genre on the main page, there is no need to refer to any posts here or in other help threads - if it's there on the main page, you're all set.

I already asked this in the Winter thread, but now seeing this post here I realize it won't carry over, so I need to ask again. Sorry for the extra work

Celtic Tales, Told to the Children is not really in the child's genre but unfortunately I can't verify that on AR Bookfinder, which furthers the thought that it is not a child's book.
The author Louey Chisholm was editor and author to various works of mythology and folklore. I believe "Told to the Children" is actually more of a series' name, seeing as this is part of the title of numerous books by this man, and that the publishers added this to make these books more marketable.

So could I please have a statement that verifies this is actually not a Children's genre?

sorry, no - this thread is only to "lock in" the presence of specific genres, not to make judgments on children's books.

You would have to ask for this in the not really for kids thread. However, this book would not fit the definition of "clearly for adults and not for children," based on the info in the various reviews.
