*Format: You can read any format you like (eBook, audiobook, print, etc).
*Genre: As long as your book matches the instructions for the category you are completing, you can read any genre you like (picture books, poetry books, manga, travel books, fiction, nonfiction... anything goes!).
*Read Dates: You can use books you've started reading at any time, however you must finish the books on or after the challenge/holiday segment start date and you will only get credit for the amount of pages read during that time (e.g. if a book is 450 pages, but you read 80 pages prior to the segment starting, you would only get 3 points for the 370 pages you read).
