May 4th is Star Wars day. Read a book with the genre "science fiction" on its main page. The genre may stand alone or be embedded.

Teri-K The Hum and the Shiver has "Science Fiction Fantasy" on the first page, but with only 8 users, so I'd like to lock it in.

Thanks!

Sorry, that won't work. The task requires that the genre be found in the genre box on the book's main page.

Sorry, Nichole. It's gone at the moment. Keep an eye out, it's likely to come back.

Jessie (jessiemoses) | 8 comments Hey Kristina!

It does say "Science Fiction" in the main page genres but I was wondering if this particular book can be considered for this task as it a 144 paged comic book

Saga, Volume 4

Thank you!

The rules of the challenge say: Books whose main page lists any of these genres: Sequential Art, Comics, Comic Book, or Manga may only be used for 5, 10, and 15 point tasks unless specifically allowed in the task description for a higher point task. AND Graphic novels, manga or collected comic book issues must be at least 100 pages.

So, since this is a 10-point task and Saga, Volume 4 is a collection of comic books that is over 100 pages you're good to go. Enjoy!
