I'd like to join! Just to clarify, you only have to get one of any of the prompts for each colour?
Mod
Hi! So, yes, you only need one prompt for a book to work, but if it also works for other criteria, you score additional points.
Eg. For color Yellow:
This book follows these criteria:-
1. Genre: Romance- 1 point
2. Cover: Yellow: 1 point
3. Number: 5 in pg count (358 pages): 1 point
So, you get 3 points for reading this book. But, you can use only 3 criteria for one book, at a time. It's up to you which ones you want to choose to score maximum.
Hopefully, it's clear?

All the best to all participants 😊
Can a book count for genre multiple times? ie:Green genres are Historical fiction/nature/mystery
Where the Crawdads Sing would work for all three so do you get +3 points for genre?

One book works for one genre only.
what is the last day of the challenge? 30 june?
Mod
Yes! For reading the books...but you can log the books later as well.
So a pride flag is made up of six colours. Do you get 8 points or 48 for completing one?
I was just wondering the same as Erica. And for rainbow flag you get 12 points in total right?
Mod
You get 8 points additionally on forming the flag. It's not for a single color. You already gain points by reading the books for specific criteria.
Mod
And for rainbow flag you get 12 points in total right?"
Yes, for rainbow, you get 12 in addition.
This challenge is based on the original pride flag, created by artist Gilbert Baker in 1978.
Did you know that each color on the flag has its own meaning? The famous rainbow flag consists of 6 colors: red is symbolic of life, orange is symbolic of healing, yellow is sunshine, green is nature, blue represents harmony and purple is spirit.
->The original eight-color flag had hot pink which was included to represent sex and turquoise to represent magic/art.
->The current six-color version emerged very early on, in 1979, after pink had to be skipped due to a lack of fabric, turquoise was removed and the indigo color was changed to royal blue.
-->Each color will have some criteria which can be used to read different books. Each criterion has some points allotted to it.
GENERAL RULES:-
1. Books read On or AFTER 1st June will count under the challenge.
2. The book read must be at least 120 pages to count.
3. A maximum of 4 books an be read under one color.
