for the goals, It looks like there is rope on the boat on the cover? Or can it count for post modern? (set from 1950s onwards)

It can be used for the rope goal

On the google preview it looks like this is a graphic novel / comic? If so, we can't count it unless we can verify it as being over 25,000 words :(

--edit it is only 16,000 words unfortunately--

Ah of course. No worries. :)

Mini challenge #5
I have a question, for the quests can a book be counted for more than one if it qualifies? And the book I read has some puppies that the MCs pat but they are only there for one scene and they have nothing to do with all the Egyptian stuff so does that still count? And for a book to correspond with the quest does it only need to fulfill one of the things in the quest? This isn't really important but it would be great if someome could clear this up for me. Not sure if I'm in the right thread for that.

Thanks MB. It is just one quest per book ; and it only needs one thing. Imagine an OR at every comma ;)
