Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.
Don’t make more work for yourself than necessary, if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don’t have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the book details or cover, say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!
You may use separate editions of your Scavenger Hunt books to qualify for the different tasks. Links MUST be provided.
O is for Ocean � Read a book with a body of water on the cover.
To qualify for this task, the selected book needs to have a body of water on the cover. The bodies of water need to occur in nature and be of some permanence, puddles, pools and ice rinks will not count.
O is for Octuple � Read a book from a series with 8 or more books listed on GR.
To qualify, the selected book needs to be in a numbered series listed on GR with at least 8 books included in the series. In between books will count in the series total for this task, but to count they must be distinct works. Not all books in the series need to have been released, but an unpublished book needs to have a title and an expected release date available for it to count as one of the required books. Series without order or numbers will not be allowed for this task. Series such as 1001 Dark Nights will also not be allowed.
O is for Once in a Blue Moon � Read a book written by an author with 50 or fewer distinct works who was first published at least 10 years ago.
To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be written by authors with 50 or fewer distinct works whose first book was published prior to August 2012. When looking at the author’s GR page, under the profile and questions is a section for the author’s books. Under the section title ‘author’s books� it has statistics - average rating, number of ratings, number of reviews, number of distinct works. For this task, the number listed there for distinct works needs to be 50 or fewer. This is the only place I will look to confirm your books - if the number listed there is not 50 or fewer AND the first book was not published more than 10 years ago, your book will not work for this task. Please include a link to the author’s GR page in your completion post along with the date and title of their first published book release (or any book published more than 10 years ago). If the author writes under pseudonyms, the name listed on the selected book needs to qualify for this task. If the author’s primary name is listed along with the pseudonym, for example “Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb,� the pseudonym still needs to qualify on its own - you may not use the primary name to qualify your book. If both the primary and pseudonym names are listed authors on the GR main book page, the pseudonym is the name that needs to qualify. Books written by duo authors that do not write under a combined pseudonym, i.e. Christina Lauren or Ilona Andrews, are not allowed for this task.
O is for Oral � Read a book that has an audio edition available.
To qualify, the book needs to be available as an audiobook. You do not need to listen to the audiobook, but one needs to be available. Please link to the audio edition on GR of your chosen book. If that is not available, please provide a link to audible (preferred) or Amazon showing the audio edition.

O is for Octuple � Read a book from a series with 8 or more books listed on GR.
To qualify, the selected book needs to be in a numbered series listed on GR with at least 8 books included in the series. In between books will count in the series total for this task, but to count they must be distinct works. Not all books in the series need to have been released, but an unpublished book needs to have a title and an expected release date available for it to count as one of the required books. Series without order or numbers will not be allowed for this task. Series such as 1001 Dark Nights will also not be allowed.
Remember books must be 90 pages (first edition English language Kindle) and MPG Romance!!
You have until Friday, August 19 @ Midnight US EDT to post your completion(s).
Please ensure that your completion post conforms to message #3 of your team thread. If you complete more than one book for the date task, be sure to include that information in your completion post. Remember no discussion in your completion posts!

I'm sorry, these books do not qualify for Octuple. One of the in-between books does not have a publication date so there are only 7 books that qualify.
