Please double check the dates on some of your books, Mbuye. To find out which qualify please check our Fundamentals Thread, thanks.
James is fiction and only one year old, so that one doesn't count, for sure.

Hi Lesle, would you be able to clarify about non-fiction for challenges? In the group reads if the subject matter is covering a period over 50 years old, it counts. Does that also work for challenges? Or is it only publication date?

Ex: I just finished Brave the Wild River: The Untold Story of Two Women Who Mapped the Botany of the Grand Canyon publication date 2023 -- subject matter a 1938 expedition.

Thanks!

You can use that book for the challenges, Michelle, since it's non-fiction.
