Elizabeth Sofia | 43 comments I have a question regarding the tasks for this readathon. On the tasks that involve a particular color on the cover: I am color blind, does someone else have to help me pick covers that have the required color, or can I choose covers based on my perception of the color being on the cover.

Either way, I will have fun doing the tasks. The people who work with me at our public library are quite used to helping me find covers that fit prompts. Even our patrons of all ages help me to the great merriment of all.


RomanceBookWormXoXo (anabellashay) | 378 comments It would be best to have someone help you pick the colored books. Bc it has to match the color to qualify.

Elizabeth Sofia | 43 comments Dear Anabella Shay, Thank you so much for your quick response. Since I signed up for several of our groups December monthly challenges with tasks, I can have a significant amount of hilarity asking the library patrons where I work to help me. Besides having fun, we get to talk about books, and sometimes the patrons will even check something out.
Thanks again for your help. Have fun with your December challenges.


RomanceBookWormXoXo (anabellashay) | 378 comments You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy HOB’s readathons.
