Jan: 26 / Feb: 10
YTD: 36

Post your February 2018 reads and releases here. Please include the points for the post and your total points so far.

This challenge is for readers and/or releasers. Join in at any time! The themes and guidelines can be found here: http://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/23/548408.

Each book can earn up to three points:

Read = 1 point. All books count, including registered books, audiobooks, e-books, library books and non-registered books.

Release = 1 point. Books must be registered. Both wild and controlled releases count and you can count releases from other challenges.

Theme = 1 point. If the book you read and/or release fits the monthly theme, you get another point. Each book can receive a theme point only once. Embedded words are allowed, and theme words can occur in the title or in the author’s name.

February: By air or by sea—things you would find in the air (e.g., kite, plane, bird, wind) or on or in a body of water (e.g., fish, boat, shell) and words associated with those things (e.g., egg, fin, feather, soar, float). Also words for bodies of water and for the sky (e.g., lake, river, atmosphere). Cover pictures also count. Some of these books will also work for the Great Backyard Bird Count Challenge: http://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/23/548749.

Examples: The Flying Troutmans, Black Rainbow, The Peppered Moth

Be creative, and if you have any questions, please post here or pm me. If I haven't answered your question in the thread, please do pm me. I don't get to check the forum very often.

In the challenge ?

Here are the questions I've received so far:

Moon, sun, cloud: Yes! Also star, planet

Chicken Soup for the Soul books: Yes

Does the book need to have a picture of a bird? No

Pictures of UFOs on book covers? Yes!

Pictures of birds that aren't flying? Yes

I've edited the post to include cover pictures.

Here's a question for you: I don't think this challenge traditionally included cover pictures, and I can't remember if I've included them from time to time, but I'm happy to make this change. I changed this month's post to include them. What do you think about a more general change to allow them?

I think it might depend on the actual Challenge theme. For some topics adding pix might be too broad. For others it would be perfect, and could be stated in the theme's rules. But that's just my opinion.

As an example in the Never Judge a Book By Its Cover Challenge, Secretariat sometimes allows words in the title, sometimes it has to do with the author's name, sometimes a picture, and sometimes a combination of any of the above that she chooses.

[For example, in the Ultimate Challenge 's July's theme of verbs. There may be no verb in the title, but for any book with a person, or even an animal, I could make up an explanation that a character on the cover was doing something that fit for almost every cover. Like sitting, sleeping, dreaming, thinking. In my opinion, it would be too broad. But that's just me. You're the boss here!]

Good points. Let's do it theme by theme, depending on what makes the most sense.
