Holiday books means....books that include any one of the following themes or a combination of them... will be counted. Christmas, Winter, December holidays.

In short: If the book contains any of these themes, it qualifies as a Holiday Book for the challenge.

200 pages in total.

Okay, sign me up then!smiley4 For both

Well maybe ask a human to do the full thing? No one wants to share credit with AI.

Can we get a badge made by an actual human? That badge looks kinda childish.

And what books count as "Christmas" books. Like if I read a mystery and it has 1 chapter set around "Christmas" does that count? Or if it's a book set in winter and snow does that count? What exactly counts as Christmas and will there be like a separate thread to post a review on the "Christmas" book?

+1 on the badge. Sorry if I’m making light of someone’s efforts, but in my sincere opinion, IF has many capable graphic designers who could make a much better-looking badge.

📚 Books in any language, any genre is allowed provided they are chapter books. Graphic novels, comics etc that are heavy on illustrations and low on text aren’t allowed. Books must be a minimum of 60 pages to qualify. Plays are okay, but we aren’t including poetry at this juncture.

📚 We will also allow FFs/ Online fiction of 18,000+ words OR 60 + pages. Shorter fics can be allowed provided they are logged as the same entry. For eg:

If you read 3 FFs that are 6000+ words / 20 pages each, you will log them as one entry of, 18000/ 60 pages.

Please note: You can log a maximum of 5 fics in this manner. Which means if you are reading only 10 page (or shorter) fics, they won’t qualify. You will have to read one longer fic so that 5 fics will total to 60 pages.
