Unfortunately The Storygraph doesn’t have the option to take books out of the challenge. They only have the option to hide books, which makes them disappear for everyone else, but the people who have added them to the challenge will still have them and see them (and so in the end, these books would still count for them).
In the Trans Rights Readathon challenge I saw someone put down a transracial adoptee as trans. I felt like I was going crazy because I had just read that book and researched the author and thought I missed something. 😅 Thanks for doing the extra work to weed out the authors that don’t fit. To me, doing the research of which authors and books fit which prompts is very much a part of the fun and the challenge but I’m sure you weren’t expecting to have to do that work for others.

oh my..... I have no words for that -_-
But yes, another prime example of why we need to research our authors before choosing a book for certain prompts / readathons / etc <3
Thank you for saying this!
