Geocache Description:

Not a tough hide, but we raised the difficulty because it's a challenge cache.

Cache IS at the posted coordinates, but you must fulfill the requirements in order to log a find.
 

To complete this challenge, you need to find 12 caches that reference books, reading, libraries, authors, or literary characters.


Rules:

1. Past finds count for this challenge.

2. Finds can be made in any location.

3. You need 12 different literary references to complete this challenge. An Agatha Christie series of caches should count once, even if the series' different caches focus on different novels. Spread the love if you can. If you're a brand new cacher, though (under 100 finds), go ahead and count the Agatha Christie series as separate caches.

4. Literary references do not have to be mentioned in the cache's title.  For example, if you completed our archived puzzle cache called "The Parish Boy's Bike Path" (GC106JW), you'd need to use the novel Oliver Twist to solve the puzzle.  That qualifies. Your cache might also reference a line from a poem or play.  That's fine, too.

5. Show that you've completed the challenge by listing your caches with this format:

GC / Title / Find Date / Literary Reference / Yes or no: have you read it?

For a puzzle cache, you can list "Puzzle" under the Literary Reference, so you don't give the answer away.

You can upload a screenshot or create a bookmark log, or just list the items in your Found It log.


6. You can sign the log for this challenge at any time and log a "note" to the cache page, mentioning that you signed the log. But you may not log a find until you have completed the requirements. Once you complete the requirements, edit your log, change it to found, and change the find date to the date you completed the requirements and list the required information.

 

Special thanks to cachestacker.  This cache was modeled on their challenge caches in Galveston.
