Cutting back on my reading, but I do have some that will fit this so I'll join. :)
I'll join, although I don't think I'll do too well :P
Id like to join. But how does this work exactly? Where do we check in? Do we create a specific shelf? Sorry Im new and Never done this before. Thanks!!

Okay, I'll be creating a thread called "Fresh Fall Reads - Reviews!" where you'll be able to post your reviews like this:
Publication date: just list the date
Review: link to your review
Buddy: link to the buddy read thread for the specific book
Number of pages: list page count
If you need help with learning how to find your review or buddy read links, let me know. Also, the review doesn't have to be long at all and can just be a few lines of what you liked/disliked or four progress updates as you read.
As for the shelf, you'll only need to create one if you're planning on reading a certain amount and want to put it in the challenge widget which I'll post later tonight or tomorrow.
Did I answer everything okay?
Jackie, yes thank you. Can books be counted in this challenge and the October Halloween challenge? Or should they be separate?
Nadia wrote: "Jackie, yes thank you. Can books be counted in this challenge and the October Halloween challenge? Or should they be separate?"All of the books you read can count for any of the October, November, or December challenges as long as you read them within the respective challenge dates. That is, if you want to count a book you read from October 1 to October 5 in any of the October challenges, you can. However, if you want to count a book you read from October 30 to November 5, you can only count it for the fall challenge. Does this make sense? If you have any questions of what counts for what challenge, just post it on the respective challenge thread and either Elizabeth or I will help out.:)
Mod
Elizabeth and Maya, I've added you to the top of the list.:)
Here's the challenge widget thing you can use to track your books if you wish: https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/...
The book I just read Maternity Leave by Julie Halpern ha sa publication date of Sept 2015. Would this count in this challenge?
No, sorry as it was published before September 15.
Nadia: I've changed my mind and will allow books published since September 1, 2015. Thus, your book would count.:) I'm sorry for changing so abruptly.
Oh no problem. I'll write up the post now onto the other thread. thanks!

How do you insert the picture of the cover onto the reviews, I can't seem to get the picture to insert, so I've written out the title name and the link to the cover on goodreads.
You go to where it says add book/author and click on cover. Then you search for the book
This challenge is fairly easy and just requires you to read/review as many books publishing this fall as possible.
Rules:
1. All books must be published between September 1, 2015 and December 15, 2015.
2. All books must be read and reviewed between October 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015 Pacific time.
3. No graphic novels/commics/mangas allowed.
Points:
1. One point per book read and reviewed.
2. Half a point for novellas (at least 50 pages long).
3. Half a point if the book is a book you need to read before the published book. For example, if the book publishing this fall is third in a series and you need the second, you get half a point for the book.
4. Two points per every 500 pages read.
5. One point for a buddy read in the group.
As always, sign up below and don't hesitate to ask if you have a question.
