Team June - Reviews!
Bonus categories tracking:*Read the last book in a series.
*Read a classic book (100 years or older).
*Read a book with a buddy (in this group).(Felicia)
*Read a book by an author you have not read before.(Bookbuyer)
*Read a book by an author who was under 25 at the time of publication.
*Read a book that is over 500 pages.
*Read a book set in the US, Canada, or the UK.
*Read a book with a yellow cover (must be 50% of the color).
I have a question. If I, for example, read a book with a 50% yellow cover but is also from an author I've never read before can I use that book for two different bonus category points. Or would I only be able to use that book in one bonus category and find a different book forthe other category?
I forgot to add that into the main post, I will fix it. It's one category per book.

I know you've been buddy reading the whole series, but we usually require five comments per book to count. I'm going to discuss with the other mods, but we might be able to give this one to you as you have clearly been active on the thread. I'll get back to you on this one.
Felicia: We're going to go ahead and give you the points for this book. In future though, could you please make sure to make five comments per book on the buddy read thread?

We'll end up talking more about it after she finishes. Which I'm sure will end up equaling the required 5 comments. And we also added one another on social media and have talked that way as well.
But thank you. (:

Can I use the large print edition? I read it as an e-book, so that's what I used.

You can use the highest page count you can find as long as it's not an iphone edition. :)

Just an FYI, when you calculated the total points, my 2 bonus points were not added. They are in the list, but not on the graph.
Thanks, I left them out completely the first time and added them in. I will add them now.

Felica, yes, you can swap them around. Just post a comment saying what you want moved to which category.

Okay great. I'd like to switch Ruin and Rising to the "last book in a series" and I will use my buddy read with Bookbuyer for Heartless as that catergory when I do that buddy read.
