Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments If you want to sign up for this week long readathon which will be held between the dates of October 20th and October 26th, comment below so I can add you to the list!

We will be having a point system that for every book you read you get some points! This is a way to add some competitiveness into our readathons (we all love that!) and a way to push ourselves to read more!

Our point system will look like this:

Pages:
450+ : 5pt
300+ : 4pt
200+ : 3pt
100+ : 2pt
Under 100 : 1pt

Sequel: 4pt
First In Series: 3pt
Standalone: 2pt
Prequels & Manga: 1 pt

Everyone will start at the same time. Since I am in EST time I will start at midnight. So please post what time zone you are in so I can get you the time you will want to start at, depending on what part of the world you are in! :D Thanks!
