This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
To participate in this challenge, participants will be split into randomly generated teams. Each team member will read a book of their choosing (following the challenge guidelines) to earn points for their team. Points will be awarded based on the length of the book, whether or not the book includes one of the keywords, and/or if the book was a buddy read or not. You can earn more bonus points if the book title includes more than one of the keywords or if the book was published in August of any year.
You may also participate as a solo participant if you wish to do so. (I suggest doing teams).
Teams will be announced on July 31st so please try and enter before that date so you don't miss out on any fun! The teams will be announced on this link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
For this challenge, the code words are as follows: Boy, Last, Day, Into, Dear, Summer
To earn points, read and review books as normal. Each book you read and review will earn points for your team. Points will be added if the title includes one or more of the keywords listed above.
***PLEASE NOTE***
◈ You may use different editions with different titles, but they must be made up of English letters (accents are okay).
◈ You may read any book for this challenge that meet the following requirements:
-For YA, NA, Adult, Non-Fiction books (no illustrations) book must have at least 50 pages.
- For Middle-Grade/Children books (no illustrations), the book must have at least 75 pages
- For Manga, Graphic Novels, Plays, Poetry, books written in verse, etc., the book must have at least 150 pages
- Books that are mainly illustrations are not allowed.
◈ Only books that are read in August can be used for this challenge. If you started a book before August and finish it in August, that can be counted.
◈ To claim your books after reading, you must rate and review the book. (Review doesn't have to be elaborate just a brief summary of how you enjoyed the book. This is to encourage other readers to discover new books.)
◈ If you have any questions about the eligibility of a certain book, just reach out to us and we can clarify any confusion you may have.

◈ Buddy reads will double the number of points you receive for your pages. Example: YA Book with 345 pages that were buddy read would be 12 points instead of 6
