Aaron: can you tell how your book fits the challenge? You can find the descriptions here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Then add to your post which description you choose, so I can add your points. Thanks!

It's okay, he started reading before October, so he can't earn bonus points, so the book doesn't need to fit a description x

Thanks, Sarah, I'll keep it in mind and add the points.

There's no limit on how many times you use a description. Just 1 description for a review.

@Maddie Sarah said in the rules that for this particular challenge to receive bonus we just have to meet the minimum threshold. (50, 100, 150).

@Jamie: Oh thank you! I'll edit that post then. I wasn't sure if we did decide to change the rules.

Maddie wrote: "@Jamie: Oh thank you! I'll edit that post then. I wasn't sure if we did decide to change the rules."

I had to read the rules twice when signing up. It threw me off lol. But I like it. No more having to save those graphic novels or novellas until we have enough! Simpler. :)

Yeah much easier to score as well!
