2021 3rd Team Quarterly Signups - Series Challenge!
Every book can be posted for this challenge, so technically there are no rules. However, you do get bonus points for some of the books you'll read!
You get extra bonus points (on top of the bonus points for reading a series book) for reading a book that’s a part of one of the mod’s of this group's favorites list! You will not receive bonus points if you read a standalone novel (except of course, if it’s on a mod’s favorites list).
Felicia's Favorite Shelf
Alaina's Favorite Shelf
Andy's Changed My Life Shelf
Aly is special and has two shelves:
Aly's Books that Wrecked Me Shelf
Aly's Favorites Shelf
***These links will be posted in the first comment of both team's chat/review threads for easier access.
Here is how the bonus points will work:
1st book in a series - 1 bonus point
2nd book - 2 bonus points
3rd book - 3 bonus points
4th book - 4 bonus points
5th+ book - 5 bonus points
So if you read the 7th, 13th, or 22nd etc. book in a series you will get a max of 5 bonus points per book.
You will also get 5 bonus points if during the challenge you read an entire completed series (meaning all the books are out and published, not a series that has other planned books coming out in the future) In order to receive these bonus points you will need to include in your book post for the final book, the comment numbers to the first books that you’ve already posted to your team’s review thread. ** I will not be keeping track of the series every member reads, if you would like these extra bonus points you will need to remember to post the comment numbers for all your books **
Page Points<50 pages = .25 points
51 - 99 pages = .5 points
^^^ these books will only count for page points
100 - 149 pages = 1 point
150 - 249 pages = 2 points
250 - 349 pages = 3 points
350 - 449 pages = 4 points
450 - 549 pages = 5 points
550 - 649 pages = 6 points
650 - 749 pages = 7 points
750 - 849 pages = 8 points
850 - 949 pages = 9 points
950+ = 10 points
Buddy Reads will DOUBLE your points.
BOTM will TRIPLE your points.
When posting reviews to the review thread, please post them like the following:Bookcover
Review: Link
Pages: #
BR: Link (if applicable)
Number of the book in the series or Standalone
Link to mod’s favorite list of the page that the book is on and/or comment numbers of other books
The general challenge rules can be found here.

Please comment here to sign up, when signing up please let me know how many books you plan to read for each of the months that the challenge goes for. Don’t forget any holidays/birthdays you may celebrate during the course of the challenge! :)

Example:
July - 20 books
August - 15 books
September - 15 books

So recently we’ve been playing a lot of in depth board/video game inspired challenges for the Team Quarterly. And we’ll go back to that, but for this summer’s Team Quarterly challenge we’re going old school and having another go at our Series Challenge! Woot! I know you all love this challenge! :D This is a super easy challenge and that’s exactly how I want it to be this summer for everyone since I know people have a lot going on in the summer months.
This challenge will start at midnight on July 1st and end at 11:59pm on September 30th. Winners will be announced on October 1st.
