Monthly Challenge: April 2024

Welcome to our monthly Listopia Madness challenge. It is a relatively simple challenge. Every month you will get 3 listopia lists from me and 3 from the winners of the previous month. *Please note that if you do not respond in a reasonable amount of time that the 4th place person (and so on) will replace you until we get 3 lists.

How it works
📘You will read as many books as you want from as many of the lists provided as you want.
📘You will score each book using the point system provided below
📘You will keep a running tally of your total in your post (try to keep your books in one comment, if possible for easy tracking)
📘I will contact the 3 highest-scoring readers at the end of the month and they will each choose one listopia list to be included in the next month's challenge.

Challenge rules:
📘No poetry or cookbooks allowed.
📘Standard Rules Apply

Book Points


Graphic Novel Points
Page Count Limit: 100 (Actual page count)
Please use this formula to find your adjusted page count (for points):
#Pgs x 1/4 = Adjusted Page Count
❀If your adjusted page count is less than 100, you will get 0.5 points for the book. If it is 100 or higher see the page point chart above for points.

This is not shaping up to be my best month so far 😆

My egg hunt books are not playing nice with the lists :(

Greeting, Listopia faithful!

I'm sorry I bailed last month and haven't joined in this month. RL has been tricky for a bit, and I just had to let some things go.

I'm doing well with keeping up with one intese team challenge, so I'm going to join Book Games. I see that several of you are already signed up, so I hope I'll get to be on a team with a few of you. :)

I was wondering where you'd got to! Good to see you about again.

Book games should be fun. 😁

Whew - I had to update, I have behind in every aspect of life this month!

Ok, I think I have all my books logged!

I can relate, Ashley! I might get everything updated in a few days!

Don't forget to update your scores...

Is everyone updated? I see a few that have no books.

I am! 😁

Looks like you have a pretty good team there Tru!

But you may want to pop in at District 1 from time to time... 😉

I am updated.

Go ahead with the rankings, Donna. I'm out of town and having trouble updating. AND, I don't think I'm even in the top 10 this month! LOL

Impressive considering there are only 6 of us playing! 😂
