Yes if it is the 4th book of the series that is what you get points for it as. Unless otherwise specified (such as graphic novels). if you are reading a series that hits the double digits, there is a max to the bonus points but still say what book # yours is in the series.

Sharon Mariampillai | 10992 comments Hi team, my progress will be slow in November as I am recovering from eye issues. Hopefully, I will post some books this coming week as it is a holiday, but I wanted to let everyone know that I am reading. It will just take time for me to write and post the reviews because I cannot strain my eyes that much.

message 22: by As You Wish (new)

As You Wish | 1868 comments We're coming for you, Team Christmas! Way to go with all the books posted. :) If anyone wants to join me for Games Untold An Inheritance Games Collection by Jennifer Lynn Barnes I'm reading it tonight & tomorrow night on my lunch break. I always devour the Inheritance Games books. Although this is #4.5, which I think means it only counts as a 1 for series points. Let me know.

I feel you.
Yes, you can BUT:
It needs to be minimum page count or over
AND
You still need to fullfil the review/status update recruitment.
Also, you can only claim the pages you have read


message 28: by Abbie (new)

Abbie | 1357 comments I have read about 150iah pages may continue to torture myself

That's so tough! I hope little one and you get lots of good rest soon. Many nights I stayed up rocking my daughter, as she wouldn't sleep if I put her down, and had a light on and a book in my hand. (I had to wind down because I would get so upset over not being able to get her to sleep like my first.) It doesn't last forever, but right now I know it feels like it might.

I can BR any books you have on KU. Please let me know. Sorry, my eyes have been through a lot in November, so I am slowly getting back into reading. Been listening to audiobooks in November lol.

Abbie | 1357 comments https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

This whole series is being BR this week I think but they’re only like 70 pages each if anyone wants to join in on a festive series xx


message 45: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10992 comments I will join, I am getting the book right now!


message 46: by Kay-Mika (new)

Kay-Mika | 1812 comments Please remember to use the book with the HIGHEST page count.
For example , if the Russian version has more page counts, use the Russian version; if the Chinese version has the most pages, use the Chinese version.
Thank you


message 47: by Abbie (new)

Abbie | 1357 comments It makes me sad when people miss out on points for themselves especially if the books around 500 pages and there’s a 600+ version xx


message 48: by Abbie (new)

Abbie | 1357 comments The leader board is savage this time round I’ve got another book to post by the end of today hopefully but it’s only worth 14 points x


message 49: by As You Wish (new)

As You Wish | 1868 comments I have a few books I'm close to finishing! But not as much time to read with all the family stuff going on with the holidays. Thanks for the reminder about looking for highest page counts--we're really reading an astonishing number of books as a team. :) All the best to everyone, hope your travel is easy and remember to pack extra books.
