📚 Kickstart the Year with our new competitive yearly Challenge! 🎉

TBR Toppler
The TBR (To Be Read) Toppler Challenge is a fun and engaging way for book lovers to tackle their ever-growing TBR pile. The challenge is designed to motivate readers to make a dent in the books they've been meaning to read.

This challenge will start at midnight on January 1st, 2025, and end at 11:59 pm on December 31st, 2025. Winners will be announced January 2nd, 2026. When signing up, please let me know how many books you are planning to read on this challenge.

Rules:
The general challenge rules can be found here.

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 read points will double the page count.
*Reading and participating in the group book of the month will triple the page count

Books less than 100 pages can count for page points but will not count towards a category.

Graphic novels can be counted toward categories if they are at least 100 pages after dividing the most rated page count by 4. You can combine graphic novels to hit the page count minimum.
