Added 😊 I know that used to be a rule in previous pageopoly challengs. Since we revamped this one with different series and volunteer for tributes, I decided to also switch up the bonus part. This time around it will be..

Extra Bonus Points:
*One point for every book read that fits the book or series in any space on the board. For example, if you read a book from the Divergent series, you will get a bonus point whether or not you are on that current space.
