Yes, when you finish it will go towards your November points.

Updated message #10 with my last points for October!

I can't believe it is already the end of the first month! Please have your October points logged by November 2nd to count towards the round robin. (You can still log books read in October after that, but they will only count towards the overall competition.)

Happy Halloween!

updated message #10

Only 10 books under 50 pages. Sorry Jasmin!

I started reading the Wizard of Oz books probably 10 years ago? They are full of a lot of interesting characters, but the plots are rarely fleshed out. I stopped reading them after #11 because Frank Baum himself had started loosing track of his characters and had two characters introduce themselves to each other despite having spent a good chunk of a previous book together 🫣 I might revisit them and try to finish the series because it is this year's theme though.

Fannie - I love Piranesi! It is weird, but so atmospheric it just pulls you in.

I'll be starting with The Bluest Eye on audio and because it is October and I love horror I am finally getting around to reading World War Z .

The challenge starts tomorrow, or in a few hours depending on where you live! What is everyone planning on reading first?

October - December's prompt is to read books with white covers. (or white on the cover if you are having a difficult time finding predominantly white covers)

Sorry for the late update!

I'll be joining Tin Man this year!

I'd like to announce that Chaela is officially the prefect for the Tin Man House!

Thank you everyone who volunteered! Chaela was the first to volunteer so I reached out to her first, but I love seeing that we have so many people willing to be involved!

Look out for your house threads going up the last week of September!

Julia - First, Welcome to the challenge I always love seeing new participants!

To answer your question, yes you may use re-reads for this challenge. Just keep in mind you can only log the same book once a month and anything you log can not be started prior to October 1st.

Jasmine - Yes if it has a page number it counts!

Lina - That is correct books can not be started before the first day of the challenge (10/1)
