Challenge Your Reading! discussion

Here's how the game is played: you read a book and then check here and see what points the book qualifies for. Then add them up and keep adding as you read more books. At the end of the month the person with the most points wins.


So here are the points:
Cupid- 3 points
Unhappily ever after(were the characters don't end up with the main love interest)-4 points
Aliens(theme read)-5 points
Fairy Tale Retellings (theme read)- 5 points
*If both themes are in one book- 16 points
In Africa- 6 points
In Asia- 2 points
In Australia- 4 points
Library book- 2 points
A book that you have owned longer then 2 months and not read before- 4 points
Valentine's Day (this holiday happens in the book)-2 points
Foxes- 3 points
Animal POV- 2 points
Male POV- 1 point
Books becoming Movies this month- 2 points

Now to add a little challenge to it these make you lose points(If you guys don't like this new twist let me know and we won't do it next time):
Love Triangle- -1 point
Fish (eating them/characters/pets/etc)- -1 point
Female POV- -1

Ha! By default I have an alien and a fairy tale retelling book I'm planning to read for February. Let the challenge begin!
I'm going to lose so much points with the amount of Female POV's I read ^__^

I'm going to as well, but that might push us to find book with more point worth or find male POV's to read.

Added one other way to get points from a book to the list, Books becoming Movies this month. Some ideas for that are Warm Bodies and Beautiful Creatures.

Unhappily ever after-4 points
A book that you have owned longer then 2 months and not read before- 4 points
= 8 points

Does it count if I was given this to review a long time ago? I downloaded it twice so it's been more than two months.

There is a boy and a girl POV so that balances out.

Reread, in some ways yes and in some ways no. Some parts where really well done and others needed expanded upon. Also he needs to work on romance.
