I believe in the past we have treated that still as just 2, so the most you can get on any book is 3 points, 1 for title and 2 for author.

Too funny, I'm not sure we've had that problem before! lol! Go you! :D

I am interested in bringing on some assistant moderators, I am currently the only active one, and while maintaining this group has been manageable so far, I want to have some others involved to spread the job to keep things running smoothly.
Moderator duties consist of making sure things are running smoothly in the area you choose, monitoring new posts for content, just to make sure they follow group guidelines for a friendly all ages site, greeting new members as they post in the introduction site, setting up read-a-thon's if you choose that area. etc.
If you are active in the group and plan on being involved long term and are interested in being a moderator, please message me, and include which parts of the group you would be interested in helping with (read-a-thon's, sprints, pick-it-for-me, etc.)
Thanks!


I will announce our bonus point winner Friday 12/23 and they get to pick our Winter bonus word!

Not only are we counting the pages that we read, but there is also a bonus challenge this time. For every book that you read with a title starting with one of the letters in the bonus word give yourself 1 point, if the author's first or last name starts with a letter in the bonus word give yourself 2 points. The most you can have for any one book is 3 bonus points, 1 for title and 2 for author.
For example (if WINTER were our bonus word):
Nothing Lasts Forever by Sidney Sheldon = 1 point for title
OR
Fire in the Blood by Dale Ibitz = 2 bonus points for author last name
OR
Winter Swans by Danica Winters = 1 point for title, 2 points for author = 3 bonus points
Be sure to tally your pages and bonus points separately. The person with the most bonus points at the end of the challenge will get to choose the Winter related word for the next quarter.
To sign up simply start yourself a post to track what you've read during the read-a-thon. Edit your post throughout the read-a-thon to let everyone know which books you've read & your total number of pages.
Here is a a template for your post:
