Keep your November score here. I will mention that our score resets every month so some of us don't end up with tens of thousands, while others have zero :D no fun!

How we score:
50 points for finishing an ARC that was in topic
10 points for finishing any ARC
10 more points if the finished ARC was at least a year old
50 points for not requesting a single ARC for THE ENTIRE MONTH
10 points for not requesting anything for a week
5 points for posting an update on what your book is about in our discussion topics
5 points for sharing your review (link) with us of the theme book
5 points for starting a theme ARC (even if you won't finish it!)

I've finished one ARC already, but unfortunately, it wasn't a theme ARC. I get 10 points for finishing a random ARC. I didn't post any updates yet, so for now I stand at 10 points!

Yeah, lol, I was getting tired of checking the points back in October... when I was posting I didn't know it would get annoying. You don't always figure everything out with the first try :D so I'll just include the scoring system with every month's post now :)

Marta Pascual Perez (martapasperez) | 21 comments Hii!! I have fibished 2 ARCs; unfortunatelly non of them were on topic ☹. But at least ine ofnthem was wonderful. So 20 points for me 😊

Sheila G (pastthepostlude) Welp, I haven't done anything but watched Netflix the entire beginning of this month, so my reading has suffered. BUT it's kept me off Netgalley and Edelweiss from requesting more ARCs! :P So I guess I'm at 20 points for not requesting ARCs for 2 weeks in a row. I'm almost at one month straight for not requesting any new ARCs!

That's great Sheila! Meanwhile, I stand at a grand total of 60, but that's not all xD I have finally put all my ARCs into a spreadsheet, which makes it so much easier to track them. So, on the plus side, doing the monthly State of the ARC will now be easier, buuuut... I've also realized that I've done three States of the ARC already, but my current number of ARCs... hasn't diminished at all x.x although I keep reading them! But I also keep requesting... GAH

Marta Pascual Perez (martapasperez) | 21 comments I have finished another ARC by a Spanish publisher, but it was not on topic. So at the wnd I have 30 points.


Sam - Spines in a Line (spinesinaline) | 10 comments I'm at 30 points for not requesting any ARCs yet, let's hope I keep that up!!

Lauren (Northern Plunder) (northernplunder) Im at a big fat 0


message 14: by Sheila (new)

Sheila G (pastthepostlude) Well, I'm now at 70 points because I haven't requested an ARC in over a month! Yay! I actually don't see requesting ARCs in the near future because I'm feeling overwhelmed with what I already have! Good thing I didn't finish one single book this entire month, because THAT really knocks down the TBR piles---can you feel the sarcasm? Anyways...let's hope December is so verly muchly better than this month. *sobbing*

I don't even know how many points I have now xD I have finished three ARCs! But some are still waiting to be reviewed :D I hope the next theme is voted fantasy... I would love to finish some of my fantasy ARCs. But it's so amazing that you haven't requested anything for a while :0 I keep getting trumped by those Edelweiss newsletters every week :D

That's why I just delete those emails -- I KNOW they will otherwise trap me if I don't! I'm hoping fantasy is voted in too, seeing how they make up the majority of my ARCs. LET'S GET ALL OF THESE DONE! :P
