The idea is to rescue all those books you've abandoned. Completing a book that you have previously started reading but that has lain unread by you for at least one month earns you one point if you list it in the "unprompted" discussion thread OR two points if you list it in one (and only one) of the "prompt" discussion threads. - You are encouraged but not required to link to your book rating/review, but you must clearly indicate that you have completed it and are claiming your point(s). - For the sake of my sanity, you will not be allowed to move a book to another thread once you have claimed its point(s). - You may complete each prompt only once. If you rescue another qualifying book for a prompt, it will need to be posted in the "unprompted" thread, where it will count for only one point instead of two points. - Participation and points are determined by discussion activity, not by the challenge tracker feature, which is completely optional. I'm using the shelf named book-rescue-2018 to track mine, but you can name your tracking shelf whatever you want.
If you are uncertain if a book qualifies for a prompt, or if you'd like a prompt to be tweaked a little, ask in the discussion thread. That way I can, if need be, make the official clarification or change available to all participants.
Each participant who matches or beats my score at the end of the challenge also earns a bonus point.
Each point earned is an entry into a prize drawing at the end of the year.
