That’s right! The 11th Annual Goodreads Choice Awards has arrived!
To celebrate this year’s Choice Awards I’ve come up with a challenge...
What is the Goodreads Choice Awards? Read this: https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/1...

This is how the challenge will go:
The only books that count towards this challenge MUST BE NOMINATED UNDER THE CATEGORY OF MIDDLE GRADE AND CHILDREN’S BOOKS: https://www.goodreads.com/choiceaward...

There are 3 rounds in the Goodreads Choice Awards:
Opening Round - 5th November to 10th November

- If you start and finish reading an opening round nominee during the opening round you will get 3 points.
- If you start reading an opening round nominee during the opening round but finish reading it after the opening round you will get 2 points.
- If you start and finish reading an opening round nominee that is not nominated during the semifinal or final round you will get 1 point.
*11th November is not an official voting day but will be counted as the opening round for this challenge*

Semifinal Round - 12th November to 17th November
- If you start and finish a semifinal round nominee during the semifinal round you will get 6 points.
- If you start reading a semifinal round nominee during the seminal round but finish reading it after the semifinal round you will get 5 points.
- If you start and finish reading a semifinal round nominee that is not nominated during the final round you will get 4 points.
*18th November is not an official voting day but will be counted as the semifinal round for this challenge.

Final Round - 19th November to 2nd December
- If you start and finish reading a final round nominee during the final round you will get 8 points.
- If you start reading a final round nominee during the final round but finish reading it after the final round you will get 7 points.
*3rd December to 10th December are NOT part of the final round but books read during this time STILL COUNT towards the challenge

POINTS SPREADSHEET- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
This spreadsheet is view only, only I can edit it.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE POST A MESSAGE BELOW SAYING WHAT BOOK YOU READ, WHEN YOU STARTED AND WHEN YOU FINISHED SO I CAN ADD IT TO THE SPREADSHEET AND AWARD YOU THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF POINTS.

jessica (abookishjess) | 684 comments oooh this is awesome! and just to be sure, can we read more than one book per round?

Jessica: you can read as many books per round as you can!

Kostas: unfortunately, no. It has to be a book that is nominated under the MG and Children’s books category. No other books count.

Hopefully I'll get around to it! I just started The Strangers a couple of days ago and it's really interesting but I've slowed down because I have a deadline on Wednesday for which I have done nothing for😩😩

it would be nice if life would take a step back sometimes so we would have time to get some reading done😅
