Themes: (All books read must fall into one of the following themes)
Since Halloween is in October, we decided to have a themed readathon. All books read must fall into one of the following themes/genres-
~Horror
~Thriller
~Set during/involve Halloween
~Supernatural (vampires, werewolves, witches, etc.)
~Ghost Story/Stories
~Set during Fall

Page Points:
~250-350 = 1 points
~351-450 = 2 points
~451-550 = 3 points
~551-650 = 4 points
~651-750 = 5 points
~751 or more = 6 points

Points Breakdown:
Each book read automatically gains you 1 point for your team. Depending on the number of pages the book has, you can gain extra points. For example, if you read a book with 555 pages, you gain 4 extra points. That would make 5 points total. Each challenge prompt completed per book gains 1 more extra point. So if you read a 555 page book and complete one challenge prompt for that book, you have 6 total points. Books between 150-249 pages do not gain you any extra page points.

Witches/Vampires is one of the book themes, not a challenge prompt. Since the book is 421 pages, that adds 2 points which keeps to total at 3, but I just wanted to let you know :)

Since none of the main genres listed on the gr page match any that are allowed in this challenge, and it doesn't seem to have Halloweeny stuff like witches or ghosts, I don't think I can count this.

Supernatural isn't one of the challenge prompts, it's the theme, so this is only 4 points

If you can confirm that it does indeed have a werewolf or witch or something, I can count it
