If a particular book is a reread for a particular participant, it is alright, but they will HAVE to read the book again along with their respective team. (we will ensure this)

If a team completes all 18 prompts together, then it will get bonus +20 points.

The team that completes the most prompts wins.


Now the individual prompts.

Individual prompts-

The individual prompts can be reused more than once , and you will get +5 each time it is completed, BUT you CANNOT read the same book twice for these prompts. You can reread books that you have read prior to the start of this challenge. (May 1st, 2021)

Once sign ups have closed, the results of which team you are in will be announced soon.


HOW TO LOG BOOKS?


There will be a universal log created for participants to log books.

Since books can be logged only after each and every member has read it, it MUST to be done in the way mentioned here, or it WILL NOT be counted. Please follow this, otherwise it will become difficult for us to manage.


Procedure to log books read as a team-


Book name- _____ (hyperlink)
Author-_________ (hyperlink)
Page count-______ (according to edition linked)
Prompt completed- ________
Team Name-_____ (that is given by us)
Team Members -________ (INCLDE SIGN UP NAMES AND GOODREADS USER ID’S OF ALL TEAM MEMBERS)
Total points-__________
Team thread- ______ (link)



Only ONE member from the ENTIRE team will log the book. A book logged more than once will not be considered.

We will be appointing a team leader , who will be responsible for the coordination of everything in their own team. Members who are mostly active in the group will be taken into consideration, but we may also choose at random.


The team leader will be expected to coordinate their team, as in: help in deciding which books to read, keep the conversations going, log the books and make this challenge as enjoyable as possible for their team etc. We mods will also be helping in this.


If a team leader fails to do the job, the group will get a -3 points.

In case you are chosen for team leader, and want to opt out of it, let us know. You can still take part in the challenge and not lead the team. A new team leader will be chosen in that case.

The purpose of this is to encourage member conversations, so we hope you take part in this. :)



Procedure to log individual books-

Participant sign up name- _______
Participant goodreads id- ______ (the one used while signing up)
Book read- ________ (hyperlink)
Author- __________ (hyperlink)
Page count- ________ (according to the edition linked)
Team name with a link to the thread- ________
Prompt completed- _________
Total points- __________



For a series, you will log all the books in the series in the same way, IN THE SAME COMMENT. Do not use two different comments for a series.


Now here is the point system, just to clear things up.


Point system


For each prompt completed as a team , you will get +15 points.

For each prompt completed individually , you will get +5 bonus points for your team.

If you complete all 18 prompts as a team , you will get +20 points.


The points for the page numbers are-

100- 200 pages or lower: +1
200-300 pages: +2
300-400 pages: +3
400-500 pages: +4
500-600 pages: +5
600-700 pages: +6

It will go on like this.

Only one book can be read at once by a team. You cannot read 2 books together at the same time.

There are no points for reviews or buddy reads this time, as it is a group activity.

Thank you! :)

Hello everyone!
I’m team leader for this challenge. If anyone else wants a chance at doing it, feel free to let me or any of the other mods know. :)

I was thinking we should start with books in the public domain, so everyone has access to them.

We could either start with no. 1 or no. 4.

It would be best if we could plan which books in advance so that way we’re ready when it starts. :)

Also, what’s everyone’s theme zone? Just to know when we’ll be online.

I live in India and my time zone is IST

Are you fine with starting Jane Eyre tom?

Here are my votes/suggestions:

1. Antique piece

- Tracking Classical Monsters in Popular Culture by Dr. Elizabeth Gloyn - super fun nonfiction exploring how classical monsters are used today

4. New Horizons
- I vote for The Secret History

13. Aspiring Artist
