BOOK NERDS JANUARY TBR KNOCKOUT CHALLENGE



Goal: Complete as many books as possible

Rules:
1. No Cheating: Only log books you have marked "Want to Read" on the account you signed up with and completed within January
2. Have fun! This challenge isn't meant to "taunt" your reading in any way.

Instructions
Not to expose anyone, but book nerds; when was the last time you finished some books from you to be read list? What about those books you added a few years ago? Ever got to them? You most likely answered no so that is why this month we will be knocking some of those books off the shelves. Instead of set prompts, you will go through your "Want to Read" shelve on your account and choose books from there. Once completed, you will log them traditionally. As always, we will be following a page-count system.

Page-count Point System

0-99 pages: 0.5 points
100-199 pages: 1 point
200-299 pages: 2 points
