Hello everyone, and welcome to our third reading challenge! This challenge is, of course, optional, but as many past participants can attest, these reading challenges are a ton of fun! This time, we’re celebrating love, romance, and all things bookish! Whether you’re here for swoon-worthy love stories, heartwarming friendships, or even tales of revenge and heartbreak, this challenge is for you. 💕
Just like before, you can sign up for a team by commenting below. PLEASE read this message in full before entering the challenge!
🌹 START/END DATES 🌹
This challenge will run from February 1st to March 03th, 2025—yes, march because february is too short. You can start logging books as early as January 31st, and all books must be logged by midnight on March 03th to count for points.
💌 RULES 💌
📖 All books MUST be logged within the challenge period to count. You can start logging books a day before the official start (January 31st), but anything logged after March 03 will NOT be counted.
📖 The last day to sign up is February 5th. If you miss this date, you won’t be able to participate! If you try to log books without signing up, they won’t be counted.
📖 DNFs, comics/graphic novels, and stories under 100 pages do count. But you are NOT allowed to log writting or activity prompts along it, only pages and RAB prompts.
📖 Point system rules apply. If you write a personal review outside of logging your books, please link it so you get credit! Also, writing prompts and reviews MUST be at least 50 words for full points.
📖 Audiobooks DO count, but you must log the physical copy on Goodreads to receive full points.
