Got you both!

Happy new year everyone 🥳

Happy new year

Okay, I keep rereading the rules and they are just not making sense to me as I am massively sleep deprived can anyone please put it super simply for me

Checking in!

I also don't quite understand how the points work for scoring.

I just started and .

Both of these authors are new to me, but is it better to try reading new authors that other people on our team are also reading? (that's the part of the scoring I don't quite understand)

Happy New Year everyone!

If you read a book from an author new to you, you don't get bonus points. If 4 other members read a book from that same author, you then get bonus points.
There's a minimum of 5 members needed to earn bonus points. (10 bonus points per YA or adult book, 5 for other books.)
Or you yourself can read 5 books of the same new author and then you earn also bonus points.

If you've got any questions still or help needed, you can ask us :)

If you are the only one reading those 2 books and no one else, there won't be any bonus points.

If you, f.e., read a book of Stephen King and 4 others or yourself reads books of Stephen King, because he's an author you've never read before or the 4 other members haven't read before, then you can earn bonus points.

Thank you Saar!! Makes sense now! :)

You're welcome :)

Sorry I am having a moment, if I have read a book by an author new to me and she has a series (Redstone Bad Boys) will i get bonus points for each book in the series?

Yes, for each book in the series you get bonus points.

Hi everyone

I'm reading this and I thought this author was new to me but it seems like I read it back in 2021 but I can't remember anything about it

Hi Stormy, welcome and I got you checked in!

Hey guys I’m gonna be doing the housemaid series, if anyone has a Freida McFadden book in their TBR do it this month so we can make extra points!

Thought we didn't make extra points unless it the author was new to us or have I got that completely wrong

Correct, bonus points are only earned if the author is new to you.

Jenn wrote: "Correct, bonus points are only earned if the author is new to you."

Yeah cos I picked up a book thinking the author was new to me not knowing that I'd read it in 2021 so that won't count right even though I have no knowledge of this

Jenn wrote: "Correct, bonus points are only earned if the author is new to you."

So the author has to be new to all of us? I thought if one of us got them as a new author that would count..

No, the author has to be new to at least one member to count for bonus points. If someone read a book from an author that is not new to them, then no bonus points. If someone else is reading the same book, but has never read something by that author before, then it's new to that person and then there are bonus points.

Okay so let me see if I got it right… the author is new to me so if I read three books by her and 2 other members read 2 more books we get the bonus points or not?

Sorry to bother you..

Yes, if the author is also new for those 2 members, then you get the team bonus points. If it's only new to you, then you get individual bonus points.

You're not bothering me :)

Got it! Thanks!

You're welcome :)

Anybody want to read

Sorry my readings been slow so aiming for small books that I can easily get through with a baby that hates sleep

How do the bonus points work after 5 books do you get bonus points for every book read after 5?

Trying to decide on my next read as I’ve got both Ivy Starck and Darcy rose to 5

*Explenation to team bonus points:
for the first 5 books, it's 10 team bonus points in total. For every additional book it's 10 team bonus points extra.
