Hi Angela, I'm showing that the August 97 one has 272 pages and the September 99 has the 264 pages. Do you know which one you read? I just want to make sure I record it under the correct month and page amount.
Thanks!

Hi Jennifer. Which version did you read? I'm showing the hardcover as being published in 2011. I want to make sure I record everything correctly. :)
Jennifer wrote: "Quick question, do nonfiction books count too?"I don't see why not. As long as it falls under Young Adult.

Sorry, I read the hardback version, but I thought we were counting the first publication date. Should it be the first date or the date of the one we read? Thanks!

Hi, I am not entirely sure, because I read the kindle version, and looking at it now I have no idea which version I checked to get the pagenumber. I think you're probably absolutely right. I'll change it now. Thanks.

2. This Challenge is just for fun, so make sure you enjoy yourself and all the books you will be reading!
3. All books must be classified as Young Adult or Juvenile Fiction. If you local library classifies the book you chose as juvenile-young adult, then the book may be included.
4. All books must be at least 100 pages long to count for any of the tasks.
5. Re-reads are NOT allowed unless it falls into one of the following categories: it is a book you never finished, it is a book you didn't like but want to give another chance. The goal is to try new things, not reread old ones, but if you think it fits or feel it's reasonable, it probably is; just ask. :)
6. Audio books and electronic books (unabridged), such as Kindle, all count for this Challenge. Page counts will be according to the Goodreads page count.
7. When reporting completion of tasks, please link the title and author if possible. Also include the number of pages for the first edition listed on Goodreads (as was done in the first challenge). The point-count Leaderboard will be updated as often as I am able or as necessary. The leaderboard will list participants in alphabetical order. I will "bold" both the point leader and the page leader. If you find discrepancies in the point totals, please notify me. If you change a book to a different task, please notify me.
Hyperlinking the books through the "add book/author" feature is greatly appreciated.
