OK, thanks Trisha. I am doing the accounting for Adela and the green team again, so no worries.
Sign-ups are closed, however we have one spot free if you still want to sign up.
The challenge is ongoing, meaning you can include books read after the 1st of October, till those read on the 31st of October.
The keywords for this month's challenge are: Haunt, Around, Shadow, Grave, Murder, Deep
To earn points, read and review books as normal. Each book you read and review will earn points for your team. Points will be added if the title includes one or more of the keywords listed above.
This month we're trying something out, and the way it works is that if you have a preference for a member in your team, DM one/any of us Mods, and we'll try to get you on a team with them. (Credits to Monique for this amazing idea!)
***PLEASE NOTE***
◈ You may use different editions with different titles, but they must be made up of English letters (accents are okay).
◈ You may read any book for this challenge that meet the following requirements:
-For YA, NA, Adult, Non-Fiction books (no illustrations) book must have at least 50 pages.
- For Middle-Grade/Children books (no illustrations), the book must have at least 75 pages
- For Manga, Graphic Novels, Plays, Poetry, books written in verse, etc., the book must have at least 150 pages
- Books that are mainly illustrations are not allowed.
◈ Only books that are read in October can be used for this challenge.
◈ To claim your books after reading, you must rate and review the book. (Review doesn't have to be elaborate just a brief summary of how you enjoyed the book. This is to encourage other readers to discover new books.)
◈ If you have any questions about the eligibility of a certain book, just reach out to us and we can clarify any confusion you may have.

-50-99 pages = 1 point
-100-149 pages = 2 points
-150-199 pages = 3 points
-200-249 pages = 4 points
-250 - 299 pages = 5 points
-300 - 349 pages = 6 points

◈ Buddy reads will double the number of points you receive for your pages. Example: YA Book with 345 pages that were buddy read would be 12 points instead of 6
◈ 2 bonus points will be added for every keyword included in the title. For example, if I read a YA Book with 345 pages that had one keyword in it, I would receive 8 points instead of 6. If I read one with 2 keywords, I would receive 10 instead of 6, and so on.
◈ Mods will keep track of each team's points, Monique for Team Blue, Adela for Team Green, and Trisha (me) for Team Red.
Happy Reading
