Okay, I'll have to look for that book. This is one of the lists that I looked at and said, "It would be cool to see if I can read every book on this list. Some of the books I've read multiple times, but I'd like to see if I can read them all! No set schedule, but it'll be fun to see what I can do this year.

Interesting list! I've read 24 so far...

I've read many of the classics on the Guardian list since I did this challenge with another group a few years ago, but it's no longer active.
There are some books I'm never planning to read, like Moby Dick.

LOL, Rosemarie, I don't know that I want to read Moby Dick. So I'm sure there are some that will remain unread. But I'm curious to see how many I can end up reading. Several are already on the list, but the next one that will likely be read is The Three Musketeers. I meant to start it earlier this month, but with my tutoring schedule becoming crazy, and my ARC list exploding, I probably won't start it until next month.

I belong to the Guardian 1000 books to read... on Goodreads. It’s a great list but I recognise that there are many titles I will never read and many I read a long time ago that I can barely remember. The BCC list is more realistic and I too have read at least 50 of them. I think I started Moby Dick a few times 😅. Maybe I’ll never finish that one. Although maybe it could be a fine one to read a chapter a day the way I am reading War and Peace at the moment. Could be a good buddy read??
I can’t believe how many titles you all get to each month. I realise how slow a reader I am. Your lists are so inspiring!

Penelope, these BBC/NPR lists are probably going to take me years to complete, assuming I do complete them. I'm not exactly looking forward to tackling Moby Dick, lol!

All participants will be sorted into randomly generated groups with the aim of reading the most out of all the teams. Sign ups close on the 31st of May so get in quick! The teams will be announced on the 1st of June.

The prompts are divided into 6 categories. By completing one of the prompts you will earn your group 2 points. Completing the whole prompt category would earn you 14 points.

*Note: Alien Equivalent can refer to a book where an alien race is referred to under another name (e.g, Syldrathi, Na'vi etc) but is still clear about the alien-ness or nature of the said race.

The prompts all are tailored to LGBTQ+ books. If the book you entered is not an LGBTQ+ book then you can't get points for it from the prompts. For example, if you entered your book with the prompt of "Imaginary World" but it's not an LGBTQ+ book then it won't earn the 2 points from completing the prompt. If it is an LGBTQ+ book that has an imaginary world then it would earn the 2 points. The same rules apply with all the prompts.

The books for the readathon can be as long as you like. You earn more points anyway the longer the book is. We strongly encourage you to read YA books though since this is a YA book club. Only books finished in June will count. If you started the book in May but finished it in June that's completely valid too. You can earn points for the team through page points and other factors listed below.

PAGE POINTS

1-99 pages = 1 Point
100-199 pages = 2 Points
200-299 pages = 3 Points
300-399 pages = 4 Points
400-499 pages = 5 Points
500-599 pages = 6 Points
600-699 pages = 7 Points
700+ pages = 8 Points

EXTRA POINTS

2 BOTM (From Between the Pages Book Club) = 10 Points
Reviews = 5 Points (Reviews must be longer than 2 sentences)
Completed Prompt = 2 Points
Completed Prompt Category = 14 Points
Buddy Read = 5 Points
