How it works:
Each month you will be given 7 Listopia lists to pick at least one book to read that month. You can choose books from different lists if you decide to read more than one book. Or you can read several books from the same list. The first link will always be the main Listopia page.

Choosing from the main Listopia page:
You can pick any list that shows up on the main Listopia page. The categories are: Featured Lists, Lists with Recent Activity, Lists My Friends Have Voted On, Popular Lists.

You cannot click on a 'more' button, which would have you leave the main Listopia page. You have to choose a list that is currently on that page. (Be aware that the lists on the main page change regularly.)

Your goal is to reach 1 million points by the end of the year.

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 78 comments How to Score Your Book:
the book's # on the list x the # of people who voted for that book

Examples:
Charlotte's Web is #20 on the "Books That Everyone Should Read At Least Once" list. 6,179 people voted for it. The score is 20 x 6,179 = 123,580 points.

Boost Score by Voting:
If your score is under 10,000, you can boost it by voting for and/or adding books to
that list.

Example: Violence was #142 on the "July 2020 Most-Anticipated Romances" list.
6 people voted for it. The score is 142 x 6 = 852 points. You vote for or add 21 books to that list. 852 x 21 = 17,892. Your new score is 17,892 points.

Average score per book to reach 1 million in twelve months:
1 book a month - 83,400
2 books a month - 41,700
3 books a month - 27, 800
4 books a month - 20,900
5 books a month - 16,700
