The Star Collector Challenge - September 2023
Mod
This challenge is fairly easy - read and review books as normal, and bonus points will be awarded based on your chosen book's average star rating (1-5) at the time scores are counted. It will be the first number, before the dot that counts.
Eg:
4.12 = 4 stars
3.89 = 3 stars
2.27 = 2 stars
The higher the first number of the average rating, the more bonus points you will earn ☺

★ YA/Adult Books (without illustrations) - *1 point per 50 pages*
(view spoiler)
(Maximum of 12 points per book)
★ Middle-grade/children's books (without illustrations) - *1 point per 75 pages*
(view spoiler)
(maximum of 8 points per book)
★ Graphic novels/manga/poetry/plays/books written in verse/books which have some illustrations - *1 point per 150 pages*
(view spoiler)
(maximum of 4 points per book)
★ Buddy reads MATCH your points score for pages, so a 300-page book (6pts) + buddy read (6pts) = 12 points.
(view spoiler)
(Bonus points for buddy reads will only be given if the buddy read has taken place in this group.)
★ If books are long enough to count on their own (50/75/150 pages) they will be scored on their own.
If you read two novellas of 80 pages each, you will receive a 1 in the books read column as together they are over 100 pages, and 1 page point for each (2 points total), as each book is individually long enough to earn points. This applies to all types of points.
* Individual bonus points will be awarded based on the average star rating of the book read.
1.00-1.99=1 point
2.00-2.99=2 points
3.00-3.99=3 points
4.00-4.99=4 points
5.00 = 5 points
* If 2 books are added together to reach the minimum page count, the higher of the average star ratings can be used to claim bonus points.
Hermione bonus points can be earned on books over 600 pages long, because Hermione loves a big book, and we love Hermione ❤️
Over 600 pages unillustrated book = 12 points
Over 600 pages unillustrated childrens/middle-grade book = 8 points
Over 600 pages illustrated/poetry etc. = 4 points
★ Mods will keep track of each team's points, using the following system -
Team Name:
__________|_Books_|_Buddy_|__Page___|_Bonus_|_Hermi_|__Total
__________|_Read__|_Reads_|__Points_|_Points|_Points|
Name______|___0___|___0___|_____0___|___0___|___0___|_____0
Name______|___0___|___0___|_____0___|___0___|___0___|_____0
Name______|___0___|___0___|_____0___|___0___|___0___|_____0
Team______|___0___|___0___|_____0___|___0___|___0___|_____0
* Please note - we will be tracking how many books you have read, but you will not receive points for this column. You will receive a '1' for each book posted which reaches the minimum page count for that type of book

This challenge is all about the average rating of the books you read.
To complete this challenge, participants will be split into teams. Each team will read books of their own choice (which fit the challenge guidelines), and points will be awarded based on the length of the book, and whether you have buddy-read your book.
Bonus points can also be earned based on your book's average rating on Goodreads ☺
You may also choose to participate as a solo player ☺
