★ 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.
★ Individual bonus points will be awarded based on page count, the same as page points and buddy read points. So if you read a 300-page book that also matches a description, you will receive 6 page points and 6 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
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
