Q - Can I read books which aren't part of a series or is that not allowed?
A - You can read books which aren't part of a series, you just won't earn any bonus points for series position ☺
Q - Is a #3.5 novella counted as a third in series?
A - We usually count the books that aren't whole numbers as the same as number 1, so #3.5 would be 2 points for a YA/adult book x
Team please can I be with Leah when she joins xx
