OK, so it's not the book with the most ratings, rather the first edition posted. Got it. And corrected the page count on my last book posted.

This is on the SS info page - "For the page count, use the most rated edition on GR. If you post a review using the wrong page count we will not tell you what the correct number is. We will just use it and update your score that way."

When I look at the various editions of a book the # of ratings at the top is the same for all editions. So what is this statement referring to? Am I looking at the wrong info?

The 2 Purser books are banked books from this round that I had to read for other challenges. The L-Leopard King and 2 W books are on my list to read this week for sure. After those I will see what letters remain.

Game 1: Round 2 - The Steps of Knowledge
Task: A - Adolphe Monticelli: Title starts with A

I have a banked book that has an L for series title - Lois Meade Mystery and another Theft on Thursday can go for O since any title word counts. Both books are 288 pages. That leaves me with 5 days of new reading. Can the spell out be done more than once? If so, I'll have time for more letters.

I'm not sure what's involved in doing BRs. How do they work? Can anyone put up a book? What if no one else comments? Is it still a BR?

I did put comments up on another site for an established BR long ago, is this the same? What if none of the books on the Nov list are on my shelves. I'm not planning on buying books for a challenge unless cheap.

So how is it possible to glean points for BR in this challenge?

We still get page points for any answer though, right?
