Hi all! Starting up the book-of-the-month suggestions for December 2021 in the BOOKSHELF CATCH-UP category. Top 4 will be selected for the poll.

For this category, you can nominate any book that the group has previously read. For a list of books that the group has previously read and discussed, please see the Bookshelf HERE.

Books featured as a group reread within the last twelve months are not eligible. See Message 2 below.

Only one nomination is allowed per person, per category. If you nominate more than one book only your first nomination will be added toward the tracking post. Please continue to second as many nominations that interest you!

Page numbers are now required for every nomination. To find out how many pages a book has; go to the book's page on Goodreads. look under the section titled "GET A COPY" and above the book's ISBN number.

Nominations end Midnight October 16.

Yes, if it is not sparsely worded/lots of pictures a book under 50 pages will count as 1 point.

With the BOTM reads we will use the most popular edition.

sorry I missed your question Samantha! if it is under 50 pages and sparsely worded it would be worth .5 point.

I enjoyed that too. Is that intentional or ju..."

That is exactly right Samantha!
I would love to see some reviews posted on this main thread though. They won't be worth extra points, but maybe they could spark some discussion and give everyone even more books to add to their To Read shelf!

October-Decembers theme will be to read books by authors you haven't read yet!

Thank you Cynthia for suggesting this theme!

If you are leading a house and have not recieved a message from me, please make sure you are accepting messages or send me a message about how you would like me to contact you about the challenge! Thanks!

Sorry I couldn't get a link to a quiz up this year!

I'll be joining Autumn as it is my favorite season, and I see some familiar names from Hufflepuff joining there!

We still need volunteers for the Spring and Summer houses if anyone is interested!

I've made a guide I will send out to the prefects this year. so hold off for now!

Cynthia wrote: "So the only changes between last year and this year are team themes and review points right?"

That is correct!

If you would like to volunteer to be a house prefect this year let us know which house you want to lead by posting below!

Use this thread throughout the challenge for general disscussion. if you have any questions post them here or message me, Betsy, or Renata.

There is only a few more weeks before the challenge starts. What house does everyone plan on joining?
