Hi Kathy! The review points are supposed to be bonus points that get added to the initial point(s) from reading a book. Sorry, but review points can not be awarded without points from a book.
As Sonsoles suggested, you might be able to add the book to Goodreads and still get points for the book and your review before the month is over.

The most popular edition of East of Eden has 601 pages and so it can not be nominated in this category. I've removed it from the tracker, sorry to everyone who seconded and thank you for bringing it to my attention!
We are going into a new year and would love to hear your feedback! Whether you are giving feedback on the challenges we've had or what things you would like to see done in the future, your opinions are important to us and how the challenges are run in 2021!Challenges we had in 2020:
> Relay Reading Race
> Around the World in Books Challenge
> TBR Revival Challenge
> BINGO Challenge
> Reading Week
> House Cup Challenge
Things to consider adding to your feedback:
1. What Challenges did you participate in, and would you participate in these challenges again?
2. Are there other ideas or challenges we should consider trying?
3. Are there any challenges you think should be retired, rotated out/in, or revamped?
4. We changed some challenges at the beginning of the year. Did you like the changes or would you like to see the challenges go back to what they were?
5. Are there any previous challenges we did not do this year that you would like to see return?
This is supposed to be a discussion for general challenge feedback, but we can discuss specifics here as well. In a group this large we try to listen to what the majority of our members want, so be sure to voice your opinions! Just remember to be respectful of others opinions too!
Thank you!
