while not required, if you would like to share your reading plan for the 10-point task, you may do so in this thread.
10.1-10.10 Page CountRead books of varying length written by different authors:
10.1 two or three short works adding up to 75-150 pages*
10.2 100-149 p
10.3 150-199p
10.4 200-249p
10.5 250-299p
10.6 300-349p
10.7 350-399p
10.8 400-449p
10.9 450-499p
10.10 500p or more
(*please see additional information/discussion regarding short stories in post 2 of the help thread.).
Remember that we will be using the MPE to determine page counts. However, page counts on GR can be corrected/edited, as quite often these come from a publishers estimate rather than actual page counts. You can lock in the displayed MPE page count for your plan by posting in advance. Additionally, if you suspect the displayed page count is in error, you are always welcome to post in the librarian help thread to have it corrected. Your moderators will not be checking your plans in advance of your posting for the task, but, should there be a discrepancy at time of posting, the librarian logs can confirm that your post for the task is valid.
Each book claimed for Page Count must be written by a different author.
Books may be read in any order, but the number of pages should be connected to the assigned task (i.e. 330 page book should be claimed as 10.6 and 212 page book claimed as 10.4, regardless of order read.)
Scoring:
10.1-10.10 10 points each
Completion Bonus: 100 points
Repeats
Page Count can be completed up to three times.
