Readerboard for the Winter 2020-21 Reading with Style Challenge!

(Please post your points for completed tasks in the Completed Tasks topic. This Readerboard folder shows the current point standings of the challenge participants who have posted points. It's generally updated every week or so.)

Note: Please post your points frequently. Players who post many completed tasks the last week of the challenge may not have all their points tallied for inclusion on the Readerboard.

Happy reading!

Yes please.

This list is now complete. Enjoy!

Please note the list for Winter 20/21 task 10.9 has been changed. Please make sure your chosen book is on the appropriate list.

The link for this task has been corrected to Ann's original request.

I'm looking forward to traveling the world again when the pandemic is controlled. Read a book with a MPG of "Travel".

Please post any questions or comments about task 20.8 in this thread.

To find ratings by other group members, search on the Bookshelf for your book title. Click on "View Group Reviews" on the results page. Only group members will be displayed there. Members do not have to be active members of the group.

Looking the other direction, to find a new title, would require a visit to specific member's bookshelves.

I have sent messages to our Mega-Finishers and top Not a Novel readers. If I overlooked you or your account is set to private, please feel free to reach out to me through private message or on this thread. Thanks.
