@Dia
I just want to add that you can do a prompt multiple times. If you have a few books that you read that fit under for example romance, you can put them for that prompt.

Do you want to be on a team or do the prompts solo?

LiteraryCryptid wrote: "Question, for the re-read prompt, do we have to write a completely new review, or just update our dates read for the review?"

You can add under the original review or at the beginning some thoughts after re-reading the bok OR you can make 3 updates while reading the book and commenting your thoughts while your read.

Hello, everyone, we are calling to tell you that the sign ups are finally up, sorry for this long wait. Faith is busy with school, however she still managed to plan our prompts for Winter Wars 👏👏

HOW TO JOIN
1. Reply to this thread with "I want to participate in a group" or "I want to participate by myself," and the number of books you read/listen to each year (this isn't to judge your reading habits but to attempt to create balanced teams).
2. The deadline to join a team is October 28th
3. Anyone can join Winter Wars as long as the competition lasts, but after October 28th all newcomers will be soloists.

RULES
✧ Members will be broken out into up to 3-5 separate teams (or go solo) before the start date (November 1st). You will work together to complete a series of tasks together and complete as many of them as you wish.
✧ Books must be read and reviewed from November 1st through December 31st. Any books or audiobooks started before November 1st or finished after December 31st will not count.
✧ If you read an Audiobook version of a book convert the hours to pages using this site: https://alamantus.itch.io/time-to-page or use the print equivalent on Goodreads.
✧ Graphic/Manga novels are accepted but will only count for half of the listed page count. They have to be on the Goodreads database.
✧ You must post at least 3 status updates OR a review. It doesn't have to be super detailed but try to not just say "this was good" for the book to count.
✧ For prompts: if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit, and it will not count.
✧ Minimum Lengths:
• Books: 150 pages
• Graphic Novels: 200 pages (halved=100 pages)
• Audiobooks: 150 pages (use GR print equivalent length)

POINT SYSTEM
+1 point for every book that has been read and reviewed that correlates with a category
+2 points for participating in a buddy read (must take place in the group)
+3 for one completed category
+4 points for reading/participating in a group read (must take place in the group)
+5 points for every 1,000 pages read
Note 1: Mods keep track of all points in a shared Google Sheets spread to keep everything as organized as possible.
Note 2: You must actively participate in a buddy or group read for the points to count. Lack of participation means no points! This means commenting your updates in the designated thread for that book.
