Hi everyone, Welcome to our new announcements page where the mods will update you on the fun book club things we are doing every month/any other things we want to let you guys know :)
First things first, only a few hours left before sign ups are closed for the Feb/March readathon! Please let us know if you want to join so we can add you in ASAP.
Secondly, we are no longer holding Moderator's BOTM discussions. Instead we will only be doing Member's BOTM discussions moving forward. Keep your eyes peeled for polls from us. There's one live now for the February BOTM so if you haven't voted on it, please do so.
I think that's it from me but make sure to check back on this page often because we will most likely use the announcements folder from now on. Teams will also be revealed in a few hours and from there the readathon will be up and running.

There are 8 prompts within one prompt category. If you enter your book without a prompt then you can't get the bonus points for it from the prompts. Also, you can only use a prompt once otherwise the prompt points for the second entry with that prompt won't be counted!
The books for the readathon can be as long as you like. You earn more points anyway the longer the book is. We strongly encourage you to read YA books though since this is a YA book club. Only books finished in February and March will count. If you started the book in January but finished it in February that's completely valid too. You can earn points for the team through page points and other factors listed below.
PAGE POINTS
1-99 pages = 1 Point
100-199 pages = 2 Points
200-299 pages = 3 Points
300-399 pages = 4 Points
400-499 pages = 5 Points
500-599 pages = 6 Points
600-699 pages = 7 Points
700+ pages = 8 Points
EXTRA POINTS
BOTM (From Between the Pages Book Club) = 5 Points
Reviews = 5 Points (Reviews must be longer than 2 sentences)
Completed Prompt = 2 Points
Completed Prompt Category = 14 Points
Buddy Read = 5 Points
Sign ups close on the 31st of January so be quick! Comment your name down below if you're interested and we will group you into a team :) We really hope you will get involved and have fun!
