How was it?

[Bianca]

Okay, I have a really dumb question. I haven't done any of these challenges before, so I'm not sure how the scoring goes. So let's say the 3rd category that has 15 points, do you get 15 points after you finish both books in The Princess Bride or do you get 15 points per book, so The Princess Bride would be 30 points?

It was really good Alicia! I definitely recommend it. It's one of those that bring a few tears to your eyes at the end. :)

Not a dumb question at all! The 15 point tasks are 15 total for both books and the 25 are 25 total for all three books. But you have to complete all the books in the task to get any points, there are no "half" points. :) I hope that clears it up for you, if not, feel free to ask. :)

Yes, that makes perfect sense! That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure before I gave myself too many points. Hahaha. Thank you, Stacy!

At the beginning of the line you do <> with an s in the middle of the brackets, and then at the end you do the same thing but do /s in the middle. Hope that makes sense!
