Thanks, Mehsi! And our science teacher needs to teach us chemistry in two weeks. She said she has to cram it all in. We're most likely not going to get to everything and then there will be chemistry questions on the test that I don't know the answers to because they weren't taught. :(

I hope there won't be any chemistry questions then.
Yeah and there will be at least 5 questions on it. :(

Thanks, I think I will need it. :/ We have two weeks to go over all of chemistry and review what we have learned in the past 7 months. Whew.
Oh, and do books we start before the Read-A-Thon but finish during count?
Sarah wrote: "Oh, and do books we start before the Read-A-Thon but finish during count?"Only count the pages you read of it during the readathon. (:
Good question! (:
I have question(s), I see that new challenge, you can get points with how many pages your book have, now here is the problem, I don't know if anyone here is reading like this, but I mostly read books via tablet, and pages of book is different from "real" book. Can I participate, reading on tablet? and how book-pages are gonna count for me?
When reading with a tablet or ereader we generally go by the page count found for the kindle version of the book on Amazon.
Thanks Mandiann for answering on my Q. I really can`t wait for readathon *excited*
Yes! Thanks for helping out, Mandiann and glad to have you Miodrag!
Only YA/NA books count? or can we read anything?

You're welcome!
Jacquelyn, I am getting SO excited for this readathon, even though I won't be able to participate as much as I'd like this week...life gets in the way. LOLWould
be counted as a sequel?
That would be a 1.5 book which would count as 1 point plus points for page amount.
You're welcome!
Jacque, how do I mark the 1.5 book? It's not a sequel or a prequel. I know the point count but do I just put "1.5 novella"?

So there are 7 pages here and I dont have time to look through them. What should I do if I only read on kindles? I dont have any page numbers
Tayla wrote: "So there are 7 pages here and I dont have time to look through them. What should I do if I only read on kindles? I dont have any page numbers"Go to Amazon (we find this to be the most accurate website) and search the book and use the page amount that says.
well for the scavenger hunt and the amount of pages we read
What do you mean?
I actually have no idea.. I was thinking standalone but it could kind of count as a .5 book type of thing. Let's see what Gisbelle says.
Hey Jacque! :o) Would you please look at the Claim Your Points thread, message 54, and tell me if I did that correctly? I finished my FIRST EVER Harry Potter book!!! YAY!!! I LOVED IT!!!
Glad you loved it! It should look more like this:
Finished on Day: 3
Pages: 309 (4 pt)
First in Series: (3 pt)
Total: 7 pt
Oh, yes! Mandiann just reminded us that books had to have been started during the readathon to count toward points. :( Sorry! They can only count toward pages! :(Sorry and thanks, Mandiann!
Okay, I'm a little confused. Do I leave it as it is then except remove the points for the pages or just remove the whole thing? I thought when you said just count the pages that you meNt I got points for the pages but not the book itself. Sorry :)
Oh no. Now I understand how that was misleading. I mean page count for the week. Not points for pages. Sorry. :(
I think you remove it.I think it's not worth any points at all. Only books started and finished within the readathon can be claimed for points. I think it can only count toward your total page count for the readathon.
I really have no idea.....

You're right. What I said was misleading and Vicki thought the points she read during the readathon could count as points but as you said, I meant total page count for the week.
Jacquelyn, please look again and tell me if it's right or do I need to remove the entire thing? I'm not sure where/how to add the pages other than that. LOLI feel bad because I feel like I messed up the entire thread now. Sorry!
LOL! It's okay! I'll delete all of them. You need to remove the entire thing. I think this was partly my fault for not being totally clear on what I meant. (:
Vicki, you can just delete the comments if you want.
Looked at that link and now I feel like a total moron!!! Been SO stressed at work over last minute yearbook issues! I totally forgot about that thread! Thank you for the link. Gosh, I swear I don't know what I'd do without my GR friends!!! :)
Mandiann wrote: "Anytime, Vic!!!"You might be sorry you said that, Mandiann! LOL
Jacquelyn, may I count a word I found in Harry Potter for the scavenger hunt or will it now count?
It won't count. Sorry. :( lol!
