Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments 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. :(

You're welcome. o.0 Cram it all in? That doesn't sound like a great method to teach something. I hope there won't be any chemistry questions then.


message 305: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Yeah and there will be at least 5 questions on it. :(

Wow, good luck with those.


message 307: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments 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.

Sarah | 1726 comments 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. (:


message 310: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1726 comments Ok :D


message 311: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Good question! (:

message 313: by Miodrag ★❥ (new)

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments 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?


message 314: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments When reading with a tablet or ereader we generally go by the page count found for the kindle version of the book on Amazon.


message 315: by Miodrag ★❥ (new)

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments Thanks Mandiann for answering on my Q. I really can`t wait for readathon *excited*


message 316: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Yes! Thanks for helping out, Mandiann and glad to have you Miodrag!

Thank u

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments You're welcome!


message 321: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments 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. LOL

Would Flat-Out Matt (Flat-Out Love, #1.5) by Jessica Park be counted as a sequel?


message 322: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments That would be a 1.5 book which would count as 1 point plus points for page amount.


message 323: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Thank you. :)


message 324: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments You're welcome!


message 325: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments 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"?

Yeah, that's fine!

Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 1594 comments 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.


message 330: by Tayla (new)

Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 1594 comments well for the scavenger hunt and the amount of pages we read


message 331: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments What do you mean?


message 332: by [deleted user] (new)

What would you call this??? Divergent Official Illustrated Movie Companion by Kate Egan


message 333: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments 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.


message 334: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments 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!!!


message 335: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Glad you loved it!

It should look more like this:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) by J.K. Rowling
Finished on Day: 3
Pages: 309 (4 pt)
First in Series: (3 pt)
Total: 7 pt


message 336: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments 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!


message 337: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments 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 :)


message 338: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Oh no. Now I understand how that was misleading. I mean page count for the week. Not points for pages. Sorry. :(


message 339: by Mandiann (last edited Mar 26, 2014 05:54PM) (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments 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.


message 341: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments 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. LOL

I feel bad because I feel like I messed up the entire thread now. Sorry!


message 342: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments 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. (:


message 343: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Vicki, you can just delete the comments if you want.


message 344: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments You can track your page count in https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... thread.


message 345: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Thank you Jacque and Mandiann!


message 346: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments No problem!


message 347: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments 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!!! :)


message 348: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments 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?


message 350: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments It won't count. Sorry. :( lol!
