[Madelyn]

Added and Edited :)

[Madelyn]

Teams are now posted! If anyone would still like to join, you may join up until the last week of the challenge.

Here are the teams: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Katherine]

Can I please join a fun team? Thanks in advance.

[Madelyn]

I added you to Team Blue☺

[Madelyn]

It has come to my attention I did not clarify this: All books for the challenge need to be read in between April 14-May 14. They cannot be books you are currently reading, then finish them during the challenge dates.

[Aishah]

I will take medium since fun has too many and serious is too serious..

[Madelyn]

I did some shifting around, and put you in Team Pink :)

-> That is a medium team

Two updates to be used from here on out...

1.) I will be posting the top (probably top 5) readers of the challenge just to give them a shoutout for being awesome readers :)

2.) If you read a book that is under 150 pages, check the other editions for a version that is over 150 pages. The edition does not want to be in the language you read it in :) This can also be helpful for people who read long books, and want to get the additional points. I would be able to check for people for different editions and revise the points towards the end of the challenge. It would be really helpful, though if from here on out, you would post the page numbers for the books as the HIGHEST AVAILABLE NUMBER.

Oh, and personal rankings are coming soon :)

[Madelyn]

This part will go on until the end of the challenge, so there would most likely be some shifting :)

Em do comics count as books?

[Madelyn]

Since comics have more pictures than words, I would say that comics would need to be at least 450 pages. It may not sound reasonable, but that would be the equivalent of about an 150 page book :)

450 words? Damn! I do not think there exists such a 'thick' comic book but thanks anyway. I was just worried that I was reading comic books and our team might lag behind just because of that :P

Actually, if you read comic books and ALL of the pages (so if you read 123 pages, 54, etc.) and they add up to 450 pages in total, you can write reviews for them and get two points since the absolute total is 450+ pages. Hopefully that makes sense and will work for you :)

How do we purchase a square?

[Madelyn]

In your next review, you can comment in the end if you would like to buy a square. Or, you can comment in your review link now. You are able to get a square if your team has at least $5.00 in their bank as commented in your review update. Hopefully that makes sense ☺
