Our next Quarterly Challenge is going to be all about reading diverse books!
Rules *Books must be read from July 1 to September 30. *Books must be 100 pages to count *Graphic novels/manga/books in verse will count for pages only (1/4 of the listed page count) *Short stories will count for pages only *Books must fit the "diverse" category, but this is different for every person. Some examples of diversity are as follows: -A book set in a different country from you (or different culture) -A book written by an author from a different country -A genre minority main character -Books out of your comfort zone (a genre you wouldn't normally read, a longer/shorter book than you would normally pick up, a religious book by an author not of your faith, etc)
Points *1 Point for every book read and reviewed or with five status updates *1 point for every buddy read that takes place within our group for books under 500 pages *2 points for buddy reads of books over 500 pages *5 points for every 1000 pages *You must have at least five comments on a buddy thread to count
If you have questions about whether something will count as a diverse book, feel free to ask!
