Yes, it still counts ☺

Tayane Cristie (taycristie) Can I get half point for books I haven't finished last month? I've read only a few pages of them.

A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle, #1) by Libba Bray read 45 out of 403 pages
Openly Straight (Openly Straight, #1) by Bill Konigsberg read 38 out of 320 pages
Finders Keepers (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #2) by Stephen King read 102 out of 448 pages

You can have half points for the first two, but you've read a bit too much for the 3rd one (finders keepers) to count really.

Eunice | 329 comments Would a BR count if its planned date was in the last few days of October, but I just started it today? It's a series BR.

That would count as a prequel, so it would be worth 1 point ☺

Which series is it? They should count for 0.5 points each if they are 50-100 pages ☺


message 217: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
Which books are they, and how many pages have you read?


message 218: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
Okay, you've not read that much of them so you can count them for 0.5 points each ☺

Ok, thanks. It's more than one series by different authors. Just wanted to know how many points I'd get if I read the whole series. I don't think I'll bother looking for the other books since they're all worth the same.


message 220: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm in! Sorry I have been so inactive, I started a bunch of advanced classes for school back in august and its a constant struggle to stay caught up. But I think I've to the hang of it for now so, super excited to start up my goodreads again!


message 221: by Daniela (new)

Daniela Zekotic | 81 comments Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2 by J.K. Rowling

just because I started reading this. Would it count? I mean it's a screenplay and they do say it's part 8 but I'm not sure if it really counts to the series.

Just wanted to check


message 222: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
It's listed as Harry Potter #8 on goodreads, so its fine ☺

message 226: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
Daylighters is okay, but the ragged heiress is not part of a series, so wouldn't count.

message 239: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Would Surviving Gretchen by Bonnie Daly count as a first book? It's not put into a series, but both the description and book cover say it's book one of the storms of friendship series :)

Rachmi  | 4882 comments Sarah/Abbie, if I don't finish the book, let's say at 20&, can I still count it for the challenge or not? If it cannot, I won't post my review in the review thread :)


message 247: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
20% would be too little for us to be able to count it unfortunately ☹


message 248: by Rachmi (new)

Rachmi  | 4882 comments That's okay, Sarah. I won't post my review then. If my buddy reading partner show up, I might continue it though. But for now, I'm done with it :D
