Read books with increasing number of title words, from 1-10. The number of words will include any sub-title, excluding generic sub-titles such as A Novel, A Romance, Stories, etc as displayed on the MPE.
15.1 - one word title
15.2 - two word title
etc.
Books can be read in any order, but number of words in the title should be connected to the same numbered task. (e.g. 4-word title is 15.4, 9-word title is 15.9.) A Counting Game may be repeated as often as wished.
Scoring:
Each book scores 15 points.
Completion Bonuses:
100 for completing in numerical order
50 for completing in any order
Additional Bonuses:
100 for using a single gender
50 for using books published in a single century (xx01-xx00)
A Few Reminders:
I. You cannot claim regular style points for any book you read for A Counting Game (nor do the ACG tasks count as combo style points for Reading with Style's 10 and 20 point tasks).
II. All books read for this sub-challenge must be at least 100 pages, based on the most popular English-language print edition.
III. Please be aware that cookbooks, illustrated guides, and graphic novels are not allowed for the sub-challenge. Also, books designated as "YA", "Assignment", or "Juv" by the Brooklyn Public Library with a Lexile score less than 800 are not allowed.
