So the books I've been reading wouldn't count, huh.. Only after I signed up..
@Sedat: sign up for challenges till you get a team. ;)

Fun is searching for the right books for those categories. 😊
@Sedat - The book cover challenge is also great. You can improvise over there and add extra covers to make it more fun. :)

If you had just started right before the challenge, I think that's fine, but if you were like chapters away from being finished when you signed up, it doesn't count. We put the rule in place to stop people from reading a whole bunch of books and then just finishing them all as soon as the challenge started to get a ton of points at the beginning.

okay. understood. Thanks..!! If I've finished less than 10% in a book it should be fine ? If not, I wouldn't mind rereading the 10% so that I can consider it for the challenge..!!!

When you get to 100, you don't need to write everything out again. Just let us know here that you got to 100 :)

Or we'll have double the Angela power and skyrocket to first place!

As this is a team challenge, it's 100% dependent on routine participation. New signups require a minimum of 100 group comments to be considered and every participant will have to check in with their team leader periodically to maintain their place on the team. This part is important -> The 100 comment rule is a base we use to evaluate whether or not someone will be added to a team. Generally, it takes several weeks engaging participation to meet this minimum comment count. If you join the group and try to spam comments just to meet the minimum, your application to join the challenge might pend long enough for us to see you're going to stick around and interact long-term.

We switched that near the beginning of the year after the initial signup."I know it's no longer 25 comments I just copied the signup questions from the first post, sorry if that was wrong! I do have more than 100 comments, otherwise I would not have signed up.
