And maybe we should try expanding the group a bit by inviting in a few people. I'll do my part too :)
If you are interested in joining next month's challenge, leave a comment and I will send you a message a day before to ask you if you are still interested.
One of November's birthstones is the topaz, which symbolizes friendship. This is why the first challenge is to read a book that mainly focuses on friendship. (Can’t find a book about this topic? Try this list: https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/... )
Since November is the 11th month of the year the second challenge is to read a book that was published in 2011. (Can’t find a book about this topic? Try this list: https://www.goodreads.com/book/popula... )
The third Friday of November is International Stand Up to Bullying Day, so the third challenge I came up with is to read a book that involves bullying. I was not really sure if I should add this challenge because I feel like reading about a topic like this can be very personal, but some of my favourite books include bullying so I decided to add it anyway.

•Every challenge is worth 3 points.
•Every 100 pages adds another point to your total.
•It is not allowed to use the same book for more than one challenge.
•If you read a book that has ‘November’ in the title, you get a bonus point!
•At the end of the month, I am going to check everyone's scores and then there will be a winner!
Example:
If you read a 300-page book about bullying, you get 3+1+1+1=6 points.
Example:
If you read a 500-page book that isn’t compatible with any of this month’s topics, you get 1+1+1+1+1=5 points.
0-99 pages = 0 points
100-199 pages = 1 point
200-299 pages = 2 points
300-399 pages = 3 points
400-499 pages = 4 points
500-599 pages = 5 points
etc.
Please tell me if anything doesn't make sense, if you have any ideas or if you think something would be better with a change! I am not a pro at this, so every bit of help is very welcome! (I am not fluent in English; if you see a mistake, tell me!)
