I'm sorry, but this is a YA Assignment at BPL and has a Lexile of 570. Task, but no styles.

I'm sorry Jayme. This has a Lexile of 570, not 800. Task, but no styles. If you want to move it to the higher scoring 20.1, let us know. That will leave you free to choose a different one for 10.1.

Deedee, the bad news is this doesn't qualify for 10.9 because both names have 5 letters. The good news is that it qualifies for 20.1 Lifetime, and we'll score it there instead.

I just checked the Lexile score for Days of Blood and Starlight and it says HL800L. It's the only listing. If it won't work than move it to 20.1

Yes I read Fangirl last season.

Okay, so is my original post for "Days of Blood and Starlight" okay?
Jayme(the ghost reader) wrote: "Okay, so is my original post for "Days of Blood and Starlight" okay?"I think you should assume it's OK unless you hear differently.
Okay, thanks Elizabeth, sorry about the confusion.

Sandra Martz does not have a piece in the book, she's just an editor, so my understanding is that it doesn't qualify for 10.9 or 20.1

It doesn't change your score, but Bester was born in 1913, so doesn't qualify for 20.1. However, this book was shelved as Fantasy 62 times, so you get the same combo points for 10.8. Just in case you keep such records.
