Charley Girl wrote: "I'm in for a team please."Alaina will be able to add you. But just so you know, the quarterly challenges are always solo. If you want to be on a team join to April-May superhero challenge! :D
This sounds like my kinda challenge.I would love to participate 😊
You had me at SOLO :) I need a solo challenge for a change. Count me in please.
Count me in! I need to start finishing series instead of just finding new ones to read 😂

a lot of mine are re-reads because it's been FOREVER since I even looked at the series - but hey, I have a TBR for ages lol - and you're right! It's definitely made me push through and even make the list
Can novellas (under 100 pages) for a series count for pages?

Can I count Star Wars books as a generic series? Some are more standalones while others are broken down to specific series but looking at generally reading books off this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
Mod
let me ask the other mods about that so I can give you the correct answer.
Mod
It is tricky because Star Wars is in general considered a series (either legends [Pre Disney] or Disney Canon) but when you have 50+ (or there about) authors that contribute gets to be a jumbled mess that no single author can often take credit for. But characters/places, etc do overlap even by the different authors. I figured there is no official # order on most (so lots of vol 1/novella). I also found this off a paragraphs series link on on of them (not directly of listopia) https://www.goodreads.com/series/8992... as well if that changes it. Otherwise major drat since I have been really wanting to get back into the books. Thanks for checking though Alaina!
What about novellas in any series?Do they count?
Mod
Novellas count towards page points.

Our second quarterly challenge is a series reading challenge. All you have to do is read books that are part of a series! Easy, right? Comment to sign-up and with any questions about the challenge.
Rules
*Books must be read and reviewed from April 1st to June 30th.
*Books must be 100 pages to count (using the most rated edition on goodreads)
**Books read that are under 100 pages will count toward page counts
**Books that are DNFed can count toward pages. A review and/or status updates is still required
*Manga and graphic novels can be read and will count for ¼ of the listed page count--they will count toward pages only
*Five detailed status updates can be used in place of a review
*Buddy reads must take place within this group to count for bonus points
*You must make a minimum of five comments on a buddy read to earn points
Points
*Points for a book will be awarded based on the number the book is in the series. So book #3 in a series will earn three points.
*Max number of points for a book in a series is 7. So book #8 in a series would earn 7 points.
*Five points for every 1000 pages read.
*Manga/graphic novels count for ¼ of the listed page count.
*Five points for reading the group book of the month (each month the challenge runs) in addition to series points, if it is in a series.
*Buddy reads will double your points for that book. So a buddy read of The Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter #7), for example, will earn you 14 points.
