BTW, I wanted to read the 7.5 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle if you want to buddy ready later in the month.

Mod
We, the mods, realized that the point system was different on the team's SS than it was on our actually sign-up thread. So if possible, please change the page point system (on the first tab of the SS) to the following:
PAGE POINTS:
100 - 149 -> 1 pts
150 - 249 -> 2 pts
250 - 349 -> 3 pts
350 - 449 -> 4 pts
450 - 549 -> 5 pts
550+ -> 6 pts
Please and thank you!

For this challenge, we will be picking one overall winner to pick a book from the prize lists (chosen at random for fairness)! At the end of our Vacation Quarterly Challenge there will be one winner that wins a prize of getting to choose a book from bookdepository.com. They can pick any book up to $10. For this to happen, we will be combining the points from the two month Pageopoly challenge, this Disney challenge, and our Vacation Quarterly together to pick that winner.
