[Christine]

Hello! I know it's late but I'm wondering if I could still sign up. I read about 4-5 books a month depending on how busy I am.

@Sarah: I have a question. I'm thinking of reading the series of Warrior Cats. It's not categorized as YA and not as children's book, so how many points will 1 book be? And I don't think it's middle grade too.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Is it the series starting with this book?

[Saar The Book owl]

Yes, I've read the first one a while ago.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Looking at them, they're all tagged as YA higher than anything else, so they'd all be 1 point per 100 pages ☺

Thanks, Sarah, where did you found the tags? Maybe I'm overlooking it.
I have read the first one, do I need to re -read it or can I continue with the series?

The tags are on the right hand side. They are the 'genres'

[Saar The Book owl]

Found it! Thanks :)

You don't need to start from book 1 again, you can start from wherever you are up to ☺

If I started a book before this month that wasn't a book from a series, can I still use it for page points? Or does it still have to be in a series? ;u;

yey! I'm not too late. Thank you

[Darlene]

I would like to join if its not too late. My average books per month varies based on life schedules. I am usually able to read and review at least a couple of books each months though.

[✨Skye✨]

Could I use The Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge? The author says on her website she's doing a sequel but there's not one officially planned yet because this one is an arc not out til January.

Hi Natalie, I'm afraid that all books used in this challenge have to be part of a series, so even if you started a standalone before November, you wouldn't be able to claim page points in this challenge ☹

Can you link me to where she says that she's writing a sequel? I can't find it x

[✨Skye✨]

Under 'what are you working on next' on this page: https://rachelburgewriter.co.uk/qa/ :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thank you ☺ I'll discuss it with Abbie and get back to you ☺

Oh no, really? ;u; That sucks. Was worth a shot I guess 8'D

[Mona]

Can I use those as a series

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Skye, I'm afraid we're not going to be able to accept The Twisted Tree as part of a series. The author says that she's got some ideas, but not that she currently writing it or anything, so it's not really concrete enough ☹

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, that's fine ☺

Very close today!

Do prequels work for this challenge?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, prequels are fine ☺ You get 1 point for series position for any book which is listed as 0.5/0.6/2.5 etc, unless it is under 100 pages long, in which case you get 0.5 points ☺

[Heather]

Do you still count ebook editions if it’s 600 pages?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Heather, we count ebook editions, but we don't count ibook/iphone editions, audiobook editions, or editions where the page count is more than double the next highest ☺

[Heather]

Thanks Sarah! I remember y’all said some ebook editions didn’t count but couldn’t remember which ones!
