You still get the page point bonus for all books read in section one and two. What i mean by only getting one task point once all the books for a task are completed is that you only get one point for the task. You don't get a task point for every book read for that certain task. I hope that makes sense... I'm tired so my brain is kinda foggy. Lol

You pick which straight you're working towards and read those numbers.

Okay, so nothing counts in section 2 until the entire task is complete, and then we get 1 point for the task and (x) page points for the 2-5 books we read? That's what your reply means to me. :)

Aha! That makes so much sense. You're so clever! Again, thanks for explaining.

Thank you! I was thinking that's what you had intended but wanted to make sure.

Sorry, my reply wasn't clear then. You do get the page point right away when books are posted. Only the task point waits until all the books are posted. So let's say the large straight, once all five books have been posted the team then earns the point for completing a task...but the page points they got as they posted the books.

[Andrea]

Melanie, is that the same for the Chance, then? That each member gets page points as they post books but the Chance task point waits until all the books for it have been posted?

[Andrea]

So sorry we're so full of questions! :)

The chance is different, since one book completes it, but every team member can do it once. So with that one the team will get a task point each time it is completed.

[Andrea]

Awesome! Thanks!

Generally it's been 2-5 in the past, depending on how many sign up. Melanie may not know until she has the final numbers on the 18th.

Abigail, I'm so sorry i missed your question! I won't know the exact number of people in teams until signups close, but Hannah is right...typically between 2-5.

Great! Thank you! If it's around three do you mind paring me up with Andrea and Hannah?

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

I can try. :)

Thank you!

[Andrea]

Melanie, may we change my average to 4-8 books/month? It might even be north of that, but I'm not sure how busy I'm going to be with my two jobs in September.

Yay, a new challenge! Since I finally graduated last month, I will be able to participate. I read 6 - 10 books/month I'd say.

[Hannah]

I know! I'm impatient for this!

[Lanelle]

I am absolutely certain that time runs slower for people waiting for team challenges to begin :)

[Andrea]

I agree. I wish we could start now! :)

Thanks, Andrea & Melanie! Me too! I’ve been loving these challenges, their creativity, how they always get me to read more, and the community behind and within them! I’m so grateful for the book-loving friends I’ve made in these challenges. 😄

Andrea has become such a good friend of mine and I would love to be on her team. 🙂

[Hannah]

Welcome! Glad you're going to make it to this challenge also!

Aw, thanks, Monique. I also consider you a great friend. Been thinking about you lately. Hope all is well!

[Sarita]

Question: the books that count for this challenge, should we have started them on or after the challenge starts?

[Hannah]

Message #2 says they only count if started on or after August 20.

[Staci]

Thanks for clarifying. I started a 900 page novel yesterday that I hoped to use at some point.

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Sign-ups are closed! Teams will be up shortly :D

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Thanks, Hannah, for answering. :)

Yes, this challenge books need to be started on or after the challenge starts (20th).

I tried to keep teams as even as possible. Each team is around 45 books a month.

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Also, even though Team Jasmine is one member short they still will get the same number of chances (5) as the other teams with 5 members.

[Hannah]
