Dang, right when I thought we had a chance of pulling ahead of Aquaman they pulled ahead once again.

Question: I am buddy reading IT but I am doubting I will be able to finish. Can I get page points for what I read this month and more if I have to continue into next month? And how would that work being a BR? I am trying but it is soooo long and I don't want to hurt my team by not reading my 8 books due to this.

[Eesh]

As far as I know, you get page points and BR points for the amount you read this month.

[Maddie]

@Jamie: Yes you can get page + BR points for that you read this month, and the same for next month. Just type out a review (doesn't need to be linked, just type it on the page so you don't need to mark the book as finished) and then link the pages and BR thread as usual, just saying how many pages you read each month so we can apportion the points :)

Thanks! This tome was going to be the death of me otherwise. Hoping to get about 1/2 each month then.

[Maddie]

Sure, that's totally fine :)

Hi, I have a question about this rule: " If you are reading novellas which are less than 50 pages long, you may also add together the page counts of one or more novellas of less than 50 pages, to get to the minimum page count of 50 pages. Books must be posted at the same time. "

If I read a short story collection where all the stories are separate books in Goodreads, can I add them up and get points for the whole thing? Specifically, I'm talking about the Forward Collection (https://www.goodreads.com/series/2708...). All the books together have a total of 277 pages, but if I combine them to pairs that have 50+ pages each, I only get 4 pairs, which would be a point less. So I was wondering if I could get points for the overall page count or not :)

[Maddie]

If you read the whole book then yes you would just count the one combined edition :)

Jamie, I just want to point out that you will have to make 4 buddy read comments about the book in both this month AND next month to get buddy read points both times. If you make buddy read comments in September, but not in October, then you will only earn the buddy read points for September. You also have to write a new review if you finish in October with new details as well x

GridGirl, are these novellas actually available as one book? I can only find them available as individual novellas, and if they're not actually available to buy as one book with one ISBN, then we would only be able to count them as the individual novellas x

I don't think so, no :/
Would I even be able to get BR points for these? Some of them have less than 30 pages, so 4 updates seems like a bit much 😅

Not a problem. I figured that much. :)

You can get buddy read points the same as page points - by adding copies up reach the 50 page minimum. If you read two novellas to get to the 50 pages, then we would accept 2 buddy read comments for each of the two novellas, instead of 4 buddy read comments for each book x

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sorry I've been absent, I've not had internet today ☹ Will do what I can now x

[Courtney]

So can we add novellas and graphic novels togather to make 300 pages or do you perfer we keep graphic novels with graphic novels and novellas with novellas? I hope this all makes sense.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can add novellas and graphic novels together, as long as novellas are less than 50 pages long, and graphic novels are less than 150 pages long. That's points-wise. Books-read wise, you can add together novellas less than 100 pages long, and graphic novels less than 300 pages long, to get a 1 in the books read column. Does that help?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It doesn't really matter if you want to add novellas and graphic novels together as long as they meet the minimum page counts I just said ☺ You don't have to keep them seperate ☺

[Courtney]

I just wanted to make sure I could count it has a book if I counted a 200+ page graphic novel and a 98 page novella because I cant find anything else im interested in right now. Which is sounds like I can :) Thank you Sarah.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, that's fine, just let us know that that is what you're doing when you post ☺
