Isn't your first book actually a prequel/novella?

This is a pretty debatable one, because the Bane chronicles aren't actually full length novels, so they can't be counted as sequels and such. They are novellas. Since it's a questionable counting, maybe you could ask the moderators what they should be counted as?

It's a novella, yes, but not a prequel. It's 1.5, so it's still a sequel.

The Bane Chronicles is it's own series of short stories. They are all under one hundred pages but they are also a series to each other and of Magnus's life. I will wait for a moderator before I add any more and if they say to change them I will.

I knew all this and that is why I wasn't entirely sure on whether or not it counts. So we'll just leave it up to the moderators then.

I had a similar problem in another readathon which is why I'm pointing that out. I read a 2.5 and was told it didn't count, right at the end, taking my points down a little bit, so I'm just trying to give you fair warning so that you don't read a heap of novellas and expect them to make big points.
It may be a sequel, but its a novella too, which usually wins the debate, and it's sort of a prequel to the sequel.
Anyway, all I am trying to point out is that in my experience they are usually counted as novellas/prequels.
It's up to you, I'm just pointing it out because I happened to notice it, but if you want you can leave it up to the moderators.

I haven't seen a copy of Pushing the Limits with 60 pages. Most editions are around 400 pages. Perhaps this is a typo?
