You can base that on your own personal opinion, but I'd probably say around 3 stars-ish or lower

Can you use the same prompt for different books?
Tessa wrote: "Can you use the same prompt for different books?"
Hmm that's a good question -do you mean if you complete one prompt more than once (like for prompt 1 you read 3 different books for that prompt?)

Ok so I checked and we decided that you can complete more than one book for each prompt. I'm going to add that to the rules and instructions. This way we won't have as many people tied for first place ;) - so yes to your question

I looked into it a little bit and from what I saw Aaron Warner was the villain, not Juliette. If you see anything that shows that Juliette is the villain let me know and I will change what prompt this was used for.

Of course! I really liked it!
Does the book have to be from a villain's perspective, or can it be about the villain?
Tessa wrote: "Does the book have to be from a villain's perspective, or can it be about the villain?"
Hmm...since the prompt says from the perspective of the villain, try to get as close to that as you can. If the main character is the villain then I'd say this would work too even if it is not specifically from their perspective.

Actually, the main characters are the kids of the villain... so maybe not
Natalie wrote: "Hmm...since the prompt says from the perspective of the villain, try to get as close to that as you can."What about retellings that are from the villain's POV but because it's a retelling it makes the villain be more of a "good guy" because they're the protagonist? Would that count"

Also, sorry for the spam, but would reading books that I read like 3 years ago and pretty much have forgotten about but I want to reread the series count or do the books need to be strictly "never been read before?"

Sure! You can use those. As long as its been more than like 6 months or so since the first read, you can do rereads.
