Q & A:
Q-It has to be a series right?
Yes. Books must be a part of a series. Novellas, graphic novels, new #1 of a series, etc all count though. You can read 1 book for 50 different series' or binge a single series, whatever works for you
I'm actually going to participate in this one!
Mod
I hope and assume this means you are joining. :)

Mod
for having a movie/tv tie in? It's a fictional version of what happened to Lauren Conrad when she was on Laguna Beach"I would say that if it is more about the actress's real life, behind the scenes, then no. But if more than half the book basically is just like the show than I'll give it to you. I'll trust you on where that falls. :)
I'm rewatching Firefly. Watched it as a kid so I remember very little. It's on Hulu if you have it.

Aly, I don't see how these first 3 books in this post are part of a series, but if I know there are some series' goodreads does not acknowledge as such or authors don't have them set up that way yet, so if they are, let me know. :)

This challenge runs from October- December 2020.
Books must be finished between these months (start date does not matter). Books MUST be part of a series or universe (such as Star Wars, Forgotten Realms, etc)
Each series book will get you points as follows:
Regular points: 1 point for every 100 pages of the book. Books under 100 pages get 0.5 pts. So a book with 256 pages is 2 pts, a book with 998 pgs gets you 9 points. ibook editions, dual language editions, etc with page counts that far exceed the average can't count for that edition, but otherwise, you can have it count for any edition you want. If you have a question on this please ask here or message me.
*Easy Reader books: books get you half the regular points. The following would be an easy reader book:
Graphic novels including comics and mangas. Easy Reading books are for simple poetry, picture books, young child's chapter books, etc. Basically books that you can read 2x or faster than a standard novel, like books geared toward kids grade 4 or under. Middle grade/YA counts as a standard book. Please specify if your book is an easy reader!
