hi !!!
i am a new GR and want to join too
i am inn

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Thank you for joining, everyone! You can start working on your lists, we will make you a thread soon. And if you have any questions, you can comment here or message one of the mods!

[Nicole]

I have one question.

Do we have to make reviews for every book that we read that counts towards this challenge?

[Navya]

Hi! Am new to GR but count me in!😊

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Hey Nicole! Writing a review isn't compulsory, but if you do, you'll get an extra 5 points on top of the page points and any other bonus points (like BR or BOTM) :))

[rania]

So if I start a book from my list in December but finish it in January will it still be counted?

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Everyone who has signed up till Gabriela has a thread now (if you don't have one and you signed up before her, or if you have duplicates or something like that, please let us know!). Everyone who has signed up after her will also be getting their threads soon, it's just that GR has a 3 threads at a time only rule (for some stupid reason 🙄) so I can't make more atm. Once another mod comes on, or I am able to make more, you'll get yours! Please don't worry, we'll make sure you all have your threads before 31st December :)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

And, Rania, yes!

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Everyone who has signed up should have a thread now :)

does rereading count?

[krista ☽✧]

oh by the way the list that i posted here isnt correct anymore because well the lord of the rings is on it and i dont want to read it anymore. Can i change the list that i posted on here once i post in to my thread? So that i post a different final one there ?

[krista ☽✧]

no :)

[LyraFirefly]

I don't know if you guys are aware, but there's also a way to create challenges where you can put in 50 books as your goal and make a shelf dedicated to the challenge. If you connect the shelf to the group challenge, each book you mark as read will be counted. If you can use it, I think it would be better for everyone.

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Hey, Krista! Delete the one you've posted on the tbr lists thread since you can't edit the post (it's not allowed) and then post your FINAL one by 31st on there! You can post on your personal thread as well, but it's compulsary to post on the tbr list thread first :))

[hogwartsnative (on major hiatus)]

Im in!

[krista ☽✧]

yes okay i will do that :)

[krista ☽✧]

the challange can be finished till the last day of april right? not the first

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Yep! Full four months :)

[[deleted user]]

So, I accidentally read and finished a book on my TBR before January. What should i do :o

[LyraFirefly]

I think you would delete the original list and repost it since you can't edit it, though you can fix the list until the New Year officially starts.

[[deleted user]]

Oh, ok! I'll do just that.

This is a really nice idea! We do know about it. I think we could do it. I'll ask the mods and let you know! :)

[LyraFirefly]

Great! :)

[Gabriela]

If we want to change our list we can still do it right ?

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Since it's 1st Jan, it would be preferred if you don't. But if it's still 2020 in your place, you have time :)

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Happy New Year everyone! This challenge officially commences. Till then, read and enjoy! 🥳🎉

[Johanna]

I hadn't time to post my list yesterday, can I still do it or do I have to leave this challenge?

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

You can still post it! :D

[krista ☽✧]

Happy new year❤️❤️❤️

[SofiaReads]

hi! a little late ( I’m not sure if I can still sign up) but if I can sign me up please

[krista ☽✧]

oh i have another question what means the x3 and x2 ? like howmany points can you write then...

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

If you have 5 points, you can multiply them. So basically if you have 5 points for a book you buddy read, you get twice the amount which means 10. And 15 (x3) for a BOTM :)

[krista ☽✧]

aaah okay ! and then for the total points you have on the rest our for the page count only that points ?

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Page points include your original points and the total is your page points+additional points like BOTM, BR, etc. :)
So yes :)

[krista ☽✧]

so page points + the rest and then
x 2 or x3 if it is a buddy read or a botm?

or only page points x 2 or x 3 if it is a buddy read or botm and then + the other additional points
i feel stupid lol

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

The first one but the second one is also correct :)

[Brooke]

Could I get a TBR thread as well?

[Johanna]

Aarja wrote: "The first one but the second one is also correct :)"

But both can't be correct? Because the first option means: page points + review points *2 (or *3) and the second one should be correct? That's page points *2 (or *3) + points for review

I think it would be nice to update also to standard rules because I was also really confused with this in the beginning :D There should be said (BR/BOTM) is 2*page points/3*page points. Then it would be easer to understand. Just a succestion :D :D

Oh, if that's what you mean, then the second one. And we will take that suggestion :)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Do re-reads count? Like, not as a part of the list, but otherwise?

[Natalie]

Aahana ♥ wrote: "Do re-reads count? Like, not as a part of the list, but otherwise?"

Yes. You can read other books outside of your list for page points. They just won't count for the 10 bonus points for 5 books :))

But make sure to comment of your review post that it is not a list book.

[Natalie]
