[Ashley W]

I have a question. I'm currently reading through the Percy Jackson series. I want to read the graphic novels as I go. Would they count since they are different books but the same stories? Thanks.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, we would count both. As they aren't combined as the same thing on Goodreads, then they wouldn't be counted as the same thing. As long as you've written separate reviews for each of course ☺

Hi Sarah, if you need someone to fill a team, I can join. Please let me know.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Sharon, I'm homeschooling at the moment so I can't look properly. Thank you though! I'll hopefully get back to you a bit later ☺

[Isabella]

Is it too late to join in as a solo reader?

[Dannii]

Hi mods,

I want to reread The Rage of Dragons this month but I only last read it in July. I know the usual rules indicate that it has to be eight months between rereads to count for points but is there any possibility of rereading the book this month, if I make extra updates as proof?

I assumed it wouldn't count so no worries if not, but thought I would shoot my shot and ask anyway. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi guys, we are on day 10 of the challenge, so from now on Mods will not be looking for higher page counts when doing scores, and we will not go back and change scores after they've been done either, so please remember to check for higher page counts when posting ☺
Thanks x

Hi Dannii, I'm sorry but we wouldn't be able to count it when it's only been just over 5 months x

I finished a book that's an ARC. When I went to check the amount of pages it had on Goodreads, there was nothing. What should I do?

Post the Amazon page count to the review page, and Sarah will be able to take it from there :)

Is it this one Carolyn? -
I haven't managed to find a page count anywhere, but the Audible version says it lasts 11 hours, which would be roughly 396 pages, does that sound about right?

Really close at the top today!

[Jamie]

Sarah, if we have a middle grade book at 272 pages, can we mixe that with a standard novella. I believe that middle grade pages translated to regular novels, would be 181 pages, so if we add a novella over 19 pages can we do that?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, that's fine ☺
