@Brandee: Yes but us Mods will keep all of the numbers even, so for example we wouldn't put 2 to one of the Ps and none to the other.

It would count, but I checked the buddy read thread and you haven't made any comments. To get the points you need to make at least 4 comments about the book, and reply to one of your buddy's comments.

If you want to do this then make a new comment on this thread to let us know that this is what you've done ☺

Saar, was it the illustrated edition that you read? Because if it was then I'll have to put the 91 pages on hold for you as that would be under the minimum for page points for illustrated books.

Jammin Jenny, is there a reason you're not claiming a letter for this one? Because you'll miss bonus points, and it will be one less letter for the team, and the book would count for H, or E, or Y, so unless there's another reason, it would be better for you to claim a letter.

Edit - I've counted it as a H for now x

Thanks. I didn't think it worked for any letters!!

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
Yes, you can take the letters from anywhere in the title/series name/author name, or worse case, any book can be used for Y, as you can use the Y from 'by' ☺
