Greetings one and all and welcome to the 2021 Reading Competition. As you can see, we have a huge group this year, already 13 people and counting! I really look forward to seeing all of the books that will be read this year by all of you. If you still want to join, its not too late!
As we grow this competition, the rules always shift and change, and this year is no different. Below are just the few ground rules for the competition: 1. You MUST be up-to-date on goodreads. Keeping track and contacting everyone about their monthly stats can be a little too much to handle, so we request that everyone keep their goodreads updated. It’s fairly simple, whenever you finish a book, just hop on good reads and log that you finished it. We don’t require you to rate the book if you don’t want to, nor do we expect you to write a review(although it would be wonderful if you did). All you need is to register when you read the book so that it will update your monthly stats. If you don’t keep your goodreads updated, you won’t be counted in our monthly stats. 2. Lots of different books count. Is it an audiobook? Is it an Ebook? Is it a physical copy? They all count. We simply encourage any type of reading possible. 3. All genres are welcome. Doesn’t matter what type of book it is, it counts. We even include Adult, YA, and Middle Grade books. However, we do not want anyone to make it a habit of reading short stories or short comics, as that would be unfair to everyone else. However, we will allow the occasional short story or comic, especially if it’s one of your favorites. 4. There will be threads in Goodreads every month for you to tell us about your favorite books you’ve read. If you keep that up to date, there’s a chance you’ll get mentioned in our monthly report. This will allow you to connect with others and find new favorite books. 5. Have fun. We realize that not everyone can read 100 books. That’s ok. We’re just happy that you’re here. If you only read 20 books, we are happy that you've read that much. The purpose of this is to get people to want to read more. We are so happy to have you all here, and if you haven’t joined yet, we’d love to have you join. If anyone has any questions, please contact myself or my co-moderator; Heather Smith.
