Help Out My TBR! Read-a-Thon

[Rushali, Head Mod]

Challenge Runtime: March 7-June 7(Quarterly Challenge)

As the name suggests, in this Readathon each participant is going to help out each other in striking off books from their TBR. How will it be done?

This is an individual challenge.
➡️As a participant you will have to ask other participants to pick out a book for you to read, from your TBR. You will have to read that particular book suggested. There will be a separate thread for this purpose.
➡️ If you read a book under this challenge you score 5 points and the person who recommended the book scores 10 points.
➡️ If you include review you score additional 5 points. If you buddy read the book in this group you score additional 10 points.
➡️ If you read books above 400 pages, you score 5 points for every 50 pages read after 400, which means if you read a book with 450 pages you get 5 points extra.
➡️ It doesn't matter when you have added the book on your TBR, only that the book,when recommended should be on your TBR. This will be only verifiable when you recommend books in the thread, so no recommendations through PM would be considered under the challenge. Only the recommendations you make in the thread will be applicable.
➡️You can ask for specific type of recommendation, like a specific book color/genre/trope etc.
➡️There will be a separate thread, for posting entries and for recommendations. This thread is only for sign up.
➡️ There will be three winners with the highest number of points. There will be special titles for the winners which will only be revealed at the end of challenge.
➡️ You can join in any time during the runtime of the challenge. To join in, just put your name below and you'll be added!

Yeah of course! You can join anytime between March 7 to June 7
Only the thing is that if you join late, you might be able to read less books. That's the only drawback unfortunately 😅

[Rushali, Head Mod]

One thing I forgot to mention:-
Rereads are applicable.

Also just a suggestion, could you maybe add bonus pints if you write a review for the book? Though totally fine if you don’t. :)

It's already there, each review earns you extra 5 points and buddy read in this group gives you 10 points.

Hey everyone! So the important threads for this Readathon are up! You can check them out under this folder.
Now, since this challenge begins March 7th, you can start asking for recs in the recommendation request board, so that you don't lose time.
Also, there's one slight change in rules, buddy reading won't earn you points since it's not possible for this Readathon.
I hope we all enjoy!

Would the books chosen be from my TBR shelf here on Goodreads, or can I use the TBR cart at my house? There are different books on each.

Well, it is chosen from Tbr shelf but the ones on your cart can't go to that shelf? If not, what you can do is list out those books in recommendation request board thread and then others can recommend you from that pile.
