If a team completes all 18 prompts together, then it will get bonus +20 points.
The team that completes the most prompts wins.

The individual prompts can be reused more than once , and you will get +5 each time it is completed, BUT you CANNOT read the same book twice for these prompts. You can reread books that you have read prior to the start of this challenge. (May 1st, 2021)
Once sign ups have closed, the results of which team you are in will be announced soon.
HOW TO LOG BOOKS?
There will be a universal log created for participants to log books.
Since books can be logged only after each and every member has read it, it MUST to be done in the way mentioned here, or it WILL NOT be counted. Please follow this, otherwise it will become difficult for us to manage.
Procedure to log books read as a team-
Book name- _____ (hyperlink)
Author-_________ (hyperlink)
Page count-______ (according to edition linked)
Prompt completed- ________
Team Name-_____ (that is given by us)
Team Members -________ (INCLDE SIGN UP NAMES AND GOODREADS USER ID’S OF ALL TEAM MEMBERS)
Total points-__________
Team thread- ______ (link)
Only ONE member from the ENTIRE team will log the book. A book logged more than once will not be considered.
We will be appointing a team leader , who will be responsible for the coordination of everything in their own team. Members who are mostly active in the group will be taken into consideration, but we may also choose at random.
The team leader will be expected to coordinate their team, as in: help in deciding which books to read, keep the conversations going, log the books and make this challenge as enjoyable as possible for their team etc. We mods will also be helping in this.
If a team leader fails to do the job, the group will get a -3 points.
In case you are chosen for team leader, and want to opt out of it, let us know. You can still take part in the challenge and not lead the team. A new team leader will be chosen in that case.
The purpose of this is to encourage member conversations, so we hope you take part in this. :)
Procedure to log individual books-
Participant sign up name- _______
Participant goodreads id- ______ (the one used while signing up)
Book read- ________ (hyperlink)

Total points- __________
For a series, you will log all the books in the series in the same way, IN THE SAME COMMENT. Do not use two different comments for a series.
Now here is the point system, just to clear things up.
Point system
For each prompt completed as a team , you will get +15 points.
For each prompt completed individually , you will get +5 bonus points for your team.
If you complete all 18 prompts as a team , you will get +20 points.
The points for the page numbers are-
100- 200 pages or lower: +1
200-300 pages: +2
300-400 pages: +3
400-500 pages: +4
500-600 pages: +5
600-700 pages: +6
It will go on like this.
Only one book can be read at once by a team. You cannot read 2 books together at the same time.
There are no points for reviews or buddy reads this time, as it is a group activity.
Okay, so I'm currently the team leader and I put in a request to not be the team leader but I thought I'd start the conversation and planning and once we get a new team leader, someone could take over for me if that's okay. So I was thinking maybe list 5-10 popular books that you own and I'll look at everyone's lists and see if a book matches up on everyone's that could fit a prompt? Or maybe we could aim to complete the prompts with free eBooks that are on the Kindle/Amazon store so that everyone can get them for free? What are everyone's thoughts on how to approach this?
Yeah ig the free ebook idea is niceeEven i think we should plan the reading schedule
I have selected a few books for the challenge.. I have downloaded the ebooks for free and i can send the link if anyone wants... So yeah we all should give in our suggestions

My time zone is PST but I have a messed up sleep schedule so I’m awake until 2am every night
How many chapters or pages do you want to read per day?

So maybe in 3 days we can complete it
What do you all say?
Three days sound like a good time range to read it from. I’m from Illinois, so I’m central time.
So from tuesday we will start the second book...

The Louvre (France)
The Louvre, or the Louvre Museum (French: Musée du Louvre [myze dy luvʁ], is the world's largest art museum and a historic monument in Paris, France, and is best known for being the home of the Mona Lisa.
The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as the Louvre castle in the late 12th to 13th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to urban expansion, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function, and in 1546 Francis I converted it into the primary residence of the French Kings. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace.
