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

Each individual participant can read a book from the individual prompts, and by doing so you will get +5 for your team.
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)
Author- __________ (hyperlink)
Page count- ________ (according to the edition linked)
Team name with a link to the thread- ________
Prompt completed- _________
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.

Hello ! :)So if I understand correctly one prompt can be used several times right ? (although it might be interesting to try to complete all of them !)
@Nashita : Personally I have not found any additional recommendations at the moment ! If another member of the group wants to give some, then yes we can decide to start on May 1st :) We need to be able to get the book too ! (I personally have a kindle so it should be fine for me)
Oh for the first prompt I may have an idea but idk what you all think :1. Antique piece
Read a book published before 1950
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
First published in 1883 !
I once read it and it was pretty nice ! I was really surprised

We could read this for lesser known classic?
And read Pride and Prejudice for the 1st one
If we aren't interested in reading all other books for the prompts, we could always read for the same prompt like Heloise said

we could just read something by dr seuss, so we get the points.

maybe we could stick with madeline miller and read The Song of Achilles? and i think we'd also get the extra five points.

we could choose The Song of Achilles for this prompt instead.

Acropolis Museum
The Acropolis Museum is an archaeological museum focused on the findings of the archaeological site of the Acropolis of Athens. The museum was built to house every artifact found on the rock and on the surrounding slopes, from the Greek Bronze Age to Roman and Byzantine Greece. It also lies over the ruins of a part of Roman and early Byzantine Athens.
The museum was founded in 2003, while the Organization of the Museum was established in 2008. It opened to the public on 20 June 2009.[1] More than 4,250 objects are exhibited over an area of 14,000 square metres.
