It's our first weekly update! Woohoo!
Remember, those buddy and group reads are where the points are won—and if you buddy read within your teams your points add up a lot faster. And if you're feeling a little behind, that's okay! In the past it's not always the groups that jump ahead in the beginning that win in the end. Points can change dramatically from week to week—the goal is to keep reading, keep posting updates, and rack up those bonus points!
Three housekeeping notes as we roll past our first week:
1. Don't forget to put the prompt category and number in your completion post. It helps us out a lot!
2. We found some errors in the teams' spreadsheets. All that have been identified are fixed, but if you notice more, please let us know.
3. We count page points very leniently as there are a lot of different versions of things (particularly with ebooks, physical editions and older books). I know everyone wants the most page points possible, but please pick the edition you read or something that has a page number within the majority of the other editions (no outliers). The number on your ebook might differ from Goodreads, but that could be due to how you have your font sized configured—please go with the Goodreads number. Also, while buddy reading, I recommend that all parties involved settle on a single page number for their book—it means less follow up from the mods when we spot inconsistent numbers.
Happy Summer Days

I'm not sure if our spreadsheet is correct - on the Categories tag it's not indicating that one book has been read for Xbox Experience 5 when Rosina has completed the book for that prompt.

It's fixed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Week 2 is over! Starting next week, I'll be trying to do a mid-week points check in, particularly as your points start to climb and the reading becomes fast and furious.
Keep it up—you are all doing great!
