* The minimum page count needed to complete a block is the same as the minimum page count for page points -
~ Adult/Ya without illustrations = 50 pages
~ Middle-grade/children's books without illustrations = 75 pages
~ Manga, graphic novels, plays, poetry, and books written in verse = 150 pages


* Books started before October may be used to complete blocks and earn bonus points, as long as you read at least the minimum pages for your type of book (as above).
- Please let us know when posting how many pages have been read in October so that we can give you the correct points the first time.


* Tags must be on the book's first page of tags, and need only be tagged once.


* Our bonus points system will be changing. You will still receive your individual bonus points when claiming a block as normal, but team bonus points for completing the grid will be different.

The bottom row of your team scoreboard will have a couple of extra sections.
__________|_BR_|_BRP_|_PP__|_BP__|_Total_|_Multi_|_Total_|

The new sections are 'multiplier' and the new total.

Each team will start with a multiplier of x1, which will purely be the points you've earned x1 = total
__________|_BR_|_BRP_|_PP__|_BP__|_Total_|_Multi_|_Total_|
Team______|__0_|___0_|___0_|___0_|_____0_|___x1__|______0

__________|_BR_|_BRP_|_PP__|_BP__|_Total_|_Multi_|_Total_|
Team______|_12_|__80_|_200_|_200_|___480_|___x1__|____480


Each time your team completes the grid, that multiplier will go up by one, so the first time will double your score, and second time will treble it and so on.
__________|_BR_|_BRP_|_PP__|_BP__|_Total_|_Multi_|_Total_|
Team______|_25_|_100_|_450_|_450_|__1000_|___x2__|___2000


This multiplier will stay with you and act on every point earned, including those earned before you get it. Your total will be adjusted every time points are counted.

This hopefully shows how the multiplier will work. Basically, points are added as normal, but we have this one additional bit on the end which will form your team bonus points.

The more times your team completes the grid, the higher your multiplier will go ☺

To find tags on the desktop site, go to the page for your chosen book, and look on the right hand side where you should see the heading 'GENRES' -




Click on this, and you should get the first page of tags/genres for your book -
