Rules:
No page limit.
Any version of the book is permitted (hardback, paperback, ebook, or audio book).
Each month you will be given 7 Listopia lists to pick at least one book to read that month. You can choose books from different lists if you decide to read more than one book. Or you can read several books from the same list. The first link will always be the main Listopia page.
Choosing from the main Listopia page:
You can pick any list that shows up on the main Listopia page. The categories are: Featured Lists, Lists with Recent Activity, Lists My Friends Have Voted On, Popular Lists.
You cannot click on a 'more' button, which would have you leave the main Listopia page. You have to choose a list that is currently on that page. (Be aware that the lists on the main page change regularly.)
