Duration: January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023

Standard Challenge Rules apply, plus...

Challenge Rules:
🔸Rereads DO count for this challenge BUT must have been read more than a year ago.
🔸Each book can be used TWICE to complete the challenge if desired, but you can also complete the challenge without repeating the books. If you complete the challenge without repeating a book, you can add 5 bonus points to your total. Additionally, each section that you complete with one book per task, will give you 2 bonus points.
🔸Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the challenge dates in your time zone, it counts.
🔸You may add your books as you plan on reading them, but please DO NOT add your points until you actually finish the book.
🔸Did you find this challenge late? No problem! You can start anytime before the end of 2023 and add any books you've read during the challenge duration dates!

Spell Out Rules:
🔹Use the FIRST letter in ANY word in the title.
🔹Use the FIRST letter in ANY word in the series title.
🔹Use the FIRST letter in the author's first or last name.

Task Rules:
You must be able to justify how your book fits the prompt. Creativity is encouraged, but please hold to the task/prompt.
🔹Cover Color must be more than 50% (https://labs.tineye.com/color/)
🔹List page number, percentage, or chapter for word in text
🔹Cover Items should be shown or mentioned in your post (ie cover image)
🔹Short explanation for other tasks for proof of task completion
For Author Zodiac Signs, I have included a list under the spoiler tag of Listopia lists (view spoiler)
You don't have to pick anything off these lists, this is just a resource if you are struggling! I suggest trying to confirm the birthdate, as the lists sometimes aren't perfectly accurate!

Spreadsheets:
Personal Tracking Spreadsheet (make a copy before editing): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
I made a spreadsheet that you may copy and use for your own tracking purposes if desired. It will track your page points without needing to figure them out manually. Additionally, there is a copy/paste version for your post, with correct formatting.
Member Point Tracker
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
You can enter your points as you go here, and see how you are doing next to other members.

Point System:
100-300pgs = 1pt
301-500pgs = 3pts
501-700pgs = 5pts
701-900pgs = 7pts
901+pgs = 10pts
For Audiobooks, please use the default editions page number. If it is an Audible only book, use the following formula to find the page count: min x 150 = words, words/250 = pgs (example: 4hr15min = 255min x 150 = 38250words / 250 = 153pgs)

Bonuses:
(to show any bonus on your tracking spreadsheet, add the # of points to the "Bonus Points" column next to your book)
🔸HOB Formal Buddy Reads: If you match any task to a HOB Formal Buddy Read book, and read and participate in one of HOB's Formal Buddy Read discussions, you can add 2 bonus points to your page points. (Note: Bonus points can only be collected once per book, so if you use a book to complete 2 tasks, you only get 2 bonus points, not 4!)
🔸Zodiac "Month" Bonus Task: At the start of each Zodiac "Month" I will release a Bonus Task. In order to count page points for this task, you MUST complete the task during the allocated time period!
🔸Zodiac Sign Bonus: You may give yourself 1 bonus point in your Zodiac Month!
🔸Be on the lookout for more Bonus Point Opportunities! The HOB mods have things up their sleeves for 2023!

📌Make sure that you have notifications turned on, so that you don't miss updates, bonus task notices, etc.

Quick Jump to Challenger List!

Q&A Answers
🔸Is using a non-fiction "character" permitted? Yes, non-fiction characters are fine, as long as they are a reasonably prominent fixture in the book, not just a passing mention!
🔸For 10/ten in title... could it be a 10th book in a series? No, only 10 or TEN in the title.
🔸Do we have to complete the tasks in order? Or only in during the "zodiac month"? No! You can complete the tasks in any order you'd like, at your own pace. The only time limitations are on specifically noted bonus tasks!
🔸Where will bonus tasks be posted? Bonus tasks will be posted here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and also in the normal thread.
🔸Will my score automatically update on the Score Spreadsheet? No, you'll need to update your score manually! If you don't update your scores manually, I can't see who is the winner at the end of the challenge, so try to keep it up to date.

In astrology, Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from about November 22 to about December 21. It is represented either by a centaur shooting a bow and arrow or by an arrow drawn across a bow. The identification of Sagittarius as a mounted archer was made by the Babylonians as early as the 11th century BCE.

Question... How strict is the interpretation of "character" in the tasks? For example, I'm planning to read an autobiography of a mountaineer in January. This would be a perfect book to cover the Capricorn 'goat' task, but only if using the main subject/author in non-fiction is permitted as a 'character' ;)

If fictional characters only, no problem, I'm sure I'll come across a suitable one at some stage, but I thought I'd ask :)

Non fiction characters are fine, as long as they are a reasonably prominent fixture in the book, not just a passing mention!

Risa,
You've got that right! I participated in 2022 and mostly read tasks as they fit with books I was reading...not in any particular order. I finished it with just days to go! Fun challenge that I found to be very challenging! Enjoy!

As a special NEW YEARS Treat! Here is your Bonus task, a day early!

Capricorn

Capricorn, (from Latin: “Goat-Horned”) also called Capricornus and the Goat, governs the period from about December 22 to about January 19.

One explanation of the fishtail with which the goat is often represented is found in the Greek myth of Pan, who, to avoid the monster Typhon, jumped into the water just as he was changing into animal shape. The half above water assumed the shape of a goat while the lower half, the tail, assumed the shape of a fish.

♑CAPRICORN BONUS TASK:
Read a book that features a shapeshifter.
Book must be read between January 1 - January 19 to receive bonus page points.

💥Want another Bonus Opportunity?💥
If you match any task to a HOB Formal Buddy Read book, and read and participate in HOB's Formal Buddy Read discussion, you can add 2 additional points to your page points.

🕮 Formal Buddy Read BONUS:
January's Formal Buddy Read is: Missing Since Monday by Ann M. Martin
