Hello - and I hope you've had a fabulous start to the new year!

Question: Would book #3.5 in a series count the same as #3?

Thanks!

Hmmm, no. I will give 0.5 bonus points for each novella within a series though.

Question about the bonus for starting and finishing a series.

For this series, there are 8 books in the series but book 8 doesn't come out until late this year.

Would reading books 1-7 count as starting and finishing the series since that's all the books that are out during the challenge?

How many books make a series? Do trilogies count?

Because the last book comes out this year, I will allow it.

Sure! Duets/Duologies, Trilogies, etc.

[Melanie]

For comics/graphic novels, can we still get the series bonus for those even if they're under 100 pages after dividing by 4?

For example, if I were to read Grimm Fairy Tales Vol. 2, would I get the +2 bonus since it's the second in the series?

Sure, I don't see why not since they are in a series.

Perfect, thank you!

I always forget and I don't see it in the Challenge Rules (unless I'm blind, =P) but do rereads count if we leave a new review? Or is there a certain amount of time for rereads to count?

Yes, rereads count! Just leave a new review or do 4-5 status updates :)

Sorry Alaina, I forget, but how do we count graphic novels like "Lore Olympus" in terms of page counts? Can we count them? Thank you!

For GN's, we count 1/4 the page count for page points. So, if you read the following - Lore Olympus: Volume Three, the page count you would use is 384 pages.

384 x .25 = 96 pages

Thank you! :)

If I read every book in a series except the novellas, does that count as reading the entire series or do I have to read the novellas too?

If you do or don't want to read the novellas, that is up to you. I will count it either way.
