Seasonal RAT: Autumn Read-a-thon September 23 - December 20, 2023

[Karen]

Welcome to our Autumn seasonal read-a-thon. This read-a-thon runs from September 23 - December 20, 2023

For every book that you read with a title starting with one of the letters in the bonus word give yourself 1 point, if any section (first, middle, last) of the author's name starts with a letter in the bonus word give yourself 2 points. The most you can have for any one book is 3 bonus points, 1 for title and 2 for author.

For example (if WINTER were our bonus word):

Nothing Lasts Forever by Sidney Sheldon = 1 point for title
OR
Fire in the Blood by Dale Ibitz = 2 bonus points for author last name
OR
Winter Swans by Danica Winters = 1 point for title, 2 points for author = 3 bonus points

Be sure to tally your pages and bonus points separately. The top 3 people with the most bonus points at the end of the challenge will get to choose a bonus word for the next quarter. NOTE: Bonus point winners cannot win in two read-a-thon's in a row, to give more people the chance to choose bonus words.

To sign up simply start yourself a post to track what you've read during the read-a-thon. Edit your post throughout the read-a-thon to let everyone know which books you've read & your total number of pages.
Here is a template for your post:

So we pick one word to use, correct? And Chrysanthemum is not one of the choices?

I was just looking at the winter readathon and it seems to be a very different setup to this one... Is there going to be one set up like this, or just the other one?

Hi Dani. I have taken over the readathons from Karen. They will be different now. The new autumn one will be set up similar to the Winter one.
