Just a note for the Books That Everyone Should Read At Least Once list: that list has over 33,000 books but it is only showing up to 100 pages which is 10,000 books or up to #9975. So, you should double check your books through the book's "All lists with this book, from our members" link at the bottom of the book's main page. You never know, your book could be #9980 and so not showing up on the list pages!
Sounds like fun! I'll give it a try!📗 Best Books to Read for Halloween

Monthly Challenge: October 2024
Welcome to our monthly Listopia Madness challenge. It is a relatively simple challenge. Every month you will get 3 listopia lists from me and 3 from the winners of the previous month. *Please note that if you do not respond in a reasonable amount of time that the 4th place person (and so on) will replace you until we get 3 lists.
How it works
📘You will read as many books as you want from as many of the lists provided as you want.
📘You will score each book using the point system provided below
📘You will keep a running tally of your total in your post (try to keep your books in one comment, if possible for easy tracking)
📘I will contact the 3 highest-scoring readers at the end of the month and they will each choose one listopia list to be included in the next month's challenge.
Challenge rules:
📘No poetry or cookbooks allowed.
📘Standard Rules Apply
Book Points
Graphic Novel Points
Page Count Limit: 100 (Actual page count)
Please use this formula to find your adjusted page count (for points):
#Pgs x 1/4 = Adjusted Page Count
❀If your adjusted page count is less than 100, you will get 0.5 points for the book. If it is 100 or higher see the page point chart above for points.
