Hey Listopia geeks. It took me this long, but I figured out an easier way to track whether a book you read is on one of the lists. If you vote on one of the books on each list, then that little green check mark shows up when you are looking at the listopias your book is on. Saves you from having to read and remember the titles of all of the listopias that we have each month.If you all have already been doing this, feel free to point and giggle.
Lol! I am doing that, but only started last month 😆And I only vote for a book already there, I don't add any until after.
Mod
I never thought about voting on a book already on the list!
I just took a sip of soda when I read that. It was a close call...
LMAO! I just had the exact same thing happen. I now have ginger ale all over my brand new laptop. Thanks Angie 😂

Thank you!And before everyone shouts at me for my pick this month
A. It's perfect for Wheel
B. The first list has just about everything on it, so it's a good time to pick it, I thought 😆
Well, it gives me an excuse for finally reading Anna Karenina. But not this Wheel round, as our word has no A in the letters.
Yes! It's a great book. It's good for O as well 😁

I can't update properly since I'm not home until next week but I doubt I have a lot of points xD
I would have added one more book, but it wasn't on any list. How annoying. All done for the month.
What did you think of the Tolstoy Jenny?
I liked it a lot. I wish I had read it instead of listened to it though. I think it would have been a better experience.
Definitely yes, especially for a first read. I have found that tends to be the case for most Russian literature if you want to get a handle on who's who early on 😆

Monthly Challenge: November 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.
