This is a relatively simple challenge. You will just read books from your TBR. The competitive aspect comes from the fact that you are competing against other members. Each book will be worth points. See the chart below for the point value. There will be badges for the top 3 highest scorers. I will award them at the end of the month. Make sure you update your scores. I will give you an extra day to update your scores. Now go work on those TBRs!
