Listopia Madness- March 2025

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Monthly Challenge: March 2025

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.

A: Yes, it is the same book so the edition you use does not matter.

Can Sammy's list please be added to message 1?
Also is the Luck and Fortune challenge included?

[Sammy]

There's a link to my list in my post: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Donna has a lot on at the moment, so that should keep you going until she can get to it! 😁

[Angie ☯]

I don't think the link to mine is working either. Posting it here and it is also linked in Sammy's post!
