I'm confused, Roseanne. If you posted in the WT Contemporary folder about Twisted, then that will count. I'm not sure why you said it didn't count? Help me out here, it's been a long day :)

Oh no! I just realized I wanted "Boy Toy" to count as my letter "Y" book. Any chance I can free up the letter "B" and switch "Boy Toy" to "Y"? Not a big deal if I can't.

Angela, I was checking my points sheet, and I have 5 more points listed there than I do here. I'm trying to figure out where the discrepancy comes from, and I'm wondering if I claimed the Genre points for Forget You. If I didn't, I'd like to claim that for Romance. If I did... Well, then I'll keep looking. Thanks!

I didn't know I had to post in it.. I just thought that it was therre under Contemporary that I would use that as the genre instead of fitting it into my own category. I haven't done these A-Z challenges before, so i'm still a newbie.
I posted now :D

No worries! You get 5 points when you contribute (or start) a discussion about a book you read for the challenge. I added your 5 Twisted discussion points back on.
The genre points are a different system. You can get 5 points per different genre (as listed in the rules). So for Twisted you can still claim realistic as your genre. But you can only claim points for each particular genre one time, so you couldn't collect points for realistic again for Speak. Does that make sense?
*Hint, hint... I said I wasn't going to help but I am anyway. Fever 1793 works for historical genre, Twisted for realistic genre, and Hourglass for fantasy. Claim your 15 points!*

Oh no! I'm not in the top three any more! :( Darn school starting!
(I know, not a competition. For fun. But I am always competitive :P)
Kellee - My reading has dropped to almost nil since I have been back in the swing of things for school. So understand the feeling.

I hate not reading, but there just isn't the time and/or energy sometimes...

Gah! Ashley just passed me!! I'm going to read 20 books this weekend... or something... lol. :-D
Oh, quick question... for those of us that read Mockinjay last month, can we nab the 5 points for it being a group read?
I will never catch up with Ashley and Kristen unless I give up my job and read around the clock. Those ladies are amazing. My hat is off to them.
Alyson, I definitely recommend giving up the job, and reading non stop. I mean really... Who wants to do anything else?! Ahem... Just kidding.
Really?! Wow... I don't think I even noticed, but that just totally made my day! :) (And, since I've been sick, my laptop crashed and then didn't get fixed properly that's something!)
I'm sure you'll catch up!
(Sorry for the triple posts, but the Really?! Wow... was in reply to Kristen and should have posted first... Weird. )
Lol. :-D I'll try. Must bury myself in a pile of books or read some with more points attached - I'm making a list as we speak. My husband thinks I'm insane...
Okay, I read Betsy-Tacy on the request of a friend. I know...it is my 4th "B" book but I need some points and pages. LOL! Multiple B book - 3 pts.
new Genre - classic - 5 pts. (this should be right book first published in 1940)
first time read - 5 pts.

No worries Alyson! I think I now have like 6 C books... lolMy two latest reads this week were:
The Capture, first time reading, posted under Action/Adventure folder, first for genre Action/Adventure, 240 pages
Book points: 18
The Emerald Talisman, first for letter E, first time reading, posted under Fantasy folder, 280 pages.
