No, you do get 3 points for reading an S book and 5 points for it being an award winner. But no points for it being a new read.
Although, I'd say it counts towards Kellee's September banned books challenge... So I'll give you 5 points for that if you claim it. :)
(And it's on the Top Novel list...)
Angela - I am happy to claim the extra points. Would that be 10 extra? I haven't had a chance to post it yet on the September challenge was going to do that shortly.

I was doing so well and then school started back and I have barely had time to read picture books and short chapter books. Likely won't be squeezing in any last books between now and midnight. But this has been a fun challenge....thanks Angela.
