For this challenge it doesn't need to be read consecutively to count. However points can only count and be giving in the points threads once your tasks link up. Example:
If you read nr 1, then 4, then 3 and then 2. Only once you finish nr 2 can you claim 4 points, because they only then link up.
If that made sense :)
Can a few people just post to say they understand!

But I agree with the villain!
Maybe 25) The amount of words in the title of 25 must be the same amount of words in 24's title?
For the author recommendations, couldn't we just use either one (cover or Goodreads?). If there's nothing on the cover there will certainly be something on Goodreads.Agree with the villain thing. The last book I read didn't have a villain. The only person who came close was a woman named Solara, which isn't exactly a common name.
I'm fine with Lu's suggestion :)
Mod
Lol, that's going to take me way too long! Plus there are often recommendations on the back cover which isn't pictured on Goodreads.
Mod
I like the idea of changing villain into number of words in title. Villains in general tend to have strange rare names, at least in the books I read.
