Insurgent was a May group read. You read it in June, so you get +5 (if you had read it in Mat, it would have been +10). You have 296 points now.

It's based on last name, so I put this under "W". Points remain the same.

We're not quite matching up... I have you at 448 points and 13617....
Oh, duh. Totally didn't even get that. It's been a long weekend.
Karis- I figured out the points: I forgot to put the monthly challenge for Without Tess, but I am not sure about the pages. I put the page numbers next to the books- can you see where we don't match up? (Also, sorry I didn't do that in the first place- it was late.)

Jennifer,
You already claimed for Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy for "R", I put this book under "I" for you so your points stay the same (you haven't claimed for "I" yet). Let me know if you want me to change it.
Kellee wrote: "Karis- I figured out the points: I forgot to put the monthly challenge for Without Tess, but I am not sure about the pages.

No big deal...

Why are all my books by authors with a last name beginning with M or B??? You can tell I don't plan my challenges...
Also, I was quite disappointed with this book. I wanted it to be so much cooler than it was. :/
