MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN...


HOW TO JOIN
1. Reply to this thread with "I want to participate in a group" or "I want to participate by myself," and the number of books you read/listen to each year (this isn't to judge your reading habits but to attempt to create balanced teams).

�� Books must be read and reviewed during June 1st through July 31st. Any books or audiobooks started before June 1st or finished after July 31st will not count.
�� If you read an Audiobook version of a book convert the hours to pages using this site: or use the print equivalent on ŷ������.
�� Graphic/Manga novels are accepted but will only count for half of the listed page count
�� You must post at least 3 status updates OR a review. It doesn't have to be super detailed but try to not just say "this was good" for the book to count.
�� For prompts: if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit, and it will not count.
�� Minimum Lengths:
�� Books: 150 pages
�� Graphic Novels: 200 pages (halved=100 pages)

+3 for one completed category
+4 points for reading/participating in a group read (must take place in the group)
+5 points for every 1,000 pages read
