Book Challenge by Erin 13.0

Book Challenge by Erin 13.0 - General Rules

•   First and foremost, have fun. Don't stress. No one is being judged, graded, or penalized. Even if you finish only one book the entire challenge, if you enjoy it and it's an accomplishment for you, then that's awesome.
  
•   The challenge will run from JULY 1, 2020 to OCTOBER 31, 2020. No books that are started before 12 a.m. on July 1 or finished after 11:59 p.m. on October 31 will count. (We live in different time zones – follow this according to your own time zone.)
  
•   Each book must be at least 200 pages long. Audio books are fine too.
  
•   A book can only be used for one category, and each category can only be
  completed once. If you want to switch the category of a book, or change the
  book you originally chose, no worries.
  
•   You can read your books in any order you choose.
  
•   Rereads can be used only once. If a book you love fits into a category, go
  ahead and visit it again. Read it in its entirety. But, only do this once for the
  challenge.
  
•   The admins will create a photo album for each category with links to books
  chosen. Please comment on the photo for each of your books when you finish reading them. A comment can include a review, a rating, a recommendation...other readers want to hear what you thought of your choice. (If you need help with this, let me know...or there is a file attached to our group explaining what to do.)
  
•   There will be 10 book categories with a possibility of earning 200 points. That’s 10 books in four months. For some of you, this will be a BIG challenge; for others it will be easy peasy. It’s all for fun, remember!
  
•   There will be a bonus round, and it is completely voluntary for those who want a little extra challenge, but don’t worry about that until the bonus round is officially announced.
  
•   Book categories will be posted June 1st to give you time to gather books in preparation.
  
•   After the categories are posted, please post a preliminary list with books of your choice according to their categories on the facebook group page by June 15th (if possible). If you need help with a particular category or want a book suggestion, we as a community of reading enthusiasts can help each other. (Late entries will still be accepted.)
  
•   The first three people who finish the challenge will be invited to contribute a category for the next challenge.
  
•   The following will get a small prize from me a WILD CARD random draw for all who complete the bonus round, and a WILD CARD random draw for all others who complete the 10 book challenge. Plus, everyone who completes the challenge will gets all sorts of recognition and support!
