I apologize if this has already been asked and answered... for the author bonus points, is it only if the author's last name starts with a letter in the bonus word, or either the first or last? Thanks!

I have a question since there are 2 ps in pumpkin do we count it once, twice, or double for the bonus points?
Janessa wrote: "I have a question since there are 2 ps in pumpkin do we count it once, twice, or double for the bonus points?"It doesn't matter how many times it is, if the authors name/ title has the letter in it/at the beginning then it counts once.
Janessa wrote: "I have a question since there are 2 ps in pumpkin do we count it once, twice, or double for the bonus points?"Hmmm. I never thought about that. I'd say that it will only count once.
Di is our current leader in the bonus round with a total of 27 bonus points! Congrats!

I thou..."
Yeah... It does. I was hoping no one would notice before I managed to get back to my computer. It does go to December. Yesterday was the 22nd and a snowstorm here. I kind of jumped the gun.
Can I get start this now and include what I've read since September 23?
Barbara wrote: "Can I get start this now and include what I've read since September 23?"Sure thing!
Regann wrote: "Is it too late to start this?"Nope. Feel free to join any time!
Regann wrote: "Am I supposed to only count the actual book and not the pages like, dedication, contents, etc.? Because some of mine are ebooks or library books and I can't remember."I usually just use the page count Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ gives, so the total page count is fine Regann
Our bonus winner for this round is Di with 41 bonus points!

you are welcome! I am excited to know the bonus word lol

Not only are we counting the pages that we read, but there is also a bonus challenge this time. For every book that you read with a title starting with one of the letters in the bonus word give yourself 1 point, if the author's name starts with a letter in the bonus word give yourself 2 points. Watch for our bonus word coming soon
For example (if WINTER were our bonus word):
Nothing Lasts Forever by Sidney Sheldon = 1 point for title
OR
Fire in the Blood by Dale Ibitz = 2 bonus points for author
OR
Winter Swans by Danica Winters = 1 point for title, 2 points for author = 3 bonus points
Be sure to tally your pages and bonus points separately. The person with the most bonus points at the end of the challenge will get to choose a spring related word for the next quarter.
To sign up simply start yourself a post to track what you've read during the read-a-thon. Edit your post throughout the read-a-thon to let everyone know which books you've read & your total number of pages.
