GOAL: Complete as many resolutions as possible
INSTRUCTIONS: Resolutions are common around New Year’s. For this challenge, you’ll be given prompts. We have 2 types of prompts: fiction and nonfiction. Each member who signs up will be given a thread where they will post their New Year’s Resolutions. These will be titled [member name]’s Journal.
For this challenge, there will be a points system. You’ll get 1 point for each book you read, plus points for the page count of the book chosen and 2 bonus points if you’ve never read the book you chose. You will also get points depending on which type of prompt you read. Fiction prompts are worth 1 point, while non-fiction books are worth 2 points. For each genre/book type resolution section you complete, you get five points.
Page count point system:
0-99 pages: 0.5 points
100-199 pages: 1 point
200-299 pages: 2 points
300-399 pages: 3 points
