This month was difficult to separate winners; Christina's Book won both categories by a long shot. Stephanie got 3769/260 & Tonya got 3767/325. If I named Christina's Book the winner of the Most Pages Read, then Tonya was the winner of the Most Bonus Points Read, but because Christina's Book had so many Bonus Points, the most I've ever seen I think - 1165! So I had to give the winner of the Most Bonus Points to her, therefore the winner of the Most Pages Read is Stephanie.
Also I took into account overall totals for Stephanie & Tonya.
Stephanie = 3989
Tonya = 3443
So sorry Tonya, but there's always next month and you have been a very worthy winner in the past :)
Great reading amount done by everyone this month.
yay! I've been gone for so long I had to make my comeback count! it was so fun planning the month out and then avoiding all responsibilities to boot my personal reading record. I m looking forward to planning the next one.
Mod
Well done 👏
It’s all good! Congratulations to the winners and keep reading!

Purpose:
The purpose of this thread is to find out how many pages we can read and how many bonus points we can amass for the month. The winners of both get to choose the topics for the month after the following one.
Rules:
- If you want to participate, copy the template below and post a new comment. You can do this now or anytime before the challenge ends on 01/31/2024, midnight in what ever time zone you are in. Totals will be calculated on 02/01/2024.
- When you finish reading, go back to your original comment and update it with the number of pages, book link, date read, and your new pages/bonus totals. THIS MUST BE DONE IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED AS A WINNER.
- Any book counts as long as you read it during the month, book club selections or not, add it! Audiobooks also count, just use the page numbers from the most popular hardback/paperback edition.
- Started but DNF (Did Not Finish) a book, add it but only add the number of pages you actually read within the month and comment that you did so. If you started a book in January for example and finished it in February, post the number of pages you read in February and please indicate this.
- Please be sure to type in the areas provided in the template your total number of pages read and bonus points that you have achieved. If your totals are not added up on your template by the end of the month, then I will not be aware of the full total and you will be counted on what I see on the 2nd of the following month.
Participating Members:
Once you comment with your template, I will add you to the list of Participating Members. It will show your totals and what message you are. The totals will be added up at the start of the following month. Please only post one template per participant.
The Winners:
There will be two winners, one for the most pages read during the month, and one for the most bonus points obtained. Please note that you can only win once during a 6 month period for either the most pages or the most bonus points. If you are the participant with the highest number of pages or bonus points, and have already won in the previous 6 month period, then the person with the next highest pages/bonus points will be selected as the winner for the month. Winners will be announced once the totals have been posted and calculated. Winners will be notified via message and given instructions for their bonus round selections.
Template:
