🏆 *Updated* Scoring System
1. Page Points
0.01 points per page (with rounding)
100 to 149 pgs = 1pt
150 to 249 pgs = 2pts
and so on�
2. Task Completion
10 points for each monthly theme task completed
Maximum of 100 points per month (10 tasks x 10 points)
3. Bonus Genre
Additional 5 points if the task is completed with a book from the monthly bonus genre
4. Reviews and Summaries
5 points for each book review or summary submitted
Reviews must be at least 200 words to qualify
5. Discussions
5 points for active participation in each book discussion
Discussions must be held in the Buddy Read folder with a mod-approved thread
6. Team Reading Challenge
2 bonus points per book if the entire team reads the same book in a month
7. Diversity Reading Bonus
5 bonus points for reading a book by an author from an underrepresented group or a book translated from another language
8. Monthly Milestone Bonus
50 points if the team completes at least 80% of their monthly reading goals
9. Quarterly Milestone Bonuses
25 points if the team maintains an 80% or higher completion rate of their reading goals for the entire quarter
10. Team Balancing Bonus
To recognize teams that exceed their expected reading totals based on their combined maximum capacities, there is a Team Balancing Bonus. This bonus rewards teams for pushing beyond their limits while maintaining individual reading caps:
5% over Expected Total: 50 bonus points
10% over Expected Total: 100 bonus points
15% over Expected Total: 150 bonus points
20% or more over Expected Total: 200 bonus points
Example: If your team has a combined capacity of 36 books but reads 40 books in a month (11.11% over), your team will earn 100 bonus points.
11. Team Improvement Bonus
To encourage consistent growth and effort, there is a Team Improvement Bonus:
If your team increases its total books read compared to the previous month, you’ll earn an additional 30 bonus points. This bonus applies every month, rewarding teams for striving to improve regardless of their starting point.
Example: If your team read 29 books in Month 1 and increases to 35 books in Month 2, you’ll earn this bonus.
12. Adaptive Scoring System
To level the playing field further, there is an Adaptive Scoring System based on each team’s total monthly reading capacity:
Tier 1 (41-50 books): No multiplier
Tier 2 (31-40 books): 1.1x multiplier
Tier 3 (21-30 books): 1.2x multiplier
All points earned by the team (including bonuses) will be multiplied by this factor at the end of each month. However, if your team exceeds its tier’s capacity (e.g., a Tier 3 team with a capacity of 28 books reads into Tier 1 territory by completing 45 books), the multiplier will no longer apply. This adjustment ensures fairness as teams progress into higher tiers.

This is my first time in this challenge but looking to hit those bonus points as much as I can. I like reading Lit-Fic, fantasy, paranormal, and mystery.



I can do People we meet on vacation in January :)

That works for me! I'll put in the request from my library now.

I'm not really into Buddy Reads either.
I'll try to read a common book each month to earn those Bonus Points.
I also don't usually take the time to write reviews, but again, I'll see what I can do for that Bonus Points category.

If I can get a copy I'll read it. I'll keep track of my thoughts because I read really fast.

Ugh! same with the reviews for me, but I'm willing to try.

As far as I can tell, completions are only on the SS for this challenge. And for reviews, I would think as long as you can link to it, you should be OK. I will likely post them here...for the ones I actually do. 😬




I've just been taking notes at 3 major parts and then stretch out like I'm doing a book report for school. And I haven't been in school for over 25 years 🤷🏿♀�
I don't think we have to Buddy Read People We Meet on Vacation, right? We just all have to read it to get those bonus points.

I really don't enjoy discussing books (that probably sounds crazy), so I probably won't participate in that. I don't think it's required anyway...we just have to all read it. At least that's what I take the rule to mean.

Buddy Reads are separate. They have their own threads and anyone can join them. We don't all have to participate in those discussions to get points. I'm not 100% ruling them out completely, it would just greatly depend on the book, I guess.

Ooh yay even better... I don't always care about discussing books either.

How's it looking for everyone to finish People We Meet on Vacation and fit it into one of your tasks? Will we make it this month?

That's how I felt about it too.

I actually LOVE the February tasks. I just got a ebooks bundle of 41 erotica romance book and many of them fit the topic. plus I have a bunch I just found at the discount bookstore. Hopefully I'll be able to read read read. I'm also writing my dissertation next month.
