Thanks for playing, folks! THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED.

The group read a total of 487,756 pages as a group. Lots o' readin'.

Let's beat that stat in 2018!!







Welcome to the 2017 Relay Race Reading Challenge!!!

HOW IT WORKS
Post a comment (on the LAST COMMENT PAGE) with the following four things:
1) the cover of a book you recently read (see below for instructions),
2) the date you completed reading that book,
3) the number of pages in the book you read, and
4) last but not least, sum of all pages read by the group.
That's it! See below for samples.
The goal is to get to 1,000,000 pages read as a group.
ANYONE can post AS MANY TIMES as they want! This is a group effort, folks! You can enter books read for the bookclub OR those read outside of the group.

THE RULES/SOME TIPS
1. How to add a book cover
On the top right of the comment box, you will see a hyperlink "add book/author" (in English).
At the bottom of the window that appears, you'll see two radio buttons "link" and "cover" - please select "cover".
Type the name of the book in the search field and once you click "search", select the correct book. The code will look like the following without the *: [*bookcover:The Catcher in the Rye|5107]
2. How to decide your page count
If hardcopy, use the number of pages in the edition of the book that you read.
If electronic (kindle, nook, etc.), use the number of pages from the kindle edition.
If you listened to a book on tape, use the number of pages from the most popular edition on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ (when you search a book, the most popular edition is the default).
No genre or page length restrictions, and can be book club group reads OR books you've read outside of the group.
3. Books per post
In general, books per post should be one book as you would be posting the book you most recently finished, but feel free to add more if you have finished multiple books recently!
This is a running tally, so please don't wait and post 20 books at once... wouldn't be much of a relay!
No need to post backdated books. Just start from the day you entered the relay =)
4. Make sure you are on the LAST comment page
As this is a running tally, make sure you are on the LAST COMMENT PAGE before commenting as you want to add your pages read to the last total.
Above the comment box, you'll see the hyperlinks for every comment page, will look like "<< previous 1 2 3 4 5 next >>" or something like this - make sure you're on the highest number. Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ only allows for 50 comments per page.
5. Please double check the math of your post total!!


LET'S RELAY!!!

Cheryl (cherylllr) What book, Brady?


message 44: by Marcos (last edited May 17, 2017 10:06AM) (new)

Marcos Kopschitz | 1766 comments Brady, you can always just go back there and click "edit" in any post and change number of pages, add cover, etc. :-)

Just edited this post for two typos... :-)

Second edit: this suggestion is valid ONLY if no one has yet posted after your post, like it was the case here. Otherwise, the sum would be affected and really it'd be better to add the difference. :-)
