Re: Book Bout - Questions
Hi! I'm sorry if this is obvious but I'm a bit lost haha. So If I finished reading a book, let's say, Harry Potter, I have to post a review (start a topic) in the Bookshelf forum (or if there's already a topic with my book just comment under it) and then what should I do to let my points count? I know I need to post a link to my review but where? Thank you in advance

Re: Book Bout - Questions
Hi Louis! Yes, that's right; you can also post about the book in one of the Between the Pages discussions instead if you can think of something to say that fits one of them.
You then edit a link to that post into your original reply to the signup topic as well as whether you think it fits the theme (exploration/adventure). If you also want the book to count for one of the reading prompts, you should specify which and give a brief explanation about why it fits that particular prompt.
If I was doing it, I might say "I read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (link to my review). It fits the theme as it's about adventure. It also fits the prompt about unusual modes of transportation because there's a flying car."

Re: Book Bout - Questions
I am currently re-reading a book I read some years ago.
When I finish that, does that count or not?

Re: Book Bout - Questions
Re-reading is fine, as is reading an audio book or graphic novel.
Providing you've read (or reread) the majority of it during the challenge period itself, it's all good.
