This challenge is hosted by Cambridgelass at BookCrossing.com
WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE 2008~ this is a read and release challenge
~ the challenge is split into two this year
The first part of the challenge is to continue the original ethos of the ultimate challenge whcih is to read/release as many books from you TBR pile as possible.
This includes ALL Bookcrossing and ALL NON bookcrossing books.
The second part of the challenge will be monthly themed reads/releases.
So if you have a book on your tbr that complys with the themed month you will be awarded extra points.
In simple: read/release as many books from tbr- extra points awarded if you read/release a book that fits with the theme of the month.
POINTS/PRIZES
There will be 3 prizes awarded at the end of the challenge for the 3 bookcrossers with the most points.
Points will be awarded as follows:
1 point for a read or a release
2 points for a read and release
if you read a book that follows the monthly theme you will get 1 extra point
so per book the maximum points you can get per book is 3.
Okay hope that all makes sense if any questions please let me know: )
