No Repeats: You cannot use the same book twice in this challenge, but if you have an old favorite that fits the bill, feel free to do a reread.
Catch-Up Weeks: At the end of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarter, there will be a catch-up week for the previous quarter only. There will not be one for 4th quarter, as I’ll be announcing the winner on New Years Day.

- If there are multiple people who complete the entire challenge, those names will be put in the random name picker and 2 additional winners will be drawn for a $50 gift card to the book retailer of their choice.
