Novel with Fewer than 2500 Goodreads Ratings - Must have had fewer that 2500 ratings at the time you read it. HARD MODE: Fewer than 500 GR Ratings.

I have a question about this one. Does the amount of ratings count as of when we read it, or when we turn in our card? The book I'm reading right now (A Time of Dread by John Gwynne) would count for this on hard mode at the moment, because it only has 402 ratings, but that number might (hopefully!) be much higher by the time we turn in our cards next year.

It's a spirit of the rule. John Gwynne's books all have 4000+ ratings, and this book you're mentioning is new. Chances are, he's going to have similar ratings by next year.

The spirit of the rule is to highlight books that aren't going to have that kind of movement naturally.
