How to register: Register online through Beanstack. Create an account to join a club then log reading, track challenges, and enter bi-weekly prize draws. A full list of bi-weekly prizes and grand prize can be viewed on Beanstack. Individuals can create their own account and add multiple profiles for family members and friends in the same account. Each participant will have their own dashboard and there are no limits to the number of profiles in a single account.
