Hello Hello folks!

Ready for the results of the May 2025 Reading Challenge?

First off, thank you all who participated and helped your team get to their totals. Each of your contributions are very much valued.

Another thing of note this month was that many of you managed to better your reading totals from last month despite your busy schedules! We do have more Pro badges this month than Star badges, so yayy for y'all!

Again, thank you to Tiara (Dreamofendless) for making the tags and the beautiful badges!

Thank you, Shibani (oh_nakhrewaali) for the lovely Quidditch themed team tags and the siggies!

Thank you to Vera (missFiesty_69) and Parm (WildestDreams) for being the captains for their respective teams, and helping me out with this challenge!

I had thought of making changes to the reading levels this time round because so many of you did amazing! But then have kept them the same as last month (for now) starting from 200 which was the minimum required to earn a participation badge.

Siggies and team tags: oh_nakhrewaali

Badges and tags: Dreamofendless

OMG our team won...what happened to you asking me why I wanted to be a part of the losing team when I said I wanted to be in your team??? Ab pata chala???

And I became Ace from Star probably the first and only time...credit goes to The Prisoner by BA Paris...that book had me hooked. I rarely find such gems that can keep me intrigued. Not so much for the suspense, but more for the writing style!

Lets see how I do this month. I doubt I will cross 1000 pages though. Ace banna to bohat door ki baat hai

Congrats to all the winners!

And it applies more for Shibz cos she joined last minute as an afterthought

So our team kinda piggybacked on these two

Hahaha, probably.

I rather have different badges every month instead of the same one.

Honestly, I just wanna have all the colours in my inventory after that I'll just read what I can and won't bother about which category I belong to

Same here. That’s exactly my plan.

That is solely thanks to these two reading monsters - Butterscotch and Shibz. Between them they clocked like 30K pages Who knew?

These two and Shonali can be a team all by themselves even with 3 members, they'll probably win over the other teams

They should be named Team Rajdhani Goddesses

Btw in the excel sheet, why does the Glitter Gang page have the red thing over each member's heads?

Also, why are the cells not expanding with the reviews like normal? Instead they're just all reading like one huge sentence

It's for seperation, the red lines. To seperate two teammates.

You can format your reviews to wrap around the cell. Lemme know if you want me to do for your cells.

I don't have a review yet, I haven't even finished the book properly

I was just saying based on the current reviews, reading them is difficult if they run on like that 😅
