Just a note for anyone who would be checking my reviews

Don't.

This month I'm being an angel for all the authors I'll be reading by not rating books. I find it extremely tiring to think of a justified rating. All the recent fiction books are a mix — corny, swoon worthy dialogues, full of unwanted smut scenes, illogical and unrealistic portrayal of physical/mental health and omg, the billionaire obsession. There are points where I'm like "ehh why am I even reading this?" And the same book also offers me "ohh how cute!"moments. So, being the ignorant I am, I'll be reading books without taking them to my brain, getting them analyzed and pasting 'stars' on them. I'm gonna read whatever I want to, and leave a rating for those which actually make me feel like I've wasted my time. I'll drop in a short review for the books I read tho.

We can't say we haven't been warned okay Roseline, I'll keep this in mind while stalking your books but will ignore the reviews

Actually it's more like you can't judge my choices this month

A week of July is already over. Please keep your logs and excel sheet(s) updated. Aur haan, pls don't forget to log your disability themed books in the Disability reads Reviews thread for the pages to be counted! Since Lizzie is not here, let's make it easy for her and all the organisers I'll trouble y'all coz I'm expected to! Apologies if you already have! Happy reading

Updated mine..🤙

I have been preparing for a professional certificate hence while I am reading quite a lot, don't think study material will be considered here 😅😅

But after 15th July, I would be back to my world of thrillers, fantasy, romcoms and sci-fi 😁

Can you set the page number log limit higher than 3000 in the Excel sheet?

I think Lizzie is not active, so tagging you.

Would have changed it but idk if it's set on any purpose so..... yea!!

I ran into the same issue last time — my book was around 3,370 pages. I asked Lizzie, and she told me to split it up. I tried changing it but couldn’t figure it out. I’ll let you know if I get it to work. For now, could you split it up if possible? Just drop a note in the comments that the count is split.
