STORY SEEKERS 📖 MAY 2025 Reading Challenge

Log at least 200 pages for the month of May.

Log books within 3 days of finishing or DNFing them, but please ONLY log when you're done with the book or the actual number of the pages you've read. TBR pages should not be logged.

Books can be in any language and any genre.

Allowed : Online and Fan Fiction, Novellas, E-books, Audiobooks, Physical books & other chapter books

Not allowed: Magazines, periodicals, graphic novels/ comics, Illustrated books, journals, essays.

Books/ online fics should be a minimum of 60 pages/ 18000 words to qualify.

On request, we have decided to amend this in May to allow shorter fics too, but they will have to be logged as one entry that adds up to more than 60 pages. We will allow a max of 5 fics to be logged as one entry.

For eg: If you read 3 shorter FFs of 20 pages each, you will need to log them together as one entry and submit links to each of them.

Log ONLY pages read from May 1st, 2025 to May 31st, 2025 starting at Midnight and ending at midnight whatever time zone you're in.

If you are continuing a book you started in April, log only the pages you read in May. Similarly, if you are midway through a book on May31st and continue beyond that date, you will log only the number of pages you finished in May.

Reserve a post in your Team's thread entitled "Your UN's page log". Continue to edit the post as you log your pages.

Your log post will look like this:

LizzieBennet's Page Log: April 2025

Name of book - Author - number of Pages

1. Onyx Storm - Rebecca Yarros : 126 pages (continued from March)

2. The Duke of Shadows - Meredith Duran : 76 pages (DNF)

3. Pride & Prejudice: A Jily story (HP fandom) by Victorianesque : 413 pages [AO3 Link shared on the sheet]

Participation badge will be given to all participants based on a tiered system counting the number of pages logged. The winning team will receive a siggy.

Lastly, please remember this is a fun challenge and even if you're feeling extra competitive, please don't cheat! More than being a challenge, this is meant to motivate you into reading more. There's just an extra incentive of getting your team to win, but that's not the end goal!

E-books: For finished books, log pages based on Amazon Kindle Edition's Print length. If you DNF, log number of pages based on percentage read, calculate the number of pages read using the total number from the Kindle print length.

For eg: If the Kindle Print length is 500 pages and you DNF at 20%, then you will log 100 pages (which is 20% of 500).

If you cannot find your book on Amazon, use word count to log pages: Total word count divided by 300 rounded up to the nearest whole number.

If your e-book doesn't have a word count & is not available on amazon, try a publisher's website, ISBN or other standard websites like Goodreads to determine its print length.

Last resort will be to log the actual number of pages that is displayed on the e-book/ pdf.

Paperbacks/ Hardcovers/ Mass market copies: For finished books, log pages based on Amazon's paperback Print length. If you DNF, log only the number of pages you read counting from the copy you hold.

Audiobooks: For finished audiobooks, use the Kindle print length to log. For DNF Audiobooks, calculate the number of pages at the rate of 40 pages per hour at normal speed. If your Audible (or other audiobook app) gives a percentage, then use the Kindle print length to calculate number of pages as in the example given for e-books.

For online fiction/ FFs: Log pages based on word count i.e. Total word count divided by 300 rounded up to the nearest whole number (please note that online fics should be a minimum of 18000 words to qualify). Some online fics/ books maybe found on GoodReads. If the web page doesn’t list the word count, try this.

For eg: If the total word count is 80,000, then your page log will be: 80,000 / 300 = 267 pages.

For online fics from websites such as Wattpad, AO3 and other such rival sites, we ask that you mention the name of the story and the author in your log, and send the link of the story to you Team Captain who will verify it.
