Log only the books you finish or DNF from June 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025.
Log books within 3 days of finishing / DNFing them. Please DO NOT log pages that you intend to read or page counts of books that are in your TBR. ONLY FINISHED PAGES SHOULD BE LOGGED!
Add the book title/ author/ format and page count to the post you have reserved in your team’s thread (which will be posted by your captain). You will edit this post as you keep reading. You will also be adding the same page counts in the Google sheet that will be shared in your team’s thread.
Wherever possible, please use Amazon’s page counts for logging pages. For ebooks and audiobooks, use Kindle page counts. For paperbacks and hardcovers, use paperback page counts. If you cannot find the book on Amazon, you can use other legitimate sources.
For online fiction, use word count divided by 300 to log pages.
If you DNF, or if you are continuing a book from May, log only the pages you’ve read. You can use percentage read (at the point of DNF) for ebooks, actual page numbers for paperbacks and for audiobooks, log pages based on number of hours read (40 pages per hour at normal speed)
You are responsible for tracking your own reading. Please keep an accurate log of the books you finish. We trust you to be honest. And while we understand the spirit of competitiveness, please also remember that the Reading Challenge is designed to motivate you to read more and beat your own personal counts, so you are competing with yourself!
Lastly, have fun! This is not meant to stress you out, or keep you awake at night or even push you to ignore real life responsibilities for the sake of bringing up your team’s total. Read what you can, how much you can, when you can! No judgment!
Now for the Pride ka tadka!
Since it’s Pride Month, the theme for June will be Queer Fiction and we have an additional incentive for you in the form of this stunning badge designed by Shibani (oh_nakhrewaali) if you choose to participate in the Pride Prose Challenge.
All you need to do is log 500 pages (approx 2 books) that are LGBTQAI+ themed fiction.
These books can be included in your page logs for your team as well, so you stand to earn 2 badges should you participate in both the Pride Prose Challenge and the regular monthly Reading challenge!!
Note that this is not mandatory.
Your page counts will still be valid in the Reading Challenge if you don’t read any Pride Themed books. Just that you won’t receive the Pride Prose Badge.
If you don’t sign-up for the monthly reading challenge, you can still participate in the Pride Prose Challenge. No additional sign-up is required for this.
However, there will be an additional task for Pride Prose to win this coveted badge - you will need to review the Queer fiction you read and add a couple of quotes from these books in the thread I will be posting for the reviews. Note that only those who complete the required 500 pages will receive the Pride Prose Participant badge!
