Lizzie, I have questions related to incomplete books. I think I won't be able to complete reading a book in May because it's very long. I intend to finish reading it in June. I'm reading the book in PDF format. Do I need to write the actual number of pages that I read from the PDF? Or do I need to see the percentage of reading on the e-reader and then calculate that percentage based on Kindle's print length? Also, do I need to mention that the book is incomplete in a bracket?

Yeah use the percentage read if displayed on your e-reader and then calculate based on Amazon’s Kindle page count. That’s what I do. You can mention along with the log that you plan to continue (something like ongoing or to be continued in June will work) and in June’s log you can say continuing from May and log the rest of the pages

edited: smiley44Oh right—I forgot I’m the captain! That’s why you tagged me. Yes ma’am, I’ll inform the team.

By the way, we can update the Excel later, right? (I’ll be logging another book in about an hour or so.)

Team captains -

I'm tallying the final page logs for all participants from the excel sheet.

Could you please confirm tallies for those who have not entered their logs in the sheet?

And add them to the sheet against their names - that way the final team logs will be updated as well.

Thanks!
