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?

edited: Oh 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.)

Do you want to join the reading challenge?

Hi Liz... Coming on IF after ages. So replying a month late to your tag. I guess this challenge is over by now 😅

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!

Vera,

I saw your books log for May and saw you have Elsie Silver (yaay), Lisa Kleypas (we need to talk about her books cos yeah ) and Liz Tomforde. Also saw that you finished Lauren Asher's series, was planning on reading the first one and then buddy reading the second with you!
