Keep joining us every month and you will become one too

Ok, just a heads-up, your page count should be greater than or equal to 60 to be counted as a book.

So if you are reading ffs, you need 5 ffs whose page counts will add to 60.

My hack to do this is following formula

(Word count of story 1+Word count of story 2+Word count of story 3+Word count of story 4+Word count of story 5)/300>=60

If the above gives true, I log the 5 stories as 1 book, else I manipulate the ffs around so that hopefully I find a story which when swapped with one of the above stories satisfies the formula and I can use the removed ff with some other FF with a bigger word count.

Ik is a little complicated, but welcome to my overthinking life

Tagging only those in my team who I think/know read ffs

For actual books with count less than 60, skip them from adding, they ain't helping your cause.

And don't log unless you have read, especially ffs, coz woh alag siyappa ho sakta hai

I follow the same method for logging shorter FFs

But I had asked @LizzieBennet if we can log continuing FFs from previous months separately even if the page count is less than 60... and she said yes... that's why you might see some smaller numbers in my list (in which case I do mention the chp numbers as well)

Oh ok, I'll add another column that you can tick for those stories that are continued.

It's not like we read through every comment (atleast I don't, toh it'll make my life easier with the column)

Oh well I didn’t realize that would work out to less than 60 pages per log. I only said it’s okay for chapters to be logged separately provided they totalled to more than 60 pages. But if you are continuing an FF from a previous month (or DNFing one) and number of pages are less than 60 please do mention that in the comments so there’s no confusion.

I'm a little confused . I'm already mentioning the specific chp numbers wherever necessary. Do I need to write anything else? Or should I just group these FFs as well... to avoid all confusion? Because last time I had specifically asked about less than 60 pages -

What if we are continuing a fic from last month? Can that have less than 60 pages? Since the book rule allows less page count for continued books, I thought the same would apply to fan fics... but let me know if I should group them together anyway.

And this is what you said -

Yeah if you’re continuing from previous month, it’s fine.

I'm fine doing it either way... just lemme know.

Understandable. It's more easily visible in my IF log but probably difficult to catch in the excel sheet. You can add a column or I can just group these fics... whichever seems easier to you .

Edit : Okay, I saw the new column in excel and have marked as required.

I’m taking a break from work so should be able to log more books than before this month but I need some good recommendations

Mental TBR list I used to maintain got formatted a while ago

You should search for books that will also meet the disability themed, do-do badges milenge 🤭

Guys, keep your posts and sheet updated. Lizzie isnt be around, so let's be on our best behavior and make it easier for ourselves and the mods.

If you have read books related to any disability, update them in the Disability reviews thread and the 4th table in the sheet. Don't forget the two quotes and the review.

If you are continuing a book/FF from previous month, I have added a new book to be marked true, just for make things more transparent, similarly, there's another column that can be marked true if your book is disability themed (which will serve as a remainder that that book needs to be logged in 2 sheets and 2 posts unlike the other books)

If you need more rows (ie if you read more books than the number of rows you are assigned), do add them, don't wait for me/mods to do, but when you do so, update the formula under your name too.

P.S. I don't want ya'all to report to me like a school teacher, main bas weekly reminder daal rahi coz that's what m expected to do. As long as you meet all rules that will secure you your badge(s) it's all good, don't wait for the last minute, that's all I am saying.
