Lizzie, you said illustrated books aren't allowed. But chapter books have illustrations too. For example- There're many chapters in E.B.White's Charlotte's Web. But there are some illustrations in the book as well. So, is this type of illustrated books aren't allowed?

I guess fully illustrated books aren’t allowed. There are many books with some illustrations in it Shirsha, but they don’t come under illustrated books. For example, Nancy Drew hardcover books have illustrations in it, but it’s still classified as a novel and not an illustrated book.

But on the other hand, if you take graphic version of Twilight, there’s virtually no text without graphics. That is an illustrated book.

Thank you for the answer, Alchemy.

Log at least 200 pages for the month of April.

Log books within 3 days of finishing or DNFing them.

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.

Log ONLY pages read from April 1st, 2025 to April 30th, 2025

If you are continuing a book you started in March, log only the pages you read in April. Similarly, if you are midway through a book on April 30 and continue beyond that date, you will log only the number of pages you finished in April.

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 PMed]

Those who participate in at least 2 consecutive Reading challenges and log more than 1000 pages will receive a participation badge

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.

can you please explain the Log part again? I have hard copies of Harry Potter series.

How exactly should I calculate the pages? I aim to read Book 1 and Book 2 of Harry Potter in April.

That would be your print length for a hardcover copy. If it's a paperback that you're reading, select the paperback option on Amazon and look up the corresponding Print length at the bottom. Similarly if it's an e-book, look up the Kindle Edition Print Length.

Hey,

Could you please reserve a post in the Too Lit to Quit thread? Once you've done that, we can begin chatting! Thanks!
