Please update your page logs in the Google sheet for the half month page tally which will be up tomorrow. Even if you have edited and updated your page logs here (which many of you have done), I’m asking you to please add them in the Sheet as well, it makes it easier for me to tally totals.

If I don’t have your page counts, I won’t be able to post an accurate page log for our team, so please do me a solid and update everything you’ve read so far in the Sheet! Thank you!

I updated the page count for the one book I completed, both here and on the sheet. The other two I've just barely started on, do you want me to include partial counts for them?

Done Lizzie! Mine is up to date as of now!

I'm finally getting around to starting the Percy Jackson series! I just finished Ch. 4 of The Lightning Thief - Annabeth just had her first ever line and I'm having so much fun with this book. (Not that I ever really doubted that I wouldn't like it - it might've been nearly 15 years ago, but I remember really liking The Lightning Thief when I first read it. I simply did not continue the series because 10-year-old me thought boys were disgusting and was not willing to read another book from a boy's POV. )

My thoughts so far:

• The book is incredibly funny in just the most unserious way.
• Rick Riordan's characterization is so distinct from the get-go, like, Percy's snark/humour is very different from Grover's (for example).
• I'm actually kind of mad that middle grade and children's books get to have fun chapter titles and YA/NA books don't. (At least from what I've seen.)
• I'm already incredibly attached to Percy's mom, Sally. The way Rick has written Percy to love her makes me love her as though she were my own mother.
• Pleasantly surprised by my own Greek mythology knowledge.

3) Ruthless Arrangement - Jordan Marie - (Continuing from March) page 178-211 - 33 pages

Lizzie, for beyond oblivion I couldnt find the Amazon pagecount for Kindle and the goodreads one said 382 so I put that, but today I found the Kindle one on Amazon and it says 466 so I'm changing it. Tell me if that's okay because mujhe ajeeb lag raha itna ziada page difference dekh ke I can change it back if you want me to, but for now I'm also changing it to 466 on the spreadsheet, so you might need to do the total page count again, sorry for the inconvenience

That’s why everyone only needs to put in the number in the ‘number of pages’ column and nothing else. (No words/ explanation)

I’d you did write something else in the column I’ve changed it to only the page number. Also word count divided by 300 is how you calculate number of pages for online fics.

This has been updated. I'm currently midway of a fanfic so I'm not sure how to give you a page count. Shall I do an approx?

Yeah that’s ok, or you can just wait till you’ve finished it.

I finished 10 of 30 chapters so I gave an approx page count.
