Read with a dash of Pride: Reading Challenge June 2025 *TEAMS P.16 - Page 42

If I DNF a queer book and can't complete another queer book within 30th June but read more than 60 pages of both of them and write their reviews, will the pages of those two books be counted for the pride prose badge?

DNF pages are allowed provided you complete at least 60 pages in the book or 25% of the book, whichever is more. You will still need to write an LGBTQ+ themed review and include 2 quotes.

Yes, if this criterion is met for both books:

Thank you for the answer. What is the difference between 60 pages and 25%? Is the rule of 60 pages for paperback and the rule of 25% for e-books?

No it’s 60 pages or 25% of the book whichever is more. For eg if you DNF a 100 page book you will need to log 60 pages because that is more than 25% of the book which will be 25 pages. But if you DNF a 1000 page book then 60 pages will be just 6% - so you will need to log 25% of the 1000 page book which is 250 pages. So it will depend on the total page count of the book you DNF

Do I need to complete 60 pages or 25% of Amazon's print length or the paperback I have? I have paperback versions of both of them.

since we’re going with Amazon page counts, we will stick to the same for this as well. You will need to do a calculation based on the page counts of the copy you hold Vs Amazon’s paperback page counts.

Okay, I DNFed a book at page number, 147 from a book which consists of 232 pages. This book's Amazon print length is 240 pages. So, I can write 152 pages instead of 147 pages (page count of my paperback). Right? If I calculate, the page count becomes 152.06 pages.

Is this correct, Lizzie?
