Hi all. I have a question.

After reading 60% of it, I decided not to finished the book that I was reading, but can I mark it for the challenge as "read" or, because I didn't read until the end, it doesn't count here?

Thanks

@Sonsoles
I answered your question already in another thread, but here's my answer again.
You can only count books you've finished reading for this group's challenges.

[Taya]

going to start this is may 2020. I have so many books to read this month so 'm going to start fresh next month. I want to read 12 books for this challenge
