I will accept DNFs if you read to the minimum page count of this challenge (150 p.) AND 70% of the book. You must also state that the book is a DNF and explain why in your completion, include the page number you finished on as well.
So if your book is 350 pages, you would need to have read 245 pages to reach the 70% mark and then your book would be allowed because you would have met both the page and percent requirements. If your book was 200 pages you would need to read 150 pages because that is the minimum for the challenge, even though 70% is only 140 pages.

As long as it is on the shelf, it qualifies. 😊 Unless a teammate recently added it. 😉

54. Read a minimum of 1200 pages in books of the same sub-genre, but by different authors.Does it count if we read the next book in a series to make up any required pages? All of us are reading different authors but we may be short of 1200 pgs. In that case, can we read the next book in the series or does it have to be another author altogether?

All books need to be a different author. So, no to next in a series.
Moving slow this morning, I will get the completions checked as soon as I get a chance. 😊

I didn't want to make an exception just because I happened to know the book/series. But it is also a really good book... 😊
Hi MKat - for the minimum pages tasks, such as “read at least 750 of....” or “read at least 1000 of.....”, can you please confirm if every team member must read a book as part of that task? This question came up because we met the minimum page count without one of our team members, but I was thinking each team member still needed to read a book as part of the task - appreciate if you could please confirm if I understand that correctly. Thanks!

"Each teammate will need to participate in each task, but may take a pass for one task during the course of the challenge."
Regardless if have enough pages without, every member must read at least one book for task unless they choose to use pass. Everyone only gets one pass each for the whole challenge 😊 So you got it right xx
