If we don’t finish the book by Dec 31, can we report the pages read this year?? I have a few that I won’t finish until 2023.

I have the same question.

We can only count the pages if we've completed the book.

However, those books might count for 2023?

Lesle should be able to answer that question for us, as the creator of this challenge.
