I have logistical question. Are we supposed to first enter our read books on the Banked spreadsheet that has the links to reviews and buddy reads. Then add those same books to S1 sheet to assign it to a space. Or can read books be added directly to the S1 sheet as they are read as long as there a space on the board that they work for?

You can add to the S1 tab. Banked will be for the books you’ve read but somehow don’t work for the remaining numbers.

While you are watching can I ask another about buddy reads. This is my first challenge in this group. I’m planning on reading Things we left behind this month. I see that the series is a series read starting in February. Can do a buddy read with this group even though I have already read the first book previously? And if so do I use the same thread for the series that starts with the first book?

You can join that thread and just read the second book if you want. Or you can ask someone to read that book specifically and get a new buddy thread created. Up to you.

Can I still count my book for number if I read 23% of my book in January?

Yes. Just let me know how much you read in February 😊

Hello! I have a bit of a conundrum - I just finished a audiobook that does not have a text version. It was 5 hours, so the page count on Goodreads is 5 pages, but if there was a text version, it would be more than 100 pages. I'm not sure how to convert the hours to pages to use it for this challenge

4 hrs and 47 mins = 287 mins (4*60 = 240 + 47)
287*150 words per min = 43,050 words
43,050/250 words per page = 172.2 pages

So, round down to 172 pages.
