Yes, anything finished today and onwards . If there's extra pages you can add it in your next read's page count

Yes, I'll get Sarah to make a spread or document soon but just say it in your Team for now
Mod
Fine...they count
Mod
Read the first message of your team + the announcements page.
For now we're all trying to get the thing going.
So try & earn points for your team which you can do by READING.
It you read a book with 378 pages.
That's 3 points
In the next book you read, if it has 465 pages. You can add up the extra pages too so
465+78=543 pages, or 5 points and 43 pages you can use later.
Again, will get Sarah to make a Spread or Document(with column margins) in a second. Until then use bold to say whatever you'll read from now on in your Team Chat
do pages from audiobooks count?
Mod
YES. All Teams will have equal no. If rules. Once everything officially starts you must follow them but you can do anything if there's no ruke against it
Mod
Yes, reading, audiobook, listening to someone read it to you...as long as you're learning the contents of the book it counts. Just know how many pages
when we log the no. of pages read, do we have to give the name of the book we read or is the no. of pages enough??
Mod
Book name | Author Name | Pages | Points. Just wait for the damn document
ok so you said "For Poetry Collections, Graphic Novels, Illustrated Children's, Manga etc, one whole volume/book= One Point."even if the book isnt 100 pages?
Mod
even if the book isnt 100 pages?"
No, the book needs to be a minimum of 100 pages. If it's a short story add the pages to your next read's page count.
I usually read my books on my phone and the format i have is like: 300 or something pages on physical ones are like 1000 pages on my phone. So can I do like 350 pages and call it 1 point and I specify it as read in my phone?For example:
352 pages= 1 point (phone format)
Mod
Phone format is prolly gonna mess it up. Just use the page amount of your physical copy or what it says on Goodreads about the edition

How do audiobooks count?
Mod
Because, dearest friend Yusra Surname1-SN2, while you're not doing the actual act of 'reading' words on a paper, audiobooks hold the same content as their book counterparts. And some people just cannot read due of a variety of reasons like disabilities, lack of time, etcetera. When someone says Audiobooks count as reading, they're using reading as a general term. A large number of people who love reading and wish to read cannot do so and thus use audiobooks as a way to 'read' stories they love. Or nonfiction. Whatever it is.
Besides, there's no point in not including audiobooks. There's no difference in retention and comprehension of an average reader vs listener of a book, and so you wouldn't be able to tell who has listened vs read the book anyways. And listening to a book while paying attention to what's happening in the book also requires focus and brain power. It's not a passive activity unless you make it. The passive aggresive response is because I've had to answer this exact question twice in the last twenty hours, once by your own sister, and thus I'm taking out all the frustration on you.
TL;DR: Why not?
