You'll be able to claim the pages, but not the buddy read ☺


message 319: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 91107 comments Mod
With reards to books not started in June - you may claim any pages read in June, but you can only claim pages, you won't be able to use any books started before June (or shorter than 100 pages) to complete any of the descriptions, and you won't be able to claim buddy read points for books started before June ☺

So, if you are finishing a book in June that you started in May, you are welcome to post the book and review on your team thread, and claim the number of pages read in June ☺


And with regards to posting lots of reviews all at once, we ask that everybody be up-to-date with posting their reviews by the 25th of June please, just so everybody knows where their team stands with time still to change things ☺
