You can renew it but if you don't finish it and another person gets it, you loose all the work you did on the book.

The way I understand it you have a week to validate the book or it goes back into the validation pool. Are you allowed to completely read the book if it is a book you enjoy? What happens if you don't finish it in a week? Can someone else validate it? I mean, what if I am reading the book and don't finish it all in a week? Thanks a lot. Kerri
