We have completed 5 spell-outs of our word with 2 currently in progress.
We have completed 3 tags, if you are unable to complete a book with a claimed task, please let us know as soon as possible.

When completing the s/sheet please ensure you are adding the read date when changing the status to complete. I have changed this to a pick list to make it easier.
