You've done it again, Tien! Such a great sounding challenge. I'm not sure I totally understand but like everyone else here... I'm in anyway!

I'll say 10 books per prompt to start with but may go higher one we get started.

I didn't see this question by Meg answered: do the mini challenges count towards the goal we set per prompt or are they additional?
