Lindy, I need you to post what book(s) you read for each task you completed. It's part of the rules and it helps me to know what you've completed. I go by everyone's posts - when they complete a task, they post what task they've completed, the book they read for it, how many points they have and how many books they've read. This is what I use to update my points spreadsheet. If I see a discrepency (or if someone else notices after I've posted a Leaderboard), I can go back to the task list check what they show as completed against what my spreadsheet has for them.
Once you do that, I can add you to the Leaderboard. Thanks! :)
