The Twelve Towers Challenge
Lisa Kay wrote: "Looks great, Sandy!"Thanks, Lisa Kay! I gave myself a lot of time. :-)
I would like to do this challenge but I want to make sure that I have this correct. So I have quite a few questions. Sorry. The 12 books acquired is purchased books correct or is that for the 9 books? the 11 books can be books that I have on my bookshelf at home too as well as on GR? and the 3 books are re-reads right? Sorry to go on and on.

However you acquire them, Carmen, if fine. They may be purchased or given to you as gifts. Hopefully, they won't be stolen. But, I don't see why they can't be borrowed.

Yes.

Correct.

Lovely challenge.. but then all of them are :)Am in but have one small question...Its regarding the recently acquired books category.. I just bought about 15-20 books before I saw this challenge.. Some of them just came yesterday. Can I use them for this category or do I really need to buy new books after the start date??? Asking because, while I won't mind buying new books, my husband will simply freak out :D :D :D

Thanks. I'm new in here and I thought all these challenges looked fun. I was thinking of starting with the All about you quiz, but thought this one was an easier way to make a list. Because it didn't have to contain specific letters.And I'll try the All about you quiz later :)
Mod
I'm really, really sorry if I haven't updated in a long time in my challenges. I feel guilty really. Don't worry I'm taking note of what I read for the challenges. I'm the paper-and-pencil type of person. I write everything down.
And I'll really try my best to update things here if I have time..
Million apologies again.
