I had the same problem this past year (just with different numbers), and I am going the same route as you. This new year is my year and I WILL make my goal :) Good luck!!

❀ Oo ❀ wrote: "@ Mr. Patrick

I'm sorry, but I am a little bit confused by this...does this mean that I find my original post on here where I have my first book posted, and just click "edit" each time I add a new book/cross one out? Or do I start a new comment? Sorry, I'm new to this sort of thing on here.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

People do both, Natalie. Either is fine. It is nice (but not mandatory), if you edit your original post, to give us an update and a link to it. This might be helpful, if you don't know how: How to Hyperlink to a Specific Post or Bookshelf.
