Lorelei (goodreadscomlorelei_reads) | 393 comments Please put me down for 7.


message 52: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3888 comments @Lorelei- I signed you up Lorelei! Good luck with the challenge :D

Important!
To everyone participating in this challenge. In other challenges I usually just post the participation list in every new page on the challenge. But, to keep it simple you can always see your updates on the first page of this challenge only unless there's many people opposed to this. Let me know what you prefer!


message 53: by Jodi (new)

Jodi (readinbooks) | 1971 comments I think it is easier if you just keep the updates on the first page. Doesn't really matter though. Sometimes it is hard to find the updates scrolling through the pages.


message 54: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3888 comments Thanks for your input Jodi! I thought the same thing about scrolling through the page to find the list. It seems a bit more organizational this way (:
