Hi. I just saw this challenge and want to join it. Two questions -1. Can I upgrade my level later. i mean if I go for Easy in the beginning but discover that I read more, can i upgrade it to Medium?
2. I have already read some of the books in 2014. But since I am just joining this challenge, am not sure if I can add it here as already read. Can i do that? Will only include those that I have read in 2014.
Mod
Yes, you can certainly upgrade later and use any books read so far in 2014 :)
Thanks Karen :) Will update my books soon :)
