Cassandra | 5832 comments Rachel, the search function is tricky because it doesn't allow you to search within a thread. I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but it's hard to keep track without bookmarking it. Member corners and personal challenge topics are more permanent.

Colleen, how many books have you read total for this challenge?

Welcome to the challenge, Gemma!
