message 226: by Tina (new)

Tina | 155 comments I have a question. I need to update my books for my challenge. Do I need to post it here all the time for a moderator or can I just add my own books to my challenge. I'm a little confused. I would like to add for message #214 under E for character name: Eilis Lacey for the book Brooklyn. Thanks!


message 227: by Kadijah Michelle (new)

Kadijah Michelle (kadmich) | 2176 comments For Tina, and anyone else with this question,
There are a few ways to update you list.
You can have a message with the alphabet that you can edit as you go along, or you can keep up with the alphabet on your own.
Or you can add as you go along and add messages.

The easiest way for me to keep up with you all is to message like Kimberly's.
1/26 completed. I updated my message #75. Letter U for Ursula in Hausfrau by Jill Alexander Essbaum.

I keep a spread sheet with your name, the number of books you read, your book goal, the message you started keeping you goal, and the last day you posted.

We moderators try our best to give you the freedom to keep track of your goals the best way you know how, so don't feel you have to do things my way.


message 228: by Tina (new)

Tina | 155 comments Thank-you for clarifying. I wasn't sure if I could edit my message myself. Great!


message 229: by Kadijah Michelle (new)

Kadijah Michelle (kadmich) | 2176 comments I'm glad I could help you.

Everyone is all caught up!
