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.
