Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Krista, me too! That's why I'm always behind on my buddy reads. Lol I was thinking I could read ALL DAY since I have a day off but I just remembered that I have progress reports due tomorrow and a large pile of papers to grade. Ugh...can't wait to retire!

This year I am teaching Computer, reading, and either health or creative drama. It depends on the quarter.

We have built in DEAR time this year so I have been reading more, but this weekend I wasn't very focused so I need to stay after and finish my lessons for the week. Oops. I had my eval last week so I was very focused on doing well for that.

Stephanie (msstephanimichelle) | 4 comments Has anyone else noticed that their Reading Challenge books list isn't updating? mine says 32 read but is only showing about 25 in the list. It's missing the last 8 or so books on my "read" shelf. I've checked they have the right finished dates, and it's adding to the number total, just not displaying properly.

Make sure books you have read have a date where you finished reading them added. You got to put in at least the year you read it in for it to show up in the reading challenge area to count.

Ex.
avg rating rating shelves date read date added

Make sure all applicable areas are marked.
