I've changed your level Jeanne.

You can only edit the messages that you post that's why you weren't able to change it.

[Christine]

I'm changing my level to bookworm.

Done

[Nell]

With the book I finished this morning, I'm halfway to my goal - Bookworm. Now that the NCAA basketball tournaments are over, I can get back to reading. :D

[[deleted user]]

Since I'm on book 11 or 12 for bookworm, I think I'll change my level to Avid Reader. I'm pretty sure I'll get at least 13 in, if not the whole 16.

Anastasia - Prescription For Murder by Jessica Fletcher doesn't work for the Mississippi task. You need both M and S.

Julesy - For the psychic task, the main character has to be psychic or have paranormal ability.

[Julesy]

Oh, sorry! I didn't catch that. Thanks, Nell. I'll remove the book. I think I will have enough books to eventually get "promoted".

[Marisa]

I've already updated message 9 with my new books (and I've rearranged some of them too...). Bookworm at this moment, but I don't know the final stage.

Jeannie - It looks like you counted The Cracked Spine twice. Books can only count for one task. It doesn't work for the MS tasks (no M). It does work for the life change task.

Nell, I'm bumping up to the Avid Reader level. Thanks :)

[Anastasia]

Nell I thought Murder she wrote was part of the title as it is in large letters on the cover. If not then I will look for another.

Finished my partnership book Throw in the Trowel

Not that it's super important, but I suspect my message about changing my level to avid reader was missed. I've changed it my challenge post though.

[Nell]

Paisley and Barb - Your level has been updated.

Anastasia wrote: "Nell I thought Murder she wrote was part of the title as it is in large letters on the cover. If not then I will look for another. "

Murder She Wrote is the name of the series not the title of the book. Since the books are an offshoot of the TV show, the large letters are for marketing purposes as is claiming the author is a fictional character. Perhaps you can use this for another challenge task. For example, there are more than 20 books in this series.

Well, I have been doing way better than I expected. Waiting in too many doctor's offices and snowy and rainy afternoons, I guess. So now I need another upgrade. Thanks so much. This has really been fun.
