Sarah | 35 comments I am just amazed at how many you all are getting red (read)!!!!!!!! I do have 2 done so far. Ok, can anyone post "the easy way to post my list" Is it best to just type in a reply comment like I just did and keep a list elsewhere?


message 42: by Pollopicu (new)

Pollopicu Hi Sarah. Thank you.

If you have an existing list of books you'd like to post, you can just copy and paste them from a text document on your computer in the same thread you start your challenge in. Otherwise you'll have to type them out one at a time.
