Thank you so much Richard! That really does make things easier.
Another thing, can you all please post your totals when you post your updates? I'm doing my best to keep up with them, but as of right now there are over 200 participants in this challenge, and when you only post that you completed a book and nothing else, I have to do the math to figure out how much you have read. It's not that I can't, but it adds a lot of extra work to the updating process, and I can't promise that my records are as accurate as yours are.

Actually Pixie, it doesn't matter if you all post at different times, I check as often as I can, and you are absolutely right about keeping the running totals! See my above post.
But Richard is right too. For the heavy readers (the ones that read over 100 books a year), having them post only once or twice a month does make things easier on us Mods than when they post after every single book.
In all honesty, how ever you chose to post your running total is fine with me. For me, I check your original posts for updates, and any new posts. I do my best to get to it at least once a week. I have been running behind so far this year due to illness and a vacation, but I am dedicating the next few days to catching up (I won't let myself start The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy until I do!).
As always, I am so happy to see us all share our love of reading, and I love being one of your Mods.

Great! We would love to have you. How many pages would you like to read this year? and how many pages were in the two books you read?
Ok, I have read through all the posts, and I hope I caught everyone and their updates. If I missed you, please let me know.
You are amazing Ka!dijah! Thank you.
Sorry about the exclamation point.
