ooh... I just realised (& we're coming to the end of the challenge) that it's not clear on the instruction though we did deal with this months ago. Only books read for the challenge can be used for skipping category.

okay, good to know, thank you.

Hooray! I was just able to use a book for three different months and I did meet (1) & (2) .

[Lisette]

That's great Karin!

Tien, when I post my December list, how do I handle the item (f) which I am skipping? So far, I have earned at least 5 skips, but I have never claimed one.

[Tien]

Just post the 2 you're using to claim your skip & note which cards you read them for, Bea.

Thanks, Tien.

I have a question, for letter J, can I use the same author like James Patterson for author's first name but a different book?

[Tien]

Same author? As in you've used him before for another month? Yes, you can.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Yes, I used him before for another month. Although I found another author with a J as a first name.

I have a question, if I haven't finished some of my October or November books am I out of luck for claiming them?

You have until Dec 31 to claim them, Jayme.

But for Dec letters, you have until Jan 31 to finish :)

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Okay, cool, I might get them done then.

It will not, Marie, but do not fear, we have a terrific new challenge coming for 2018. You'd love it too! ;D

This is the second time we've done Scattershelves so may see another edition some time in the future :)

Phew! Although I could take another pass, I'd rather not.

Kompetitive Karin ;)
