I guess I can ..."I posted only one because the first list had more clear tasks, some in the other were potentially a little confusing and this were thought to be a challenge for those who felt Popsugar etc. a little overwhelming. That said if you guys want to it's no problem posting the other part too and let you decide how you want to do it :)
Updated. Do you guys want me to post the second part too? That doesn't mean you have to do it though or you can mix them and just give me the number of books you read :)
Yes. Please do post the second part. :)
