Attention Participants!! DO NOT create a separate post that copies your original post when you complete your challenge!!!I am tracking participation, and when a sign up post is updated then copied to announce you are done, it is very confusing and difficult for me to get an accurate count! Just make an announcement post that says "Finished in Message X (X is your original post's message number)!", so I know where to find your finished post.
ALSO, IF YOU DO NOT PUT A COMPLETION DATE ON ANY BOOKS LISTED IN YOUR POST, I WILL NOT MARK YOU AS PARTICIPATING IN THE CHALLENGE!!

Hi Trea, I have just been marking my books as I complete them. Do I need to be doing something different?
Lisa wrote: "⚜Trea⚜ wrote: "Hi Trea, I have just been marking my books as I complete them. Do I need to be doing something different?"No, you're doing just fine, but when you complete the challenge DO NOT copy that entire big post! Just make a separate comment and say "Finished in Message 8!", so I can congratulate you!
Lisa wrote: "FINISHED in Message 8."Congrats, Lisa!
Elizabeth wrote: "Finished in 6 here is what I read..."
Congrats, Elizabeth! This is a duplicate posting of Message 6 and has been deleted due to my request in Message 15 to not post your entire original post in your finishing announcement.

Sorry about that , I accidently posted repost it here , because I was doing another challenge where we had to repost our challenge when we was finished.
Elizabeth wrote: "Sorry about that , I accidently posted repost it here , because I was doing another challenge where we had to repost our challenge when we was finished."I've heard about that other challenge quite a bit since I made the announcement earlier in the month!
I keep track of participation on an Excel spreadsheet and by manually counting each entry, so duplicate posting really messes me up when I do my counts on the fifth of every month! The only way I can think of to combat the problem is to request that participants not duplicate post their original posts, and delete them if they do so by habit accident.
It's nothing personal, it's just for record keeping purposes, so that I know what to bring back on a monthly/yearly basis.

Thanks to Kay (Brigidsmomma) for the suggestion of this challenge!
The e-reader has made reading accessible for a lot of people that were previously unable to read due to failing eyesight or inability to hold the weightier hardcovers and paperbacks. It also allows people to have thousands of books, right at their fingertips, or gives them the ability to hide what they are reading (like me! Reading romances exclusively leads to some embarrassing covers being shown!).
