Hi Ed! - I'm sorry, I did miss it. I was flying through here too fast this morning and didn't pay attention.

You do NOT have to complete the seasons in order. You can work on all the seasons at the same time. So you don't have to completed the tasks for season 1 before moving on to season 2.

And none of the tasks have to be worked in order. So this whole challenge (all seasons) can be worked at the same time.

The only requirement is that if you want to just do some of the challenge, you have to complete all the tasks for at least one full season in order to count the challenge as finished.

Does that make sense?

If it helps to look back, I think I've completed 8 or nine seasons, and none of them have been in order. I just slotted books in as I read them wherever they would fit.

I hope that helps.
