I have a question about the challenge, two really-I want to change one of the books I picked. I started it, but don't want to keep reading- though I still want to complete the challenge.
The second question- is it ok to reread a book to fill one of the challenge spots?
Thanks! (Sorry if these questions are already answered somewhere else).
Hi Michaele - you can swap books around as much as you like (you don’t need to stick with your original picks). And rereads are fine.
