Should we do a post for each word or do all of them in our initial post?
Tiffany wrote: "Should we do a post for each word or do all of them in our initial post?"If you can fit them all in your initial post, do that please. Due to character constrictions, you may not be able to fit it all in one if you're doing all the words like Richard is, but for my participation recordkeeping, having as few posts as possible is best.

Jeanne Brown"If you just keep track on a sheet of paper as you read this month, you can edit your post above and add in your word/words and books read once you get internet, or when/if you're able to get to a library with internet access. Even though the challenge ends on the last day of the month, I don't do participation counts until the 5th of the following month, to give folks time to update posts with final books read. So, as long as you post something up in your original post I replied to by July 5th at 5 am EST (Which is when I usually get up and on the computer by), you'll be counted among the participants!

Congrats, Michele! You're welcome to try another word for the month, if you'd like, since it is so early on in said month...no worries though if you don't finish the second word or don't feel up to it!
I think I might. Do I just continue in my originally post?Thanks
