For this challenge we will see how many books we read as a group through the month of August. Here are the rules:
1. The books you post must be finished in August
2. You do not need to include the page numbers for each book
3. Please try to use the add book/author link when posting
4. Please remember to include your number of books and to add to the group total as you go
5. Please do not edit your post as that will cause confusion, instead as you go along just create a new post each time
6. There will be no points for prizes for this challenge, the main goal of it is to see how as a group we are reading, and to find out what each other are reading.
7. Also because this is a little late you may add books you read at the beginning of the month!

Jonel Just to clarify, my post would be...

1... book title
2... book title

(for my new reads)

My total: total of books read this month.
Group total: total everyone's read this month (my new books + group total from previous post)


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

To clarify the post will look something like this:
User 1:
book title
number of books: 1
group total: 1

User 2:
Book titles
number of books: 2
group total: 3

User 3:
Book titles
number of books: 4
group total: 7

Makes sense?
