Nancy H | 767 comments Just so I know how to report, I am adding this info to my thread.

. Challenge Progress: Identify where you are in the challenge – Badge 1, book 1 (2, 3, 4, etc.)
2. List Card
3 Specify Yay or Nay, and Category
4. Link to book read. REQUIRED: If the cover is part of the task, link the cover of the edition you read as well.
5. List the number of pages of the edition you read. If an ebook or audiobook also give the number of pages of the paper edition (refer general rules on page numbers).
6. Give a very brief summary of the task.
7. State how the book fits the criteria.
8. Specifications required in the task. Some tasks require that you report a specific thing. IE – a task requires that you read a book from a Listopia. You need to identify which position number the book is on the list so that it can be verified.

Sample: Say I’ve read 5 books in the Badge 1 section:

1. Badge 1, Book 5
2. Card 1
3. Yay Task - Geography
4. Link – My Life in France
5. Listened to Audiobook, Hardcover edition is 336 pages
6. Read a book set in France.
7. The book is a memoir of Julia Child's life in France.
8. No specifications.

Requesting a badge:

When you finish a badge requirement, you will need to post in the Year Long Reporting Thread as follows:

WoF Name ________________

Badge Requesting (One, Two, Three or Four)
1. Card, Task, link to Title
2. Card, Task, link to Title
3.
4…… continuing to 12

Sample:

WoF - Janice

Badge One completed
1. Card 1, Yay Geography, My Life in France
2. Card 5, Nay Entertainment, The Vampire's Bride
3.
4….. continuing to 12.

Keep your reporting in your personal thread and in the general report thread neat and concise with no extraneous wordage. This makes it easier for me to verify.

You may use gifs in your personal thread to your heart's content, just not in the reporting messages.

Hi Cherie,
Yes, after I had 11 people staying with me and cooking for about 15 every day for almost two weeks over the holidays, I decided after the holidays to give myself some reading days!! Then, of course, I had to go back to real life!
