So can it be a compound word with the word in it? Like if I read Evermore does that count for March's "more?"

Yes, absolutely!

Thanks. I saw that on the opening but I wasn't sure if it applied to compound words. This is very helpful.

[Celia]

If I read most of a book that fits one month's word, but finish it on the first of the next month, can I still count it for a previous month's word?

Yes.

Just a quick question JoAnne. I know it says don't read ahead but can we play catch up if we get behind. I picked out my book for January and started to read it on January 31st (got about 15 pages read). It was my intention to stay home and relax (mostly read) all day but then I got called into work. I had no choice but to go in for the shift so I didn't get back to the book. Can I finish it this month and count it for last month?

Thanks JoAnne. Life was really tough last year and the beginning of this year so my reading really suffered. Hopefully things calm down now and I can get more reading in and also manage to get all my challenges updated. I'm behind on that too!!
