I totally know what you mean by TBR growing during this challenge. People are reading so many interesting books that I have never heard about😁

For the "Reverse" card, does it go by picking a book that is just on any members "read" shelf from whenever or is it a buddy read situation that has to happen during the month?

Hi Kristel - since there a couple who are having trouble using the spreadsheet, have you considered asking for a Books Read thread where anyone who needs you to add their book to the spreadsheet can post? That way you don't accidentally lose it in the midst of regular thread chatter.
Ok thank you! I will try to take care of some of the reverse cards!
LaurLa wrote: "Hi Kristel - since there a couple who are having trouble using the spreadsheet, have you considered asking for a Books Read thread where anyone who needs you to add their book to the spreadsheet ca..."Yeah, I have thought about it but decided against it. For me, having a separate thread will cause an extra step that I don't want. It's way easier to track one thread than two. Besides, the number of comments here aren't that overwhelming that won't be able to keep track of everything:)

to message 7.Do you mean the checkmark in column 1? You don't have access to it. It's just for me and Franziska to communicate that one of us has added it to the main spreadsheet:)
We still have one WD4 unclaimed!You can duplicate either 8 Blue📘 or 8 Yellow📒. If any of you find something, let me know.
