[Brenda]

Joining on this!

Mary wrote: "Do we edit our post when we read a book or post a new one?"

I always edit my original post after I finish a book. Then I make a new post with the book I read, and letting the leader of the challenge know how many I have completed. It makes it easier for them to keep the challenge score updated. :)

[Cassandra]

Mary, that's up to you, but if you update your original post, please make a new post telling me so I can update you.

I keep my master list in my member corner and just post updates here, so Daphne and I are good examples of different styles.
