Do we need to put the date read also?

[Stormie ~ Book Dragon ~]

Cassandra,
I am new to this. :) I filled in the two I have matched up or "spied." Currently reading The Book Thief and have not started on The Big Four. I do plan to do them all and will fill in dates when done. ;)

[Cassandra]

You don't necessarily need to put the date read, it just helps me know that they are finished for sure. I asked because I want to make sure I credit you what you need. :)

[Voracious_reader]

Not quite sure of how to get credited. :)

This might be fun... can we double-dip from the quarter challenges or is this a unique 25 from those?

[Jodi]

Kathleen, you can use one book across the different challenges. You just can't use them more than once within the same challenge.
