[LaurLa]

Hi team - I asked in Q&A if articles count as part of title word count.

This seems pretty easy task. Maybe?

[Louise]

LaurLa articles count, I’m waiting for an answer on whether a subtitle counts.

I’ve got this lined up

Monday: Sweet Romance by Lily Rose
The cover shows it as one word.

[LaurLa]

Yeah, I saw that. No biggie. I still have plenty one-word titles.

[Louise]

I’ll have mine done by tomorrow

[Cheryl]

i just finished a one word titled book should i add it to finish the task or should i wait for louise?

[Stacie]

Wait for Louise. I think we need to have one for each person unless Louise is using a pass. I think we can wait. I have a backup as well if needed but we should be good.

Great Job Team. Just wondering how many other challenges are you guys doing at the same time?

[Stacie]

I was doing a bunch of individual ones but gave up because my reading is already impacted enough. So I'm doing about 4 or 5 others I think right now, mostly team challenges.

[Cheryl]

wow that's insane this is my first team challenge and i'm doing a meet and greet. i find myself reading more when people tell me what to read or if it's a challenge.
