Thanks! At least I'm in good company there! ;)
jingles, if book #1 from a series is on one of my chosen lists, but I'm up to book #6 in that series, will that work for this challenge? Or, since not everyone reads in order the way I do, if book #6 is on the list but I haven't yet started the series, is that ok?
Mod
Yes, Barb - it's perfectly fine to switch those series books out according to where you are in the series (or if you haven't started the series yet). As long as a book representing that series is on the list - any book of that series will work.
Mod
I need to re-think my strategy for working on and completing reading challenges...because right now, I'm very bad at both. Lol

FYI, the Listopia search function has been "temporarily disabled" for at least the past 24 hours -- at least for me -- and it's incredibly frustrating.
Mod
Looks like it is working now, Barb.

Yay, finally! I got so annoyed by it, I stopped trying, so thanks for letting me know :)
Mod
*snort* This is GR, remember? Expecting something to stay fixed is like expecting to win the lottery :D I went through a handful of possible lists last night, though, so at least for now, I'm in relatively good shape re: this challenge.
Mod
Glad you are good to go for now, Barb.
