Hi Zeejane
No need to post an update comment each time you revise your goal for this challenge or any of the group's other challenges.
You can simply let the challenge leader know at the time you post your first update comment. 😊

[oshizu]

When Are the Participants Lists Updated?

Every challenge leader has their own schedule and style for updating their challenges.
For Serial Reader, I will be updating Ze Lists on the 16th (for the 1st-15th of that month) and the 1st (for the 16-end of the previous month).
Personally, I only post update comments for my own reading on the 15th and last day of each month.

I'm only updating more frequently now due, obviously, to more folks signing up for Serial Reader.
After the first week or so, I'll only be checking this thread on the 16th and 1st.

[Sahira]

I practically read just books that are in series. Please sign me up for 20 books.
