It can. It can be any book club from anywhere. Oprah's book club is another popular one. It can be from an online book club you've heard of. I'll be very lenient in guidelines for this challenge. It's for fun...not to stress over. lol

Yes, it is! Welcome Judy! It's a year long challenge so plenty of time to fulfill all directives. No worries, just have fun!

You might want to copy & paste the directives into your post by editing it. Then as you read titles that fulfill a directive, just post the title beside the directive you're using it for.

Sandra, is that what is meant when people refer to their tracker link?

Sandra Hoover (sandrahoover) | 11211 comments Mod
Yes, Judy, it is. Your msg. 46 is your Tracker post. Each time you read a book that fulfills one of the 41 directives, edit your post and add the title of the book you read beside the directive you think it fullfills. I see you've already updated one. When you come to this group to update your tracker, you can click on your name in the list in msg. 2, and it will quickly take you to your tracker post for updating.

Let me know if you need any help. I'm happy to help any way I can.
