Question on the monthly prompts. Can they only be done the month we're in or can we do any of the monthly prompts once we finish the original 25?

Thanks!

Yes, KSMary, you need to read something based on the theme of the month you're reading it in, so if you're planning to read now, it has to be November's theme of Glass.

However, since you're so close to finishing the investigation, I'd let you cheat and read a book based on any of the 12 monthly themes. Let's call it a tip from a very confidential source. *coughs*
