Hey guys! New member here. Is there a trick to seeing the original posts showing what to do in these challenges? I can’t seem to find it in this challenge or in the TBR challenge 😅

The only instruction is to read a book that matches the prompt (one prompt per book). Most participants copy and paste the list of prompts for their own comment, and keep track by putting X/12 and the book title link (can be found on the upper right hand corner of the comment box if you're on a computer) with each new book read for the challenge.
There are no page limits or format limits to keep things simple.
I hope that helps!
