Yup, you can use that.

[Jolien]

I'm reading a book for the letter M (the book is schaduwen boven ulldart) but it might take me some days to read it! Is that okay for everyone?:)

[Aly]

How about if someone finishes an M first, they post it? And if not, you can have the letter? I don't want to keep putting books on hold.

Also, I can help you come up with another letter if M is taken

Vicki wrote: "Does the X word have to start with X or do we have alternatives we can use?"

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... that is a good question. I know you can find words that start with X if you are reading the right book. I guess I should allow words that have the letter X in them as well.

[Vicki]

If it can include words with an X, I will have one shortly. Let me know what you decide.

What happens if two people post something for the same letter at the same time?

I posted one for I but it's gone.

You're book was still marked as currently reading so I removed the post. You can only post for objects when you complete the book.

And if two people post for one and both books are finished, we would just switch one to the next letter.

Oh, I thought it counted but you only get the points for the pages read?

[Dr. Andy]

Normally you would only count something for pages points if:

-it was started before the time frame of the challenge, then you only count the pages read during the challenge
-the challenge is ending and you won't finish it before then
-it is not over 100 pages and won't count for a category
-it is a graphic novel or book in verse that doesn't meet the page requirement

I don't think your book would fall into any of these scenarios though. But once you do finish it we can count it for an object.
