2022 Summer Reading Challenge: Completion Thread

[Jackie, Solstitial Mod]

Here's where to post once you've completed your summer reading challenge! Remember, you need at least 5000 points to be eligible for a raffle entry. Please wait to post here until you have completed your challenge, rather than updating a post throughout the season, otherwise I may miss your entry.

When submitting an entry, please give me at least a first name and last initial. You'd be surprised which names are common!

Update:
As we work our way through the summer challenge, the mods ask that you post your completion thread as soon as you complete the point challenge so that we can verify it. Please post links to the editions you read, and post your entire completed challenge in one box. Thanks for your help in making this a smooth process!

Hopefully this works this time!🤗

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Yes, we need to know what edition you’re posting so we can verify that the edition you read meets the parameters. If it’s a plot or title based prompt, you don’t need links, but if it’s specific to the edition (pub date, page numbers, cover, etc), we need a link.

Also, we would love for you to post as soon as you finish so we can check it now rather than having them all completed at the end of August! Just to help us with time constraints! Thanks!
