Aly is so frigging bored wrote: "I'm in!I'm picking MEDIUM"
Which books are you reading and which tasks are you choosing?
You have more than 4 of each listed.

I listed mre because I might want to read more, I'm not sure which. Is that a problem?
Aly is so frigging bored wrote: "I listed mre because I might want to read more..."If you want to read more than just the 4 books, you can choose a higher difficulty level, but you may only read one book per task.
I changed, hope it's ok now.

I think I have everyone linked up. If I missed you, please let me know!
I don't always use my WTR list in goodreads. I normally grab free books as they come in my emails or buy books that interest me and and shelve on a to read shelf at home until I need something new. I hope it's still ok that I can't fill in that date. I am going for Read-a-holic and am going to try and empty some of my WTR books from my Nook this month :)1.
