Hi Jan - that is a low count. The book needs to to be 175 pages in print.

Also, the Toppler doesn't officially start until Saturday (tomorrow, Feb 17th) 12 pm Eastern Standard Time, so that's when you can start reading, and it ends 12 pm Eastern on Saturday, Feb 24th which is when you will stop reading. So books can't be reported until after the start date/time.
Sorry if there was some confusion in the rules.

Oh, gosh, sorry! I appear to be making a hash of this and I apologize to you all. I promise to behave better and to pay more attention.

No worries, Jan. The first Toppler is a learning curve. I did the same thing on my first Toppler. 🙃
