Hey! I just sent out your Reading Journals, do check your email.
I hope you all enjoy the journal..It’s my first try at making a journal so nothing fancy.😃

Caroline do we have to go straight down the list - meaning 1. is Jan, 2. is Feb and so on, or can we skip around as long as we read one book a month?

[♥ Sandi ❣]

Oh I may have found my answers in your Chapter Chat

I see in How It Works
#2 "Go at Your Own Pace: Feeling ambitious? Read ahead! Need to take your time? That’s okay too. The challenge is flexible to fit your schedule. You can complete the prompts in any order too. "

So we can complete more than one prompt a month and we can do the prompts in any order - correct?

It is easier for me to list them now and then follow the list, than to try monthly to come up with a book. Not that I might not change a few, but at least I have a somewhat static guide to go by.

Just completed my first prompt.

[Mansi]

Do we have to just inform here any 1 book of prompts finished

No not necessary but sharing what you are reading for a particular prompt may be motivating to others to pick up the same book and will help keep the challenge active.
