Just some notes:

Completed countries are highlighted in light blue.
Open countries are highlighted in light orange.
We are all not using the same countries, so to ensure the rows line up, I've simply added the name of the country in where appropriate as (country name). Legend for above is at top of page.

Amanda: number of countries open from your posts matches the number I'm showing. You might want to double-check that they are the right ones.

Gail: I made the assumption from your posts that any country with a book title was completed. When I did that you only had 4 open and not the number you show in the post. Either you can highlight the completed ones, or just tell me which country number it is and I can do that.

Celia: I couldn't get yours to tie out either. I took the completed list from your message 10 in the posts but it doesn't add up to enough. I highlighted those anyway, but if you want to tell me which other are completed, I can highlight or you can do.

Me: I don't have any books listed in my column. If you want me to put them in just let me know. The highlights are correct.

Please, please, please - any questions, just ask. any suggestions, just shout!

Amanda Dawn | 302 comments Very cool idea and thanks for putting in the work. Gail! I just sent you a request to view it as it doesn't have universal access.

Fixed! Gave you editor access since your data is on there!

Gail (gailifer) | 270 comments It is funny that we all have different lists.
This looks great Gail. Thank you for doing this.
I count that I have 22 countries to finish plus 3 that the books just didn't seem right, either the author was not from the country or the action did not take place in that country. Those three are: Somalia, Belarus and Croatia. You have the correct 22 marked orange. However, I would say that I had finished San Marino which you have also marked orange.
If you keep all the orange, except San Marino, add Somalia, Belarus and Croatia to orange and turn everything else to blue I think that is correct.
Again, thank you

I'll take whatever little plus marks I can get - I'm going to need them!
Try this again. I actually left it open so you should have access.

It will take me a while to get it done, but I will do a little every day. Thanks again Gail.

This is weird. Okay, I just saw your request and set that. Please try again now.

Amanda Dawn | 302 comments I Just edited mine, and should be good now. Thanks a bunch again for doing this, Gail! I also put on books from the places outside of my standard list that I have read, in case that gives others some book ideas.
