Team Update – Round Two Begins! 🎉📚

We’ve officially reached the point where all Round 1 tasks have been claimed. Amazing work, everyone! 🙌 That means it’s time to kick off Round 2, even if we don't have much time left.

Here’s how it will work:

You can start claiming Round 2 tasks once you’ve finished all of your Round 1 tasks.

If you claim a task in Round 2 and finish it before the Round 1 version of that task is completed, your book will count for Round 1 and the other person’s book will be shifted to Round 2.

This way, we keep Round 1 moving forward while still making progress into Round 2.

Another Update

I may be able to finish one more book for the challenge for round 1 so people are welcome to steal any of my tasks. It's been busier than expected for me recently so I haven't been reading as much.
