What info do I need to post about the stats?
Congrats, Sandy! That's twice in a row, isn't it? Awesome!
Marla, this thread is just for posting updates... Try over here for more info about the challenge: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3...As for tips... I dunno. Update as you go or you could be sitting at your computer for 2 hours trying to get all caught up! ;) I've modified my spreadsheet so much that it pretty much runs itself... :)
Congrats Sandy! I think you wait on stats until the end of the challenge. Especially since you post the book that hits the most shelves.
This will be my final report for this season. I did better than I did last time, at least.23 books

Thanks! The best thing about this challenge is it keeps me from getting in a rut - I like the incentive to find different kinds of books.
