I'm starting over again in 2013 but as part of the Romantic Times convention reading challenge in another group. I don't think I'll finish it next year either but there's no harm in keeping track right?

Do you realize that there is no "2013" on the date options? I added a book I finished this morning and there is no way to set today's date--there is no 2013 option. Does anyone know when that problem will be fixed?

I checked the GRs Feedback Group, and no body is posting a problem...yet. There are several ways to indicate you have finished a book. Which way are you doing?

The problem was fixed. Thanks. :-)

I know the feeling Diane. I've gotten to the point where I don't even really try...I just see if it happens :-P
updated 258 twice. Going over other lists trying to find books to fill my empty spaces I found a book I forgot to list so I'm at 29 of 50 with slightly less than 6 months to go.
