Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 5588 comments 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?

Chelsea (chelseaanne) 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 haven't finished a book yet, Chelsea Anne, so I'm not quite sure what is happening. 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?
