[Amber]

I'm in and will post my list as I finish more books. I've only finished one so far this month because I was on vacation without books.

If I read an anthology and a category fits one of the stories, can I use the book here? Obviously I'd only use the book for one of the categories, even if multiple categories fit different stories. For example, the book I have read this month is Cupid Cats and the main character of the first story is a wildlife officer. Could I use it for the law enforcement category?

Sherry,

You can change your list anytime you like. That will not post any problem.

For the tracking, what we focus on is the number of books completed and the date you finished reading them.

You definitely can use an anthology for the challenges. You can use the book one time, or you can break it apart, and use the individual novellas. Your choice.
