Wow! That's some great catching up, Nicolle! :D

Hey Z, I think it is two books she just forgot the spacing.

[★Meghan★]

Uh-oh! I better watch myself Nicolle is awfully close to me...

[Zakiya]

Aaah. Thanks, Meghan. I didn't notice that.

LOL! You better get back on it, Meg! Everyone is coming back with a vengence!

[★Meghan★]

Grrrrr....Working on it, working on it...

I have about 6 or 7 tasks in the works.

[Zakiya]

Aaah :) You'll be back in the lead in no time, then. I have maybe 2 in the process of being finished right now. I ususally just read whatever and add it to a task after I finish it.

[★Meghan★]

Me too! That is my problem. I am just reading random books and adding them into the spot with the most points that they fit.

[Zakiya]

Exactly. I'm not exactly reading random books (mine are for 12x12, etc.), but it's just that I always forget to add them to the plan before. There are a few books I think that I never even put on a task!

This is the way I do it too. I write out books that I think will work for the challenge but I am constantly changing them and slotting them in different areas. lol

[Zakiya]

Nahh, I never change them after I plan them out; it's just that I always end up reading books that I didn't plan. So then I have to add them to the list as I finish.

[Nicolle]

Have fixed:)

[Zakiya]

Thanks :)
