Nope. It can be any book(s) you read in the month of November! Just make sure to log it here as a continuous log. Like in other group challenges. And if you havent, then start logging it like that now!
Thanks everyone!

I don't understand. Is the to point show your reading progress over the 24/30/48 hours or tracking how long you read in the month?
Yes. Its a readathon accumulating hours that you read over the month of november. I put up the three stages so it wasnt all over the place and people can kind of get a guideline of where to begin.
