I can't plan much ahead either. As soon as I list books for a challenge-they become "work". I need to list them as I go or maybe a few ahead.

If you list the book and the author like some of us do, you won't have space for all 144. I think I ran out of characters when listing my 11th category. that means there'll be no space to finish listing all books read or striking out read books and giving them stars. So I had to do like Lisa Kay and others and break it into two.
But if you only list the books, you might end up having enough characters left.
hope this helps!

I like your number 12 too and number 4 - wow 5 challenges for each...




Isn't that the only way to do it?
