[Lori]

Can books for this challenge also be used for 12 x 12 in 2012?

[Mad Scientist]

Oh yes!! All the books read can be used for all the challenges on in this group. Double up, Triple up, Quad up! Make the book count! *smile*

happy reading!

[Lori]

Thanx Mad Sci. Now with this as far as the titles do you include "A, An, The" plus is it just the first word in the title that's used and what about "Hard" letters for either category such as Q, X and ????

[Mad Scientist]

I would not count A, An or The to the title.

I added in a note at the top for the hard letters.

For example of X... Hex Hall could work.

[Lori]

Got you. I assume it's just the first word in the title that's counted right?

[Mad Scientist]

That is how I'm going to do it. ;)

[Lori]

Sounds good to me. But with the author it's first and last unless that particular letter has been used.

[Mad Scientist]

For me the first or last name counts. Either or.

[Mad Scientist]

Your on top of it & I'm trying to add in my first book too! So excited to have #1 done!

I'm curious to see how close I can come with this one.

[Sharon]

Again, I've asked this in the other challenge...do we just update original post each time or do we repost the whole thing? :-)

[Mad Scientist]

You can keep updating your orginial post and let us know. Only a handful of us are doing this challenge.

[Lori]

Can someone please tell me how to make my titles click-able?

[★Meghan★]

Lori at the top of the comment box there is a little "add book/author" that is clickable. If you click that it will give you a pop-up box to search for books by title or ISBN or author etc. At the bottom of the pop-up box there are two radio buttons for either link or cover on how you want your book to appear. Then you click add next to the book you are reading.

[Lori]

Thanx Meghan. I'm learning slowly but surely.

[★Meghan★]

Not a problem! It is always nice to have new people around here! :)

[Mad Scientist]

@ Meghan, thanks for being on top of it. :)

@ Roseann. Yup, we are trying to pull out all kinds of fun challenges for this year!! Making reading fun instead & helping each other find new books.

[Mad Scientist]

Hello to all challenge lovers!

By popular request I have created a folder for you, if you would like, to put all of your challenges into one thread.

Hopefully this will be useful.

Located between the monthly and yearly challenge folders.
