I would guess that we'd need to post them together, since it's all or nothing on the points. Seems that would make it easier to keep track of for the mods.

[Nancy from NJ]

Thanks Chris. I did think we should post them together but wasn't wuite sure.

Hi all... Sorry I haven't been able to update the scores in a while. I'll update as soon as I have time. I'm just logging on quickly now to let you all know that I've had a death in the family and I'm out of town to attend the funeral. I may not have time to update the lists tomorrow, but I will update them.

Please post your changes in ONE POST in this thread. Subsequent posts with changes to lists will not be counted so be sure to make sure that all of your changes are in that post. You can edit, but any post made prior to 4/15 or with an edit date of 4/16 will NOT be counted, regardless of when the original post was made, because I'll have no way of knowing what was changed. If you edit, make sure you finalize by the end of 4/15.

As a reminder, books that have already been read are locked in at their current point value. They cannot be moved or changed.

Please make sure to specify which position your new books will be in.

Since I don't know when I will be able to get back on to make the changes, I will defer questions to Jackie in my absence, and her decisions will stand.

You can go ahead and score if you read books from the changed list but if the changes are disqualified for any reason (like an edit date of 4/14 or 4/16 mainly), the points will not be counted.

Alrighty, I think that's all the business stuff taken care of... I'm sorry that I might not be on tomorrow. :(
