LK, if I fall off the wagon what do I do? Where do I get back into this? I missed July and it seems I'll miss August as well, do I continue with September and then extend it two months to make up for those I missed? I still have my make-up cards but want to know in case I run out of those!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Well, did you check to see if you could use your "wild cards"? There are a lot of books you could use them on. Or, you could do like Gigi and just start again.

Thanks! I really like this one. I've read/added a ton of great books. Now reading them in the correct month...... well good thing we have those cards :)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

It is a good challenge in that way, Nichole. I know I read tons and tons at the beginning. Yeah, I should have added more cards... for me! LOL!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Maybe one "free" card if a person added a 5 star read? Or many five 5 star reads. LOL!
