Kim are you putting books on you botb shelf before you are reading them? If so can you make a botb to read shelf? Only books you have already read should go on that shelf. I am sorry I forgot to tell you guys. Your team leader needs to be able to keep up with the number of books you have read for each month.

Jackie, sorry, there is two shelf the first one is the Read books - right now it is showing 4 books and those are the ones that I have read... the second shelf is tbr list for just this challenge.. if it is confusing I will change that shelf so only I will know what it is. Sorry again. I haven't been actually been on the past ten days or so. due to some circumstances earlier this year and health issues I kinda just shut down for a few days.. I am okay. Just with fibro and other health issues, then house fire and stress from other areas, I just climbed into my comfy chair and read...
