Do we need to pick books ahead of time, or can we put them in as we go?"

As you go is fine. I've seen some fill in what they'll read in advance but that never works for me.

I know this has been asked before but I can't remember the answer, so bear with me, sorry!

If we choose the 4+ task options, for the Spell It Out, is that 4 words we need to spell out completely? Or just a word that has at least 4 letters?

4 words if it's 4 tasks

I always do the 1 to 2 tasks but end up doing 2 per category so I spell out any 2 words I choose.
