Marie, thank you for sharing your plan. I've been stumbling about the threads, searching for a simple way to add the task list into a spreadsheet.
In a vain attempt to hold myself accountable in this challenge, I'll post my plan in a public forum. Since this is my first season, I aim to reach 100 pts (low goal I know, baby steps). This what I put together in about 18 hours or so. Hopefully, it inspires somebody, or I'm just talking to myself, which is probably the case. It'll be a miracle if my library gets the books to me in time. Historical Fiction: The Lost Symbol
