jaxnsmom | 8339 comments Your list looks as good/bad as mine. At least we have a lot to choose from :)


message 9: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60337 comments If it was a problem, one could even add more. :)


message 10: by Wanda (new)

Wanda (wanda71) I need some clarification. Do the books have to be read in chronological order. For instance, if I finish a book that is #17, could I wait and list it for the next level or do I have to list it when it is finished?


message 11: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60337 comments There's a couple of options. You can list it and score it in the level you're currently working on. Or, if you don't need the points for your current level, you can mark it as completed for the series.

Regardless, each level is started anew and any books read prior to starting that level can't be scored. So you can't read it now and then score it with the next level.

Wanda (wanda71) This is the last of the slewing of series for 2015! It was fun.


message 20: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21509 comments Is that 10?


message 21: by Wanda (new)

Wanda (wanda71) Cherie wrote: "Is that 10?"

Yes it is Level # 10. I forgot to number it. I have gone back in my folder and numbered every level. I did not think that I had done that much. However the last quarter of the year so several of the last of my series and that allowed me to rack them up! It was fun and a feeling of accomplishment in finishing so many.
