Lusie, did you miss adding one #4 for 8...and one #5 for 10? You checked off those numbers.

But, wow! You have gotten pretty far in less then 3 months!

Fixed it. Thanks Bea!

Yes I have been reading a lot of series, which is why I was getting curious how far I would be if I would join

LOL, Lusie. I just knew you had done a lot but this list is impressive!

I am suprised by it as well!

What if the decimal points don't add up exactly?

I have a 4.5 and a 1.6. Can I add those (6.1) and count it for 6 or do they have to be an exact sum?

Thanks!

Preferably yes but I'm not really that strict so if you wish to round down, it's up to you...

Ok, I'll just leave them in the pending column for now and see what else I read.
