I got lost on your trail, I'm afraid Katrisa. Book 11, for example doesn't have a task other than it connects to the previous book. There is no "Black in the title, series, or author's name" task. You would indicate that the black cover on Book 10 connects to the series title in Book 11.

Then Book 12 is connected to Book 11 because it's also in the Winter Black series.

If you could tidy that up when you go to request your badge, that would make thinks clearer for me.

Thanks, and I'm sorry I waited so long to address my concerns.

I guess I am not understanding - is this not ok? This is how I was planning to report
11. Winter's Rise (black cover to black in series name)

No offense! I was just confused. The bottom part of my message 1 (the part not crossed out) is how I am planning to report in the request badge thread. Is that what you are lookingfor? :)

Congrats on finishing the first badge!

Did you enjoy The Fox Wife? It looks interesting.

Janice wrote: "Did you enjoy The Fox Wife? It looks interesting."
I did! It was a good historical fiction with some fox spirit mythology woven in.

Also does how I am reporting the badge 2 books as I finish make sense? I am going to report each book as part of it's own hike and then put the overall count for the badge in parentheses.

So you're doing two or three trails simultaneously? It looks good so far. I think there's a potential for confusion especially when it comes to reporting what the connections are, but maybe I'll need to refer back and forth with your message 2.

Oh. btw, I'm doing a quilt retreat this weekend so posting badges will be delayed.

enjoy your retreat! I will keep message 2 updated as how I will eventually report

Thanks. I'm tired after the retreat, so I plan to do the badges tomorrow after I get rested up a bit.
