Hi, JoAnne! I am still learning how the challenges work and I think I made a mistake. When I finished the A-Z covers challenge, I reposted and marked as finished but then I deleted my original post. Now my new post is not clicky on the list of participants. I think in the future I should leave my old post and then add a new post marked as finished? Thanks for all the work you do so we can play with books!
