Staci - just want to confirm that this includes both fiction and non-fiction. Is this correct?

Karen wrote: "Staci - just want to confirm that this includes both fiction and non-fiction. Is this correct?"

That's correct. It's fine to read Fiction and Non-Fiction for challenges.

How do you do the picture links for the books?

Allean26 wrote: "How do you do the picture links for the books?"

There is a link at the top right of the comment box when you add a comment that says "add book/author". Click on the link and search for the book. You can either add a link to the book or a photo of the cover of the book. The two options are at the bottom of the add book pop up box. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much
