I'm updating my points in message #5 because I hadn't realized I could use one book for more than one thing!

I have a question in there, just in case, so I can edit it if the answer is no.

Oh I'm so sorry I didn't see that, yes I think you can add our botm as part of the challenge.

Thanks--I'll just use the one with the sequels since I finished the BOTM at the very end of 2025.
