Saved for reading plans.I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with. A few challenges ago someone posted a spreadsheet they had filled in with the tasks, places for books and authors, and places for points. Then the points added themselves up and it was a great way to keep track of everything. I'm not that savy on excel formulas so does anyone have a spreadsheet that they are starting up for this season? If not, I can play around with the old saved copy I have but since this is going to be such a huge challenge I thought it would be easier. Thanks!
