I've been negligent (and more busy IRL) so maybe this will give me the kickstart I need..

So, I'm confused. How is it so many members already have loads of books on their lists when it's only the 3rd of the month? Aren't these challenges supposed to reflect what you read during the time of the challenge, not before it starts?
reading challenge?
