Your wall of fame name (WoF) is Cathie. We adopted a new naming system for people's walls because it was getting harder to post badges on the correct wall. Anytime you report books, you need to start your post with your WoF name.

Cathie - Your WoF name is the name you use on your thread where your badges are.

Kristie wrote: "Cathie - Your WoF name is the name you use on your thread where your badges are."

Hehehe - we were posting simultaneously. :)

I’m sorry. I’ll make a mental note about it (or stay away from reporting:-))

Claire wrote: ...I’m sorry. I’ll make a mental note about it (or stay away from reporting:-))...."

Claire, I think Sarah wants to know the task from the Party List of Tasks for which you read your two books.

(You already understand the one message thing. I made the same mistake there!)

Don't stop reporting!☻

Don't worry Claire the rules for reporting will change depending on what the challenge is about but they'll say what they want in the first post probably.
You're at a disadvantage being such a speedy reader and being the first to report! I get to come in at the end and see what everyone else did.

WoF: Vicki

I read The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency for New Beginnings - First book in a Series.

WoF name: Kristie

I only managed to read one book this weekend, but it was really good. It fits a few tasks, but I'll go with New Beginnings: Read a book by a debut author.

I read The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride.


★★★★

WoF - Lori Z


I read Healing the Boss's Heart for 1st book in series.

Claire, do you know how to edit your post? If you go to your original post, right underneath it to the right you can click on "edit" and it will reopen your post. You just need to add which task you read for in there and you can add your second book in there if you'd like to too, but you don't have to.

The important bits are that you have your WoF name (which you do in the first post) and the task that you read for and only report one time. So, you can list all the books or just one and still get your badge as long as it's all in one post.

If you're looking for the original tasks, they are listed here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Hope that helps!
