Hi Brianna, thank you for updating, I’ll let you know we don’t count the amount of books read in each month, it’s only if you read one book in each month. Which is why the count is only up to 12. So based on your comment, you have read books in only 3 of the themed month. Making your progress 3/12. When you have finished a book in June, I change it to 4/12.
Thought I’ll let you know in case you are confused :)
I am really impressed you are able to read so much in each month!
Update to message 11:April: Drop the Rock

Catch-up Month: you can spend the month catching up on another months theme that you may have missed or not had time to complete.
Enjoy!

It’s kind of a monthly challenge. A theme a month. You can read a minimum of one book or you can read more if the theme suits you.
One book can be used only once and it would be preferable if you counted the books that you read that month. THIS IS A MIX OF AUTHOR, TITLE, GENRE, PAGE COUNT, COLOR CHALLENGES.
The theme for each month will be decided by members. Members will nominate different themes and a few weeks before each new month, a poll will be up to decide what the new theme will be. . Make sure to only add books that were read in the specified months and don’t forget to update your progress regularly.
Updating Progress:
Every time you update your progress here, do mention the total number of books read (e.g. 5) and do mention the first text you did on this thread so that I can update your progress accordingly! (for e.g. you first texted on this thread and your message number was 5, then whenever you post again you'll have to mention that you are updating your message 5)
The msg used as reference will be the one where you first told us about your progress.
