Rosemary, it is helpful if you can keep a running total. Above where you have a place to do so. Are you at 5 pts?

Sorry, I was working on it and was interrupted. I had no internet last week so had a few reviews to post. I think it is 10 now!

You can't take both other and TBR on Justine. I would recommend taking the TBR even tho it is less as the points build off each other but it is up to you. So I would put you at 8, let me me know and I will update your points.

Yes, I will take the TBR point for a total of 8. Thank you, Kristel!

Do I need to post links to my reviews?

I am okay with you doing that or not. I do check all the reviews so it is not necessary.

I think you are at 27. It is really helpful if you could post your Year to Date total (YTD) for us so we don't have to add them. Hopefully this is correct. Let me know if you think it is different. (updated 3/16/22)

Sure, I was keeping the total in my first post, but I have deleted that and will keep it in the new posts from now. I make it 28 to here.

I didn't know how to claim points for the annual read, but I have looked at your points thread, Kristel, and I hope this is the right way to do it:

Annual read: Anniversaries: From a Year in the Life of Gesine Cresspahl
5 pts, read in January to approx page 150
1 pt, 1 discussion post in January

5 pts, read in February to approx page 300
1 pt, 1 discussion post in February

5 pts, read in March to page 416 (end of part 1)
1 pt, 1 discussion post in March

so 18 pts for the annual read so far, added to the previous total of 28
