Do we have to state the books a head of time or is that optional?

It probably doesn't matter as long as you read the books within the month.(it's not like there's a task master who will spank you if you if you don't)

But its nice to have somewhere to keep track of them and to plan ahead.

Marianna, it wasn't long ago that I started my first challenge. They are so addicting. You'll love every minute of it.

Lol! Its certainly a good way to start clearing up your to read shelf!

Wait, no. Thats not true. I keep on finding more books to read.

How about this: Its certainly a good way to rotate your to read shelf!
Read a few of the old and and try to squeeze in piles of the new!
