Penni, you're one letter short of completing! You must have read an O book since you started this and it is open ended... ;)

OMG - over 2 years ago and how could I leave just one letter hanging out lol.

I updated it - the first O book I read was 3 months after my last entry so I guess that's why I lost track. At least that's my story lol.

Thanks Caroline!

No problem. Now you can have your badge!

This challenge has been around for quite a while now so I decided it was time it had a bit of a makeover!
A slightly revamped version is now available here - Read Your Name.

If you are currently playing this challenge please copy and paste your post to the new thread. If you would prefer to stay where you are that's fine too. This thread will be moved to the archives but will still be accessible for you to update your progress.
