Hey Mima, I found I had to uncheck the box that says 'don't include background colours'. Hopefully that helps!

Pat I can't put your name in the participants list until you've made your post. Each person's name takes them straight to their original post and I've just been through each one, and you haven't made a post yet. So until you do, I can't link you :)

Pat Spencer (pspencer) No surprised that I am doing it backwards. :-) How do I post my list?

Choose whether you want to do EASY or HARD, choose your books and list them - just as the others have above. Make sure to link them and also have the book covers in your post as well. Good luck :)
