COMPLETE!!
So many new faces! Welcome to the challenge, everyone. :)Janine, that's completely fine.
Voracious, if you want to aim for a different number or change your goal later, just let me know!
Saara, I'll look and see if I have any recommendations for #7.
Gwen, you aren't able to use the same book for more than one category. That said, if you want to move a book from one category to another, that's fine.
For example: Say you read an autobiography you got from the library. Maybe you originally put it down as #34, a book from the library, but later you want to move it to #35, an autobiography, and then read another book from the library to replace #34, that's fine.
