Re: WBC 2014- Updated...again
No suggestions for the 15 pt?
But can someone explain this one to me? I don't know why but I'm not getting it.
"Read a book based on the previous book you read (mentioned in the book, similar title, same location or time period, etc)."
Just for probably over clarification sake's I'm assuming that it does exclude the next book in a series?
@raeily everyone tends to overthink the challenges. Just try and have fun with it.
Thanks so much for doing all this! You are awesome!
@booknerd226 Working on it. Will post in a bit.
