Duration: One year from the date you start the challenge. If your start date is going to be different than your first post, please indicate when you will start.

Levels: Choose the level that best suits you.
Minion = 3 books
Follower = 4-6 books
Protégé = 7-9 books
Master = 10 or more!

Edit your original post or add a new post with your updates. Whatever you like. Just please be clear as to the number of your books completed.

hey Gisela you put me down as a Follower but i'm doing the Master level.

Sorry about that Elishia! When I get to a computer I'll fix it.

Stephanie, I was just stating what the current standing is. Something like awarded status, as you go reading you'll move up the ranks. It's just a different way to track the challenge. If you'd rather have it stated that your goal is master level, I'll afd it. :)

oh okay, it doesn't matter. i was just wondering.
