C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 8238 comments Ashley, sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. Usually we like them turned in by midnight, but if you get them in before final scores are calculated and the book was read in the correct month then that's usually fine. So for this one it didn't work out, but in the future that's what you can do. :)
