why are some books starred Darlene? are those favorites?

According to Darlene's Author Challenge, the books that are starred are ones that she has completed.

Debbie wrote: "why are some books starred Darlene? are those favorites?"

Yes, as Charity says, they are the ones completed. I just learned from Natasha how to line through (strike out) the completed ones which I will try to remember for future challenges.

are most people planning all their books ahead of time. i have 3 a-z challenges but im dangerously close to overlap. may have to start planning soon. you cant stick with thye same author is one of the problems. thanks for the clarigication about the stars.
has anyone got a kindle? got one for my birthday and dont know quite where to start

I'm in. After a couple of months of off and on computer problems, we finally got things fixed and operating again. I'm also doing the A-Z authors and read the unread books on my shelves at home. These are fun groups to see what everyone is reading since I'm an avid reader like you all and an author. I'll start putting my list together and post it. Good luck and happy reading to everyone.

The formatting is driving me crazy! :-P

Hey Jennifer,

You can edit your original list when you want to add a new title, if you want, instead of creating a new list each time you want to add a title. Might make it easier on you.

If you just look at the bottom right-hand corner of your post, you'll see a little edit toggle. Click that and you can edit your original post to add your updates.

Also, I noticed on both your A-Z Title and Author lists you are missing the letter V. Just thought I would give you the heads up. :-)

I feel sad that I probably wont complete this challenge because i have crummy letters left. I was very excited about it until I kept reading unfinishable books just to get the letters i needed. I had done pretty well, but unless someone has another solution, I need a new challenge.
