I’m not sure what larger softcover books are, but if they’re flexible (bendable, whereas hardcovers are firm) like I assume they are, then yes, they count as paperbacks.

Welcome, all!

Thankyou, Andrea ;)) and for the ez post links!

You're welcome! I had several tight deadlines the last few months, so I completely forgot to come back to doing this part. I'm so grateful for your reminder, Writer. Teamwork makes the reading challenges work!

As I suspected, my audio book list extended beyond that of the others! I enjoyed the visual tracker of what format I completed the most of.

Great job!

I finished the quarter having read 23 e-books, 9 paperbacks, and 14 hardbacks. That last number was a bit of a surprise, TBH, because I typically don't read too many hardback books. I guess reading a fair amount of children's books upped that number.
A fun and interesting challenge. Thanks, Andrea!
