btw your side bar is very tidy - how I wish I could manage mine a bit better =)
I am full of admiration for your Google doc spread sheet on novel challenge. I like the way you have a planned month for reading each title. Personally I prefer to have little more freedom with my reading, especially this year as I have a 'Caught My Eye' category for the 888 challenge which is the framework for my reading this year.
I like your tally up the top. Mind you I do have a total at the bottom of my 888 column which means I do have an ongoing tally. In fact I tally each challenge too come to think of it.
What is the advantage of using the Google doc rather than a straight forward excel - is it easier to share or is it more than that?
Warm wishes Julie
I'm keeping track of the month, pages, and rating mostly to help me in creating stats at year end. I try not to plan my reads tooooo far in advance. That way I make sure to make progress on my challenges, but I can read the selections that suit me at the moment. I like the idea of the "Caught my Eye" category. I wish I'd thought of that -- I was concerned about locking myself into too many categories!
I have two reasons for using Google. The first is just a bit of idle curiosity, as an IT professional, on how well it works vs. Excel. The second reason is that there are a few people in the Yahoo group who do not have Excel, and this was a way to share the spreadsheet with those members, as well.
Fondly,
