Wrap-up Post

Some of the participants of this challenge are insatiable readers who may well be able to finish the Global Reading Challenge before I imagine it possible.

So just to prove that I am with it: this is where you post a link when you have finished the challenge (unless you should choose to upgrade your level).

Here are some icons to display on your blog when you've achieved the levels.
