Location: Salt Lake City, UT		Awesome, we're glad to have you! As for nicknames, I don't think we've settled on one yet, so I'll throw yours in the mix! Thanks so much for listening. The two best compliments we get are "I've listened to more than one episode of the show" and "I shared it with my friends."

Since it's a "2016 Challenge" you would technically need to read each book on your list this year for it to count. The good news is that 1) there's lots of year left; 2) You can add some of the novellas to save time; and 3) there are 4 levels of challenge, so there's no need to go straight for Knight Radiant level (13 books, 4 reviews). Whichever level you choose, don't forget to write up some reviews on the book page!

It doesn't look like you've added any books yet, but I know the process can be confusing (it certainly was for me). Or maybe you just haven't gotten to it yet. =) But if you're having trouble adding them, follow these steps:

--Log into your account.
--At the top of any page on the site, you'll find a search bar. Search the author or title.
--On the search results screen, click on the cover of the book you're looking for. (You can also do this by clicking on the covers other people have added on the challenge page).
--On the book page, in the middle, look for the BookTrackr section, where you can mark the book as "read", "reading", etc.
--At the bottom of the BookTrackr, if you've subscribed to the challenge, check the box marked "The Legendarium Podcast - The Year of Sanderson Reading Challenge".

Voila, the book is added! If the book is unread, it will show up as lighter/translucent on the challenge page. Once you've completed it (and marked it on the BookTrackr), it will be fully colored in. Also, note that the BookTrackr is where you can leave the reviews required in the challenge. Once you've reviewed the book, a small icon will show up under the book on the challenge page.
