When you’ve finished --
After you are done, you may look around the computer room to see who else is done, and go to their pages to read what they’ve written about their books.
You may comment on their writing in the comment boxes. Do not change anything on anyone else’s page.
Record in your “Books to Read” pages in your composition book any books you think you might want to read.
