Littens, feel free to add me/connect with me there too!! 🤗 I joined so that I could do the 2019 reading challenge 🤣 but also to keep track of how many books I‘m reading per month/year... @wanderinglynn

wanderinglynn Thanks for sharing! 💜 (We‘re already friends on GR ☺️) 5y

Does anyone know if there‘s a way to mark reading a different edition in Goodreads than one you‘ve already read without totally switching your previous review from the other edition? I know I can add new dates read, but it all goes to the same edition. I read Philospher‘s Stone on audio last year and want to mark reading the Illustrated Edition this year, but I can‘t figure out how. Is it even possible?

TheLibrarian I think if you go into the editions, you should be able to select the other edition by clicking on it (don‘t click the switch editions button). It‘s a lot easier to do it on the desktop site versus the app. 5y
8little_paws I think you have to go to desktop version 5y
DGRachel @TheLibrarian @8little_paws Thanks. I‘ll check the desktop version tomorrow and see if I can find a way to do it. 😊 5y

Redwritinghood Go to ‘Book Details‘ and you can pick which edition you want. 5y
DGRachel @Redwritinghood Just to be clear, that won‘t move my existing review to the new edition, right? It will let me leave my old review and details where they are and do a new reading tracker and review for the illustrated edition? 5y
Redwritinghood @DGRachel I think that‘s right. You would have to copy and paste. I‘m not 100% sure, though. You could try it on one of them and see. 5y

Has anyone else problems to update her or his current reads? 😑 I started them as my current read, but I can't update the stats at the summary. 😑

It looks like #cockygate strikes again! Sometimes I worry that I rate too high or I‘m not consistent but then I realize that if a book doesn‘t appeal to me, I don‘t read it. I typically really only read books I‘m going to like. Life is too short to read books I‘m not that into unless it‘s for something fun like a readalong on Litsy.

zembla Same! I pick books very carefully, and if my ratings make me look indiscriminate, who cares — I know nothing could be further from the truth. 💕📚 5y

All y‘all! How could Chuck Tingle not be more popular? This was a good year with #LitsyAfterDark & #FreakyFriendsForever. I wonder what 2019 will bring? I didn‘t finish #FowlADay and that‘s on my list for 2019. 😬😀

KrystleTheBookSlayer Oh my gosh, I forgot to add my Chuck Tingle reads to my goodreads count! 😂😂😂 5y
jpmcwisemorgan @KrystleTheBookSlayer 😮 Poor Chuck, being forgotten. 😉 5y

Ha! My shortest book was because of #cockygate, which led to some great discussions here. I like to talk more broadly about books, not as much about a particular book. There‘s been a lot of discussion on Twitter about HEAs and romance lately and that‘s been quite informative. My longest book I didn‘t recall until I looked at the description. A goal this year is to keep better track of series I start, and this is one of them.

Finally got it but I‘ll have to post in pieces because it‘s not cooperating size-wise. 🤷‍♀️

It‘s showing 161 books but I recorded 162 on Goodreads - over my goal by 6! I didn‘t count all my re-reads and maybe some other books. I go on reading binges and don‘t always get them recorded. I think I may keep the same goal next year. I‘ve not decided yet!

I‘m trying to get to my year in review and every time I try to access the site on my phone it takes me to the app, which is generally useless for this sort of thing. Ahhhhh!!!

tjwill Same here. Also, it won‘t show all the things I want, so I‘m taking screenshots and doing a pic collage. Posting shortly! 5y
Redwritinghood There is a way to turn that off, because I‘ve done it. Unfortunately, now I can‘t remember how I did that. It‘s in the Settings menu somewhere. 5y
jpmcwisemorgan @tjwill I finally got it and I was trying to post and I accidentally deleted the post. Sigh.... 5y

jpmcwisemorgan @Redwritinghood Oh, that‘s good to know. I‘ll look for it sometime when I‘m less annoyed that I can‘t figure things out. 5y
CoffeeK8 I had the same problem and somehow did it backwards somehow, I googled something that opened into goodreads then tried to open the link. 5y
jpmcwisemorgan @CoffeeK8 I finally had to reset my password and login regularly instead of with Facebook. 5y

Because all of the cool kids are doing it, I‘ll jump on the bandwagon too! With three more weeks to read, I know I will crack the 100 book mark.

And, thank you everyone for your kind words today! My dad‘s surgery went very well, and he is on the road to recovery. I‘ve not seen him in such high spirits for awhile, so it‘s already a step in the right direction. ❤️❤️❤️

RedxoHearts I always love their awards and seeing what is chosen. It is dangerous though everytime I find so many new to me books to add to my neverending TBR 🤣 5y
jb72 I‘ve voted in three categories so far. I haven‘t read many of the books in the other categories. 5y

"You know you're a YA reader when..." going to the mall is budgeted around witchy books, seasonal teas, and voodoo doll socks. ?☕️
