Most if not all listopia's you can add books. If you plan on reading one that fits a listopia you can add it and voila it's on the list lol.
Another way you can search if you're a windows user hit ctrl F at the same time and a search box will open up. Type the name of a book you have in mind and if it's on there you're browser will let you know. You'll have to do this each page though. If you're a Mac user it's command f.
Great - thanks for the heads up about control fwill give it a try for February since I finally settled on January's books
I was surprised at a few on some of the categories.
If there are childrens' books listed can we read those even though they are very short?
If it's on the list then it's ok. There's going to be some odd ones and short ones etc. This is such a varied and broad challenge. I really tried to incorporate as many genres as possible.
Sounds good - thanks. Didn't want to pick one unless I checked first. I know this one doesn't have a minimum page limit like some challenges do.

Per instructions YOU MAY NOT use a listopia more than once for this challenge.
I didn't get any books read that would have fit for Feb maybe this month
Jenn...just an FYI. The links to the lists do not work past June. Is that intentional?
No it was an accident and I've been fixing it slowly. I'll get on it this week :)
This challenge is a lot harder than I expected. I'm still trying to find books for February (not to mention March), but I'm going to keep plugging away until I fill all the slots! I really like this challenge. It's very...um...challenging.
You can also add books to the listipoa. If you know a book that fits the given category you can add it. It's pretty user friendly adding books. It might help your fellow challengers too. I think what makes this so challenging is I really tried to cover all sorts of genres since we're not a genre specific group.
I completely forgot about this challenge (even though I did finish January's books). Do we have to read the books during the month they were featured or can we reading them over the year?
You're suppose to month by month but if you're behind or missed a month you can read previous months to get current.
Thanks Jenne. I will read February and March's book this month and will then carry on month by month in April. Now all I have to do is remember :0)
Jenne wrote: "You're suppose to month by month but if you're behind or missed a month you can read previous months to get current."Thanks for the heads up. Thought if you didn't finish one of the monthly challenges you were doomed.
I keep looking for green titles this month for one of my other challenges- lol
