Okay :)To create a direct link to your post, right click on the time shown on the upper right of your post. (For instance, my first post on this thread says ~ "11 hours 48 min ago". )
Click on "copy link", then paste wherever you'd like. That'll take you to that specific post within a specific thread. You could get fancy with it and use GR's link HTML. First, remove the * I've inserted before the 'a' to create a link by pasting your copied post link where you see www.goodreads.com and add your link text where you see "my link text": <*a href="http://www.goodreads.com">my link text.
Hope that makes sense :)
Here's how they'd look ...Link to Sandy's list post: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Ah... cool beans! I'll be sure to do that for all my challenges! Thanks! :)
Yes - thank you, Steph! That is going to make tracking my challenges so much easier. :-)
Yay! You're welcome! Happy to help. Glad it made some sense. :)
Just to clarify - is the aim to read one title from 26 different series?
That's right, Loriidae, one starting with/for each letter. If anyone would like suggestions for series, you're welcome to look through the archived 2011 challenge thread.
