I wanted to ask that how do you create/link the links to the words ? Like say here is a word you click on it and the link related to it is opened...
Mod
You know how to add a book/author link, right? Well, right next to it, you'll see ''some html is ok''. Click it and a small window will open. There you'll find link formats. One of them is <.a href="https://www.goodreads.com".>my link text<./a.> (I used stops . to make sure this doesn't become a link. Do remove them before using this.) You can copy it and then type the word you want in place of ''my text link'' and you can paste the url of the site you want it to open between the quotation marks in place of https://www.goodreads.com.
I hope this makes sense.
Hi, I have a question. Why do the books that didn’t make it for the April buddy reads go to June instead of May? There’s still time...
Mod
Hope this is helpful :)
Ah I see Aqsa. Thank you for the explanation.I do think though that the books would have a better chance if they could be chosen the next month instead of skipping a month (I know I won’t be waiting that long to read it or if that weren’t a problem, I’d just rather wait and see what other books would make the poll).
Or maybe it’s an idea to just forget about taking the “losing” books to next month. I mean, one could nominate the book again right?
Mod
Yes, one could. I think we had a poll on this and most members opted for having them again. We do, however, write a zero next to the book and it isn't counted unless someone seconds it.
Hope it was helpful :)
Cool, thx Aqsa (for your advice ánd your patience) , it does help! ☺️I saw I already nominated another book for May, but will keep it in mind for upcoming months!

Pleasure :) Alright!
Hello, I'd just like to put in attention the fact that you have the same group header as my other book club :) https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

Mod
And you're indicating that what? We got it from Google. Please elaborate :)

Hey Aqsa. I have a question. I haven't been much active in this group this year since I had a lot of study to do. But now my exam are going to get over on 30th of March and I would like to participate in some challenges. So I wanted to ask that do we need to be a participant of Genre Round, Colour Challenge and A Theme a Month challenge from beginning of the year or can we start it now from April??
Mod
Good luck for the remaining exams!

I wanted to read Song of Achilles with the group; how does that work? Do I need to sign up or anything or do I just join the read when it starts?
Mod
You just come and comment in the thread :) I'm going to set up the threads in a couple hours and broadcast a message to everyone. There will be links within that message that'll lead you to the respective threads. You can start with the Spoiler Free Discussion.

Hello dear mods, I have a problem I hope you can help me out with. I’ve added my third book to the groups challenge (specific shelf I’ve made) but my total is still 2. What am I doing wrong?
Mod

Why don't we have special monthly challenges anymore? They were fun.
Mod
I guess I'm not sure which challenges are to be completed during the months. Since Aqsa was the one who ran those
but I'll look into it and since it is early October Maybe I could squeeze a special challenge in:)

Thanks Karen! I'd love that. And I am sure other members will too.
For Book Bingo, can you use one book for multiple challenges or just one book per challenge?

Hi darce was wondering if you could include my book legacy of the elf for which I am the author in buddy reads please
Mod
yep sure John, i'll go add it to the June buddy read poll now :)
I don't know what's going on here as I'm a little psychedeliciously stoned: metaphorically speaking, but I just want to say, I love you girls. Truthfully. Thank you for being at it for so long, even if I don't really care or interact with the group, I just want to know it Does matter. Because I know you're out there (and multiplying as far as I can tell). Long live the Tinkerbells and their friends. Peace. Love. Jim Carrey.
Yes. That is correct.
