LibraryCin | 11663 comments The total number of titles we collectively read for "Action-Adventure" in January was: 143!!

There was only one month in all of last year when we read more than that (though one other month, we read 142)! And that's more than every month in 2017!

LibraryCin | 11663 comments And I wanted to say "Thank you" to those of you who take a few minutes to add your books with our monthly tag to our group bookshelf. And even better, to add the tag to the book you've added. It saves me a few clicks and some time.

I will always double check them all, but it still saves a bit of time for me. So, thank you!

Another thing that makes it easier/faster for me is to add the author into the subject line when you create your thread. I want to make sure I'm adding the correct book, and it's so much easier if I don't have to open the threads.

Also, a note that if you are adding [Trim] or {Horizons] (or similar) to your thread name, it means I'll also add the corresponding tag when I add the book to the shelf, as well. So, thank you for doing that! (A caveat: I only do this for the threads listed in the monthly tag folder.)

Please feel free to add your own Trim and Horizons books to the shelf, with the corresponding tags, especially if the are in the non-monthly folder, as I am not checking or adding those!

Thanks again, everyone!

Meli (melihooker) | 4165 comments Ooooooh, I always forget to do this! And I am not sure if I am doing it right. Hmm, I will try again this month when I finish life.

I try to always remember to put the book on the bookshelf but I didn't know it helped you for us to use the monthly tag on our book. I don't usually do that although I do use it on the PBT bookshelf.

LibraryCin | 11663 comments Here's some instructions for anyone who wants to help out.

1. Click on "Bookshelf" near the top right of any Play Book Tag page.
2. In the search box on the top left, search for your book.
3. Find the correct book and click Add to Group (or Edit if the book has already been added to the group shelf).
4. Click "Choose Shelves" and choose the correct "tag", whether that be the monthly tag (this month, "life") or our the tag for our annual challenges ("trim the tbr" OR "expanding our pbt horizons").

The tag should already be in the list for you to choose. I try to remember to add it in as soon as it's announced.

Thank you, Barbara, for adding the book!

I'm sorry if I worded things oddly. You don't need to add the tag to the book on your own shelf, just if you add the tag on the group shelf (as outlined above). So, if you are using the checkbox on the group shelf for the monthly tag, that is perfect!!

Thanks, again!

LibraryCin | 11663 comments Again, adding it yourself isn't necessary! It is helpful to me, but please don't feel that you HAVE to add it yourself.
