LOL Rosa!!

[Sue]

On the prompts related to most popular books this week, it doesn't look like that list has been updated since January 5. Do we pick something from there even though it isn't "this" week? Or do they update it on a regular basis that isn't weekly?

[JoAnne]

Sue wrote: "On the prompts related to most popular books this week, it doesn't look like that list has been updated since January 5. Do we pick something from there even though it isn't "this" week? Or do they..."

I do not know when they update. You can change the country and get a different list. OR you can go to a genre page - ex. Mystery and if you go down the page there's Most Read This Week Tagged "Mystery", which you can click on and you get this.

Will that help?
