how can I access the listopia from the app?
Mod
Not easily!
That's another thing Goodreads needs to fix about the app! You can LOOK at any Listopia on the app so long as you have a link, but you can't get to the main Listopia site to browse other lists and you cannot add to a list from the mobile version of Goodreads.
I go to my browser on my phone to add to lists. it's clunky, but it's better than nothing, I guess.
I love this idea so much! Sometimes the threads get too overwhelming for me so it'll be nice to have just a list of books people mention!
Thank you so much for doing this! I agree with Taylor; the threads can quickly become very overwhelming. The lists make it a lot easier to skim and see what's already on my TBR.
When is the full 2020 list going to come out? I see a new prompt is posted everyday but what about when Popsugar will post it? I feel like we're a week behind from when they posted it last year
They're not saying when it will be out. You're right that it was released a week earlier last year. We just have to wait and see when they release the list.
Loving the Listopias for each prompt!
Great idea! It's easier to see if I already have a matching book in my TBR. Really good!!!
You know they are talking about making listopias for challenges in other groups too? There are very helpful (and fun) indeed
This is fantastic and was very helpful for a first-timer like me!
Is there a way to remove duplicates if they end up on these lists?

A "Goodreads librarian" can remove titles from a Listopia. We've got a few in this group and I know they try to scan the lists from time to time.
I've been using Listopia for years and still learned a few things here; thanks for this! And I'm delighted to have one for each prompt to refer to.If I may add one more tip: Don't assume that because a book is in a Listopia list, that it truly does fit the prompt. Most people add books mindfully but I've seldom seen a list that didn't have some completely inappropriate books for the list title. Frankly, Listopia is notorious among lots of Goodreaders for this. I think "posting without having read" is mostly responsible for this problem. So once I see a prospect I like, I always pull up the book description and check for myself whether I think the book truly fits the prompt.
Great idea, I'm a new but it will be really helpfull!)
Listopia is Goodreads's way of making lists of books.
This year we will try out creating Listopias for each prompt. Each Listopia will include "2020 Popsugar" so you will be able to search for all of them. (Under Browse > Lists > Search lists) This is optional, of course!
To add a book, click "Add Books To This List" then click "Search" and search for that book then click "Vote for this book" box. By using the "Search" feature instead of the "My Books" feature, you will avoid adding duplicate copies. (For example: if I vote for the English version and Johanne votes for the Danish version and Ellie votes for the audiobook, it will register as three votes for the same title instead of adding all three versions of the same book to the list.)
To see why a book was added, click on the link for who voted. For example, the #1 book right now is "Doors of January," and three people have voted for it so far, so click on "3 people voted" and you'll see the three of us and any notes we added. I found this book on Modern Mrs Darcy. I'm the only one who added a note on this book so maybe this isn't the best example!
At the bottom of the list, you'll see all the people who have voted on the list. If you click on the profile PICTURE, it takes you to the user's homepage, but if you click on the person's NAME, you'll see a list of all the books they voted for, including any notes they added.
To add notes, just fill in the box under the title you voted for, over in the right hand margin. You don't have to click "post" or anything, it's automatically added. You can add a note at any time.
If you voted for a book and have regrets, just click the "x" next to the book in the right hand margin, and your vote will be removed. (If yours was the only vote, the book will be removed from the Listopia. Eventually. It takes a bit to refresh sometimes.)
If a book is already on the list but you love it too, your vote still matters, because it will bump the book up higher on the list. Theoretically, the top books will be the "best" books on each list.
