Just in case the request got lost in the Wild Discussion thread can weeks 4 and 5 for 2024 thread be changed from 4 to 04 and 5 to 05.

Thank you!
Does anyone know when then ATY actually ends? I feel like last year my stats showed up a week earlier before I could add my last two planned reads? Thanks

Magic. thank you. Where's the link?

It's the same spreadsheet we use for 2023; the 2024 plans and rejects tabs are open now. The 2024 tracking tabs will open closer to the new year.
Mod
I might hang on for now, then, as I don't really "plan" - I see what prompts a books I've read will fit!
Hi, I'm new to the group and have a question (the answer is probably somewhere, but I didn't see it in the FAQ or the threads I've scanned so far). For a challenge, does the book have to be started AND finished during the challenge, or only finished? For example, for the Winter Challenge that started Dec 1, does the book have to be started Dec 1 or later, or can I count a book that was started in November but finished in December?

Hi. It appears that the 2024 rejects tab is now missing from the file. Did it get moved or deleted?
Mod
If you didn't get a chance to copy over your rejects plan to a thread, I can reopen the tab for a bit so you can copy it over.

I will put up a new (blank) rejects tab when we get closer t..."Sorry, I read that step and then forgot. No, I'm okay. I keep a spreadsheet anyway with all my challenges. I just made a few changes to my plan and wanted to update the sheet. I will just wait for the final one. Thanks for getting back! I was afraid I was losing my mind!!
Where is the 3024 planning tab???!! I’m still working on it. Thanks.
2024 - I’m a thousand years ahead of myself!
A newbie question here....What is the "reject" column in the spreadsheet for?
Mod
What is the "reject" column in the spreadsheet for?"
When we vote on prompts, the vast majority of suggestions don't make the final list (hence the 'rejects'). Some people have favorites that they want to do anyway and so they do a 'rejects' challenge where they take on extra prompts. Entirely optional, but fun!
Mod
We removed the planning tab to make room for the 2024 tabs coming later this month. It's hidden, so we can show it if you need to access it to move your plans into a thread here.

What is the best way to search for your 2024 plan? There isn't a message thread since each as an individual topic. I did add leading symbols to my thread title so I could pick it out in the crowd. I used the search tool for discussion but it didn't come up with a hit. I may have two plans because I have lost the first. I will be happy to delete it if someone finds it.

Mod
If you have a tracking post in another group that is easier for you to find, you could always post a link there to your ATY thread.
Robin P wrote: "I never realized you could sort! I always tried to remember what page mine was on, but of course that changes as new threads are added."Sort? How do you sort the topics?
Mod
Mod
Yes, for over 3 years, I kept paging through looking for my plan! Sometimes when I found it, I just added a short note in order to make my thread move to the top. This is much easier.

Another sign of my digital ignorance, I didn’t know you could bookmark a thread instead of the whole topic!
I come up with a silly title for my plan so it's always easy to search for if I somehow lose the link. It's been Ellie's Home for Wayward Plans a few years now, but I've also done One Plan to Rule Them All.
Emily wrote: "I typically sort the Plans folder by alphabetical (it defaults to most recently commented on top) and, from there, I can find my topic in the alphabetical list."I can’t figure out how to do this. Only the date column appears to be sortable for me. I wonder if this is a mod power?
Is there a way for us to search a topic thread?
Where do I locate the suggestions that didn't make the final list (2024 Topics #3)?
I put my 2024 plan in the plans on 15th October, but now when I search for it, it cannot be found. Going to the plans folder it is there https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/.... What am I doing wrong?

The "search discussion posts" search bar has been glitching for a while now. It's a goodreads problem.

Kendra wrote: "If you have a tracking post in another group that is easier for you to find, you could always post a link there to your ATY thread."I set up a private group for myself where I keep links to all my post threads. It makes it easy to keep track of tasks and I can spread out and keep myself sorted.
I'm going to take it easy this coming year. 2023 imploded on me about half-way through and I never did recover, so I'm not going to plan TOO far ahead this coming year.
But I still plan to keep up with my private group.
Is there a printable list of the 2024 topics anywhere?
Mod
I wonder if you can break up the spead sheet list into more than thirds alphabetically. I've been wating to join and did it as soon as I could but it will still take my 40 some clicks to get to my name in the M-Z group! Has this community really grown?
Mod
I don't know what device you are on, but you should be able to move across without clicking each column. Otherwise, you can use CtrlF or equivalent to look for your name - no other Perri's, I'm sure. It might land you on an author with the name Perrin or similar. If you have a common name like Sara or Jen, there would be a lot more to search through!
Robin P wrote: "Perri wrote: "I wonder if you can break up the spead sheet list into more than thirds alphabetically.

Still I"m a lot further from the front than I was last year. Perrin in my grandson's name :)
Mod
You can try to remember which column you are in, like BH or whatever, but sometimes people drop out and your column location could change.
