I agree. It helps to motivate me and is also a source for some tags that I haven't a clue what to read.

Thanks for this! I'm looking forward to adding my own progress and seeing everyone else's!

poshpenny | 1916 comments I'm making a spreadsheet but can't decide which way I prefer. Can I get some input please?

I do prompts across - that just makes the most sense for my brain, partly because I read more than 50 books in a year; to me, I'm keeping a list of books I've read, and then tracking various stats on that book. Some of the stats, of course, are the categories. On that tab, I write down each book I read, and check off each prompt it could fill (as well as anything else I'm keeping track of: my rating, where the author is from, the genre, etc). If I'm reading it for one prompt in particular, I make that check mark big and red. I have a row just under the prompts where I check off each prompt as it's completed. Then I maintain another tab with the prompts going down where I keep track of the book I used to check off each prompt.

I'd show you, but it's in Excel on my computer, it's not in Google Sheets. I guess I could copy a version into Sheets...

Ashley Marie  | 1028 comments Thanks Mahi! I added my name and for some reason the sheet adopted the person next to me's color scheme for my column. Help?

Thanks Nadine. For this one I'm just wanting to pop in a bunch of books that would fit each prompt. I think I also like prompts across. If I'm looking to fill a prompt, it's much easier to find it and then see the list below.

For my reading tracking I use one with so many stats that I get from a guy on youtube. Weirdly I don't track the challenge there though, I'm just so accustomed to using my thread post!

Hi Ashley, it should be fixed now!

It's because someone used Alternating Colors (you can find it in the Format tab at the top) and the sheet doesn't let you change anything unless you go to that setting.

message 74: by LeahS (new)

LeahS | 491 comments Hello, I'm having a lot of trouble with my column. Unless I enter in a really small font e.g. 8 or even 6, I overlap onto other columns. Sometimes I even overlap with the small font. Some cells seem fine, but others cause this problem. I've not had any problems in previous years or with the ATY spreadsheets. Could someone see what the problem is - thanks. (There seem to be two Leah columns - I'm the one with Leah in a green background).

hey! if you go into format and select wrapping, it will wrap your text so it doesn't do that.

M.A. Freeman | 3 comments Is there something wrong with the community spreadsheet? I just went in to add a book to my column and it's locked. It tells me that the file is view only and edits cannot be made. That I should contact the file owner for details. Help, please.

I'm also getting this exact same message :(

Did something happen to the sheet?


message 83: by Mahi (new)

Mahi | 93 comments Sorry everyone, my Google Drive ran out of space so it stopped allowing edits on any of my files. I’ve solved the problem now! Sorry again!

Ooh oops, fixed! I forgot sharing to everyone like every time I make a new file


message 90: by Ellie (new)

Ellie (patchworkbunny) | 1756 comments Thanks Mahi!

Just a note to newbies, the spreadsheet is divided up by name, just to stop one tab getting overwhelmed.

Cigdem ♡ (cidringles) | 7 comments i like the idea but noone cares about where to put their name so it gets really crowded in the first part where it should only be A-F. pls be aware of where you are writing :>

message 97: by Ellie (new)

Ellie (patchworkbunny) | 1756 comments Hi all, I've made a copy of the community spreadsheet for 2024:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Let me know if anyone spots anything weird with it, or formulas are missing (though usually just copying over the cells from the first column will fix this).
