For 2020, we are going to set up for all participants two threads - the first will be each participant's Personal Reading List thread where they can create lists of books that they want to read for the 50 Books Read challenge.
And as they read them - they can check them off or do a strikethrough.
It is your working thread.
You can check off each book as you read it by adding & # 10003 ; (with no spaces in between) right before the title of the book with additionally no spaces after the semicolon and before the title of the book.
If you would like to bold the title of the book and author - and number them - in addition to adding a checkmark - you would then add & # 10003 ;(with no spaces) and then < b >1. The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson< /b > with no spaces. You can easily preview what you have done to see if your code works.
✓1. The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson
or without a number
✓The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson
You can also do strikethroughs if you like - that is the same as bolding but using an s instead of b.
For example: < s > The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson < / s>
You would use this code without the spaces within the brackets or in front of the book title or after the name of the author.
It would look like this:
If you want it bolded as well:
< s >< b >The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson < / b >< / s >
You would use this code without the spaces within the brackets or in front of the book title or after the name of the author.
It would end up looking like this:
The second thread is just like it has always been.
If you want to also number the books as well as bold them using a strike through:
< s > < b >1. The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson < / b > < / s>
You would use this code without the spaces within the brackets or in front of the book title number or after the name of the author.
It would end up looking like this:
The second thread is the formatted reading thread for 50 Books that we always have done and includes your reviews using the designated format.
You must sign up for 50 Books Read in 2020 to get both threads - the Personal Reading List thread just for you and your own 2020 Books Read in 2020 thread. You must use the format on the Books Read in 2020 thread. If you would like to participate - then please add your name here and I will set up both threads. Active participants in the 2019 50 Books Read in 2020 get their own two threads.
The format for the Personal Lists when setting them up is easy:
Just number or list and skip one line in between.
After skipping one line - just add the citation.
bookcover, the word by, the author's photo and then the author's link
Then skip another line before adding your next book. As you read and complete them - either use a strikethrough or a checkmark - that means that you have added your review according to the standard format on your review thread (same as every other year).
Check the how to thread for additional directions and assistance. We will always be there to assist.
And even if you do not finish all of the books on your list or many on your list - remember whatever books are not completed on the list can be carried over to the 2021 Personal Reading List thread. All you have to do is to do an edit, copy and then a paste on next year's thread. So the sky is the limit.
