Swati Garg | 2 comments what if you can do multiple categories with a single book? For example, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruis Zafon is set in a Mediterranean country, country starts with an S, published by Penguin, an author of color, book with a deckled edge (since I'm reading the Penguin Drop cap cover)


message 6: by Swati (new)

Swati Garg | 2 comments The author is dead too :|

Generally speaking, the goal is to read 52 different books in the 52 weeks so you will only list The Shadow Of The Wind for one prompt and read other books for the other prompts. However, if your goal is less than 52 books, then you can double it up on prompts.

Never a dumb question! It took me a minute to find too. I don't know how it is on the App, but on the Website the Add Books To This List button is at the top of the list beside All Votes. From there you can select My Books (ones you've marked as read or to-read) or Search (everything on Goodreads)

HollyRandall	 | 1 comments Wow, this is very convenient. This year I am planning to do a challenge for myself and read more books. I want to get acquainted with different genres, for example with horror books. Therefore, your list and post will be very helpful to me. I hope everything will work out :)
