Connie  G (connie_g) | 1903 comments Is it OK to use a Listopia list for this? I need to read some books on the Books Set in Scotland Listopia list (probably on the first 3 pages of the list).

Rebekah (bekalynn) I’m thinking about using our book shelf. I think I used it once before for this task. Like then, there are always so many books I’m interested in reading that other members recommend for group reads and I’ve seldom been disappointed. Now there are even more and every challenge one of the hardest choices is trying to figure out which of the group reads to read and often try to fit them into other tasks as well.
So is it okay to say books from our bookshelf from previous challenges. Will not count current group reads picks

Ed Lehman | 2651 comments Will my list of books for completing the 2021 Pop Sugar challenge work?

This should be a public list of some sort. Is there a group for this where people have created a group list and your books are on it?

Not that I know of. I can't find another place for That Was Then, This Is Now I already use the CiV spot that this would fit in.


Elizabeth (Alaska) | 14236 comments Lists are edition specific, so it's usually best to look at the edition with the most adds. That title is on all of these lists. Feel free to use any one of them! :-)

Anika | 2801 comments Don't know if it's required to post which list we'd like to use, but just in case:

I'll be using the "Best Short Stories" Listopia

message 24: by Marie (new)

Marie (mariealex) | 1101 comments Hello,

Does it have to be an actual list found on listopia or wikipedia, or would something like "All the Goodreads choice awards past nominees and winners" fit ?
Thanks :)

Marie (mariealex) | 1101 comments Actually i was thinking Goodread choice awards nominees (and not just winners), for which i didn't find any list... Would this fit ?

The nominees are on the award that I linked, starting on this page:

Marie (mariealex) | 1101 comments Oh oops sorry i didn't look through since it was called "Goodreads Choice Award Winners" ! Thanks :)


message 29: by Connie (new)

Connie  G (connie_g) | 1903 comments Since I haven't used a list yet, I'm changing mine to the "Best Southern Books" list. I haven't had time to read the books in Scotland that I was considering in message 5.
