A Time - Xmas - A Grosvenor Square Christmas - DONE - 8 Jan 2022

Can someone please tell me EITHER how to do the strikethru line or the green tick to indicate a book has been read? All I can do is write DONE after the book title. Thanks."

Robynne,
For the strikethrough, look at the upper right corner of your post then click the "(some html is ok)" link. It explains how to format your text, including strikethrough.

For the check mark, place your cursor where you want to insert the emoji then right-click to display a menu with "Emoji" at the top. This will display more sub-menus with a variety of icons. Take your pick.

Hello Teresa,
I see your 7th bookshelf is "Audiobooks," which does not fit into any of the 20 themes provided.
You'll need to fit the books in that category into your other six shelves or create a new 7th category.
Cheers!

Bookworms Take Shelfies: Mid-January Update

Welcome to all the new participants!
Everyone who's recently signed up has been added to the Book Larvae roster.
If you posted an update comment or your signup message includes books already read, you'll find your names and progress in the Bookworms roster.
For your reference, I update twice a month, around the 16th and 1st of each month. On those days, I read through all new comments since my previous update. If you have an urgent question, please feel free to message me. :D

Most of your shelves are perfect, but a few of you need to define specific subthemes for some shelves.
For example, "A Literary Award" requires a single category for a certain award, not Goodreads Choice Awards in general.
For "A Location," if you're reading books set in London and New York, for instance, your sub-theme might be "Major Cities."

Have fun tweaking your shelves to fit your 2022 TBRs into them!

Thanks Oshizu.
Very Much Appreciated!!!

FYI - I cannot do the emojis because I have an adblocker running, so I have to use the HTML and use the strike thru line.

Hello Oshizu
On message 124, I added book 1 and 2 for literary award but since it was not the same award, I think that doesn’t work for this challenge.
I will remove them for now and replace them by

A book genre: magical realism
1. Les lanceurs de feu. Jan Carson
2. Le marchand de passés. Jose Eduardo Agualusa

My total remain 4/24 for now. (Original message 38)
Thanks
