Can we add books to these lists? I know lots of books set in a location with A, T, or Y that are not currently listed. Also a few for birds, bees & bunnies.

Note: I tried it so let me know if I need to remove them.

Also, someone in another thread requested we add the location in the notes field for the ATY location. How do I do this?

[Nancy]

Yes, the lists are meant for us to add books to! When you add a book, a list will be created on the right showing the books you've voted for/added. You can enter a comment there.

[Joy D]

Got it. Thank you!

[Shannon]

I accidentally added book to the translated books listopia that is not actually a translated book - Trust by Hernan Diaz. I don't know how to remove it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Hey Shannon, if you just delete your vote for the book (and no one else has voted for it) it will remove it from the listopia! It make take a couple minutes for the listopia to update, so just check back later to make sure it was removed. If it doesn't disappear, let me know and I'll manually remove it.

Note for mods: can we not combine editions for 4+ Colors on Cover? More than one cover may fit the prompt and I personally find it confusing to have the wrong cover on my list. Thanks.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

That's a good point, dalex. I'll stop removing duplicates on that list.

Thank you!

Hey just letting you know the listopias for poll 11 haven't been added to the list yet.

[Megan]

Is it possible to filter the listopias, for example by genre? I'm not doing so hot on the 2022 reading challenge, but I can read a good mystery pretty fast, so what I would like to do is fill up the weeks first with books I already own and then the rest of the weeks with mysteries if I can.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

I don't think so, Megan. Unfortunately, listopias don't really have a way to filter or sort. The closest you could do is look through and target the ones you already have marked Want to Read (but again, no way to sort by that).

[Megan]

No worries, thank you!
