I'll still finish the series. If I can work them into my heavy reading schedule, that is. :D Too many books, not enough time.

Thank you, Ladies! Steal away, Sashana. You too, Lisa Kay. :)
Thanks, Joann! Glad to see we're on the same wavelength, LK ;)
Some people like to use checkmarks instead of striking out text when they have finished reading a book. Here are a couple: ✔ ✓Just put your cursor/mouse up to the left (or right) of the symbol posted to copy it. Click the left mouse key and hold down while moving the mouse until the star is highlighted. Then right mouse click to copy.
Or, if you type (most) everything in WinWord first (before posting to GoodReads) like I do, you can use the MS Gothic or Malgun Gothic fonts. To see what is available, use the "insert symbol" command. If you don't have it, here are some popular ones for you to copy.
Some more symbols for copying.
★ ☆ ☀ ☂ ☹ ☺ ♥ ♡ ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ✔ ✓ ♔ ♕ ♖ ♗ ♘ ♙ ♚ ♠ ♪ ♬ ♩ ◈ ☎ ☆ ♀ ♂ ☆ ☜ ☝ ☞ ☟ ☠ ☮ ☯ ☻ ☃ ☁ ✿ ❀ ❂ ❄ ¿ ✗ ✘ ✤ ✣ ✡ ✞ ✌ ➜ ʘ ※ ⁑ ∞ ≠ + ÷ ® © º ☤ ✆
Always do a preview to see what will show and what won't.

How to enter some of the symbols with the alt key combo.
Here is a link to the such as alt+3 for ♥ and alt+1 for ☺
Be sure to use your numeric pad (as the numbers on the top row of your keyboard won’t work) and turn your num lock on and your caps lock off!
alt key combo chart .
Notice, the symbol won't appear until after your release the alt key, as the number sequence can get into the hundreds.
★ solid star = Alt + 9733
✩ star outline = Alt + 9734
Or - without the asterisk *
&*#9733; = ★
&*#9734; = ☆
Sometimes, it is faster to just copy, unless you're a fast
Hope it helps.

This challenge is great for helping me update my other challenges. If I'm too busy (or lazy) to update other challenges-I just keep updating this one on my Member Page in antoher group. Then every so often I use it to cut/paste links to put books into other challenges and of course update this one.
♣ ♣♣lets see if it worked
Made ♣ for me too! Hmmm...&*#9733; (w/o the asterisk *)
makes a ★
I think this is for people with laptops? Don't know.
Just checked this out:Typing in &*#9733; gives me ★
Alt + 9733 gives me ♣
I do have a laptop :)
