Old Books, New Readers discussion

Good evening,

My shelf, which is public as my profile is public, has the same name as this topic title without the year. I haven't read any of these books, but they showed up on my Read shelf. I corrected the issue by putting them all on my to-read shelf.

Hmmmm. That version reads fine for the chapter 24-27 numbering.
