Hey C! Here with an extremely late welcome to the group! 👋
I was just reading through your preceding posts, and honestly there's no right or wrong way to do this. And long as it works for you (and it looks like it is), then this is your space to organize as you wish 😊.
In regards to linking, that option isn't available from the app, so if you ever do want to link book titles or authors it has to be done from a browser .
Now on to the important stuff! Congratulations on surpassing your goals, both times! That's so awesome 🥳
If you wish to have this thread moved to a more appropriate folder, just let me know and I'll be happy to do it for you 😊. If you keep up the momentum going, I have no doubt you'll end up doubling your original goal.
Do you have any new favorites that you'd recommend?
Wishing you the best of luck on your reading journey for the rest of 2024! Happy reading!
Aiming for 65 books this year!
