How to check if a specific book is on a particular ListopiaThere are two easy ways to find if a book is on a particular Listopia.
METHOD 1
1. Go to the book page.
2. Scroll down under Friend Reviews - depending on how many of your friends have read or reviewed the book, you may have to scroll a little or a lot. Then you'll see a section called 'Lists with This Book'.
4. This only shows 2 Lists with the book so if the list you are hoping for doesn't show there, click "More lists with this book..." and that will take you to a page where it shows all the lists where that book is located.
5. Depending on the popularity of the book, there may be more than one page of lists. Just keep checking until you find the one you're looking for.
METHOD 2
1. Go to your book page.
2. Check the address bar. The URL contains a number - the number could have one digit or 10. Copy that number
3. Substitute the number signs in the BEFORE URL with the number you copied.
BEFORE: https://www.goodreads.com/list/book/########
AFTER: https://www.goodreads.com/list/book/7...
4. Paste the AFTER URL to your address bar. That will take you to the page of lists for that particular book.
