This is David's "To Be Read" List (2021) for the 50 Books Read in 2021. This list will be added to as David sets up the thread.

Whatever books are not completed on the list can be carried over to the 2022 Personal Reading List thread.

Sample Format Choices:

Sample Format for initial set up before completing books:

�1. The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights, and Other Appreciations Hardcover � May 22, 2018 by John McCain

by John McCain

2. The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson

by Rick Atkinson

3. Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky

by Mark Kurlansky

Note: See the sample checkmark in number one that would show that I completed that book.

And if you like to see the strikethrough example that the book has been completed - see number 2.

On the Personal Reading Lists - you have a choice of either using checkmarks or strikethroughs.

For comprehensive assistance - we always have the "how to" thread.

See link: /topic/show/...

You can always check Bentley's Thread for the Personal Reading List Thread.

See Bentley's Sample Thread for the Personal Reading List Thread.

Basic Information to help you get started:



For 2021, we are going to set up for all participants two threads - the first will be each participant's Personal Reading List thread where they can create lists of books that they want to read for the 50 Books Read challenge.

And as they read them - they can check them off or do a strikethrough.

It is your working thread.

You can check off each book as you read it by adding & # 10003 ; (with no spaces in between) right before the title of the book with additionally no spaces after the semicolon and before the title of the book.

If you would like to bold the title of the book and author - and number them - in addition to adding a checkmark - you would then add & # 10003 ;(with no spaces) and then < b >1. The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson< /b > with no spaces. You can easily preview what you have done to see if your code works.

�1. The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson

or without a number

�The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson

You can also do strikethroughs if you like - that is the same as bolding but using an s instead of b.

For example: < s > The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson < / s>
You would use this code without the spaces within the brackets or in front of the book title or after the name of the author.

It would look like this:

The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson

If you want it bolded as well:

< s >< b >The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson < / b >< / s >
You would use this code without the spaces within the brackets or in front of the book title or after the name of the author.

It would end up looking like this:

The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson

The second thread is just like it has always been.

If you want to also number the books as well as bold them using a strike through:

< s > < b >1. The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson < / b > < / s>
You would use this code without the spaces within the brackets or in front of the book title number or after the name of the author.

It would end up looking like this:

1. The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson

The second thread is the formatted reading thread for 50 Books that we always have done and includes your reviews using the designated format.

You must sign up for 50 Books Read in 2020 to get both threads - the Personal Reading List thread just for you and your own 2020 Books Read in 2020 thread. You must use the format on the Books Read in 2020 thread. If you would like to participate - then please add your name here and I will set up both threads. Active participants in the 2020 50 Books Read in 2020 get their own two threads for 2021 and beyond.

The format for the Personal Lists when setting them up is easy:

Just number or list and skip one line in between.
After skipping one line - just add the citation.

bookcover, the word by, the author's photo and then the author's link

Then skip another line before adding your next book. As you read and complete them - either use a strikethrough or a checkmark - that means that you have added your review according to the standard format on your review thread (same as every other year).

Check the how to thread for additional directions and assistance. We will always be there to assist.

And even if you do not finish all of the books on your list or many on your list - remember whatever books are not completed on the list can be carried over to the 2022 Personal Reading List thread. All you have to do is to do an edit, copy and then a paste on next year's thread. So the sky is the limit.

Have fun with your list thread - you are ready to go!

Hello David,

There are now two threads set up for you in the 50 Books Read in 2020.

The first is the normal 50 Books Read in 2020 thread which you are readily familiar with and you can just jump into that quickly.

And the second thread is your Personal Reading List/Tracker thread for the books that are on your to be read list for 2020. You can add to the list during the year, checkmark off the books that you have completed or you have a choice to do a strikethrough. You make a list for the books that you are planning to read for the year - order is not important - you can skip around. You can number them or not; you can checkmark them when done or you can do strikethroughs to show the ones that you have completed before adding the reviews to your normal 50 Books Read in 2020 thread.

I have provided the sample format with choices. You list the book with numbers or not - but you must skip one line after listing the title of book and the author and you then must add just the citation with bookcover, author's photo and author's link but the other choices are up to you. That helps the goodreads software create a linkable list of books and authors on the right hand white space of your tracker thread.

Hello David,

Welcome; you will get the hang of this very soon.

This is not the thread for your reviews.

Here is the link to the thread where you should post your reviews.
/topic/show/...

Go to that thread and you can start posting the books and their reviews there.

Here is the "required format":

JANUARY

1. by Winston S. Churchill
Finish date: January 2020
Genre: (whatever genre the book happens to be)
Rating: A
Review: You can add text from a review you have written but no links to any review elsewhere even goodreads. And that is about it. Just make sure to number consecutively and just add the months.

IMPORTANT - THE REVIEW SHOULD BE SHORT AND SWEET - THERE ARE NO LINKS OF ANY KIND IN THE BODY OF THE REVIEW ALLOWED. NONE. DO NOT REFER TO ANY OTHER BOOK IN YOUR BRIEF REVIEW. THE ONLY BOOK CITED IN YOUR REVIEW IS THE ONE YOU ARE REVIEWING - NO OTHERS. ALL LINKS TO OTHER THREADS OR REVIEWS ARE DELETED IMMEDIATELY - THERE WILL BE NO WARNING. WE CONSIDER THIS SELF PROMOTION AND IT IS NOT ALLOWED AND IS IN VIOLATION OF OUR RULES AND GUIDELINES

And here are the how to's if you need some additional support which when starting out folks need for a week or two.

/topic/show/...

We are giving this thread as sort of a staging area for the 50 Books Read thread and it is not an either or. But for your list of books - what you are doing on this thread is fine.

But you have to start using the thread (50 Books Read in 2020) to keep the one you are posting in.

/topic/show/...

Let me know how I can help and what your questions are?

Good job on your listing but remember this listing thread is only a perk for those members who are part of the 50 Books Read in 2020 challenge and we have to see you following the standards over there and adding your reviews on that thread to keep this one. Let me know if you have any questions. It is not an either/or. They both work together.

You are making great progress on this link.

Bentley wrote: "You are making great progress on this link."

Should the review number correspond to the number of the book I finished in the year or the number on this "To Be Read List"?
For Example: The Russia Hoax was my 4th book read this year, but I've listed here as #5 under the Political list.

Thanks,

David on the other thread (the official 50 Books Read thread - not this one) it would be the number of the book you finished in the year.

Your numbering can be anything you want on "this list" - however on "my personal to be read list" I keep the numbers assigned to that book - no matter where I place it and/or on which list on this thread I place it. That book has that number.

However, the number is different on (the official 50 Books Read thread - not this one) - on that one you learn that you are numbering in order and consecutively as you post in the standard required format. You are showing on that challenge thread - how many books have been completed. Do you understand the difference in numbering between this thread and the official 50 Books Read in 2020 thread?

Bentley wrote: "David on the other thread (the official 50 Books Read thread - not this one) it would be the number of the book you finished in the year.

Your numbering can be anything you want on "this list" - ..."

Yes, I understand. Thanks for the numbers clarifications.

OK

David, I have updated the topical headers for the Personal Reading Lists because these threads are preserved for our group members who are participating in the 50 Books Read in any given year and are carried over so that they can schedule and use these threads as a staging area and a history of what they have planned.

This thread will be carried over from year to year while you are a participant of the 50 Books for any given year so you can also use it for 2021 coming up. You have had 165 separate members look at your list over the past year. And each one of those 165 are separate and unique members. So you have gotten some traffic.

Hope to see you add to your lists as the new year comes up. What you can track on your lists are the books you have completed - the ones you are reading and the ones that you would like to read for the upcoming 50 Books for 2021 and beyond.

Enjoy.

Thanks! I'm feeling the itch to go back to The Civil War next year. I have a lot of books I've been wanting to read from my library. Now that I'm pretty well caught on my favorite fiction authors, next well be more than half of The Civil War, with a few diversions thrown in.
