The Tracking Shelf (2021)

It is exactly the same as any other Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ shelf. You just put the shelf name into the tracker and it updates every time you tag a book with the shelf (as long as the read date is within the challenge dates). If you change your mind about a book, just remove it from the shelf and the tracker will update.
Hope that helps :)
I think the only difference is, that it shows up for you on the main group page and indicates your progress. When you go to *My Books* it will show and can be edited as any other list.
I don't think you can assign books to specific prompts on it (or did I miss that?).

And this is completely optional! I dont' find it helpful, so I don't do it, even though I'm the one who set it up!
No one is tracking how many books you've read except you.
Erm..... Welp?? I don't understand what you guys mean???

Books may fall into multiple shelves. For example I have some books marked as owned, hardcopy, 2021 Popsugar reading challenge to designate physical books that I own versus eBooks (Kindle or Scribd) that I am reading for the challenge. You can add or remove books from a shelf at any time simply by checking or unchecking the box. Hope this helps!
Susan, do you mean the lists in each prompt? That's what I think you mean but I could be wrong. If I'm not wrong, they're lists, not shelves, meaning they're there to help people select books to fit the category. So even if you add a book and choose not to read it someone else might want to and see it there as an option :)
Sorry if I've completely misunderstood what you're asking.
Okay, my bad, I just saw the tracker on the group so ignore me lol
Im confused, which isnt really news to those who truly know me. I have read 4 books so far, I have marked that I have read them on my Popsugar Reading Challenge shelf that I created just for this, but it is telling me that I have not read any books yet.Am I doing something wrong?

I don't know. If you're sure you typed the shelf name correctly in the widget, and the books on your shelf are marked as Read within the time period, and they still aren't registering, then it might be a GR glitch. Lately I feel I've been seeing a lot of people posting that their tracked Challenge numbers are wrong. It's not listed as a known issue for January 2021 however. You can contact GR support and ask them - they are always very nice! (But they make it hard to find the email address to contact them - go to your Profile > Help > and poke around a bit until you find the Contact Us link. You have to click on FAQ or something first - I guess that's how they weed out easily answered questions.)

The dash between words is added automatically when you create a shelf but for the challenge tracker to recognize the shelf, you have to type the dash.
I had to re-enter my shelf name for it to work but it did eventually. It does seem to be having issues updating the shelf though. And I have another challenge that has the same tracker and it is updating fine. Seem like Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ itself is having issues.
The tracker shelves are always really buggy - often there's a big lag to update finished books, I tend to just ignore it and trust it will catch up!
It sometimes needs help refreshing the total. If you click on the link where it says x of 50 (0%) to see the books and if there is the right number there, the act of looking often updates it on the group page.
How do I do this for The Woman in cabin 10? That's what I'm reading right now for the challenge and my other books to
Can someone please say some more about the 'Track Your Progress in the 2020 PopSugar Reading Challenge' works?
It seems this shelf is a different kind of shelf than the ones we can create within our own profile/list of books?
And, it seems the intent (or functionality) is once we enter something to the shelf, we cannot change what's on the shelf? So, if I enter "Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood" 01Jan2021 for my "format I don't normally read" and then 01Feb2021 realize I'd rather read "When Stars Are Scattered", I wouldn't/"shouldn't" be able to swap those two on this "official" tracker?
I know we can do the challenge with personal, flexible interpretations, but I'd also like to best understand the proposed framework. Thanks in advance!
