Thanks Kadijah! I just went to TickerFactory.com and created it under the "Objects/Actions Counter" option. It guides you though each step until an html code is generated to past into your message. Each one has it's own password/pin so you can make multiple tickers. I have one for each yearly challenge.

The books that I don't want to read (like the guitar one, I only put it on my tbr for a friend or a #x of a series that I haven't started yet), I've crossed them off the list.

Update 10-04;
I've gone through my TBR and deleted a lot of books. Some of them were on this list (almost half of them), which I've also crossed off. I'll probably add new random book to this list (but it'll be from my Next-to-read-in-series-list.

Ohnna Miller | 21 comments I would like to join this challenge, but I have a bit of a question. What if the TBR list shows a book from a series (like the 3rd of the 4th book) and you haven't started that series yet? Is it ok to just chose the 1st book of that series for this challenge then?

Thanks a million for that, Blagica!


Bookworm with Kids I like the idea of an "Owned but not Read" shelf, that would be good to have. I keep clicking 'Like To Read' on books that I see on GR and they all end up on my TBR shelf.
