Another way to keep track of the books you'd like to read for this challenge is to add a Notes column to your bookshelf for this challenge, set that shelf to sort by Notes, and put the corresponding number in the Notes column for each book that you add (number them 001, 002...010, 011, 012...099, 100, 101... to get your list ordered in numerical order; any other notes you want to put for a book would need to go after the number). For example: I want to read The Advocate for #29, a book that won an ECPA Christian Book Award, so I add the book to my 2016-vt-reading-challenge shelf and in the notes column I type 029. Since I've already set up my bookshelf to sort by Notes, it automatically will get sorted in the correct order among my books on that shelf.

To add a column to a bookshelf, go to that bookshelf on your My Books page, look at the top near the middle, and select Settings. In the block that appears select the block for notes, and beside the Sort block select the down arrow, click on Notes, and click Save Current Settings...

This year I listed all the books I picked to read for the Popsugar challenge on a post in the (Popsugar) Ultimate 2015 Reading Challenge group. I frequently had to change those as I decided I didn't want to read some of the books I had originally picked. I also used the Sort by Position to sort my books on my challenge bookshelf (it wasn't necessary; I just wanted them listed in the correct order). That worked fairly well, but it was a bit of a hassle, especially before I got all 52 books added since the position numbers didn't match the numbers on the list (I didn't add the books in list order but instead added them as I decided on a book to fit whatever category). I find using the Notes field to be much easier, since I don't have to move around books to get them in the right position. I also can easily change what I want to read for any number on the list without having to edit a post. So, I'm only going to be listing in this thread the books that I actually read.
