How you post is your choice, you can link, do pictures, the above is just an example. The key is that you stick with the one message and update it as the votes come in. Your list can be placed when the May threads go up.

Look here folks. The game is simple, I've listed books I want to read and get them done. There is no wrong way to vote. If YOU haven't read any of them, vote for the best sounding title, most colorful cover, or flip a coin. IT IS OKAY! You can't go wrong! If one book wins with the most votes, I read that book for the month of May because it probably was the most colorful cover on the whole list. It doesn't matter if the others didn't win because I still have them on my to-read list and will get to them when I can. You just helped me choose from a long list of books, what to read NEXT, that is all. Make it fun for yourself! If you chose the book because it had a sexy hot guy or girl on the cover, by all means, vote for it and tell me why you voted for that book. Makes for interesting conversations. *laughing* Just VOTE please! :o)

"Eeny meeny minie moe, pick it for me in this row. If it looks bad, let it go, eeny meeny minie moe!". Thanks!!

Lindsay, I bet a list will soon be going up for June. Do you know how to highlight titles? That makes it easier to look up unfamiliar books. Looks like you have some promising ones! :)

Perri I have NO idea how to do that! I'm usually mobile so that could be part of the problem. Could you explain or tell me where it describes how?

Lindsey what mobile app do you use? And do you have a browser on your phone/device?

I'm sorry.... LINDSAY

I was able to do it from my laptop but if it's possible from the mobile app that's easier. I have an iPhone 5

Sadly, not from that app. At least not yet. But on your Safari browser you can.
Like, if you wanted to open this particular thread in your browser, scroll down to the very bottom where it says "Copy Topic URL" and touch that, then open Safari and paste into the top address box and touch "Go".
This thread will open in your browser. You will then have access to the tools to "Add Book/Author" and make any book a link in the comment box there.
