inaccurate books read count

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

inaccurate books read count

Post by Eclecticmama »

I apologize if this has already been solved, I have searched but haven't found the answer I'm looking for. I have set my reading goal for this year to 30, but since I've been adding books that I have read in previous years to my book shelves, it is counting them as read this year. How do I add books without them being count as read this year? I under stand why the site is doing it, but is there any way around it?

Anything you add will count. There isn't any way around it.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

You can make the books not count by going to the book's page and changing the "date read" to some date prior to this year. I always just input the year for those books and the site marks it as january 1 of that year.

It can be rather annoying with a large number of books (having to do each one separately) but is the only way at the moment. :tiphat:
