Library Love Challenge discussion

Welcome to the fourth annual Library Love Challenge.

This year I've got a co-cost Books of My Heart to help me out.
Thank you!!

We are doing things a bit different in that we will be having Monthly Giveaways and offering up a Library Love Monthly email only. Check out the details and sign up for another year of loving your library.

* The goal is to read at least twelve (12) books from the library, but you can read more. While twelve is the minimum; there is no maximum limit. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you.
* Any format will work for this challenge (prints, ebooks, or audios); as long as you checked it out from the library, it counts.
* Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.).
* Crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed, including re-reads. The goal is to support your local library and save money.

On the 1st of every month, a link-up will go up on both Angel’s Guilty Pleasures and Books of My Heart where you can leave your links for your reviews on the books you read from the library. One Winner will be picked each month!! So make sure to stop by each month to enter. More details below.

Hi Angela,

your site won't let me add the link to my GR shelf. I input my name, url, and thumbnail image, but it keeps telling me I'm missing information. Could you please add me?

Hi Bea,

I'm happy to help. Looking at my site I see you did get your link in and are #62 on the linky for the Library Love Challenge 2020. Is there anything else you need? Glad you are joining for another year.

Weird, but yay! Thanks, I think I'm all set for now.

I feel like I'm missing something totally obvious with the sign-up. I filled out the "name" and "URL" fields, chose a thumbnail by clicking "next," closed the thumbnail window by pressing "done"...and now what? Clicking "next" again just takes me back to the thumbnail window. How do I submit the information? I tried clicking "Get the Code" and registered for a Mister Linky thingy, but I still don't understand how to actually submit my signup.

That sounds like the same problem I had.

I found that you have to hit refresh to see your link. It doesn't show up until then.

Yes, thank you!! I did try refreshing at the time, and for some reason it didn't show up right away, but I see it now. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for your help!
