I entered 156 when I first saw the challenge but I will say 200 books this year. I have already read over 20 but have no idea where/how to add date and book read?

If you mean add a date to a reply here, look at the little "add book/author" just above the box where you type. You can add titles, authors and book covers.Here would be a good place to list them as it's your won personal thread.
If you mean in your books in general, go to "my books", where you'll see the list of all the books you have read. You can changed the date when you finished them by clicking on the box corresponding to "date read".
Hope it makes sense, let me know if you need more help!
thank you so much, Camilla! I kind of figured it out last night but only one date would add.....sheesh! lolI will add them here, then....excellent plan! :)

You've read so many books already!What did you think of "Nefertiti"?
excellent! Have also read The Heretic Queen, which follows on and it's just as good - I really rate Michelle Moran! I get really irritated by historical novelists who "write forsoothly" (Josephine Tey: A Daughter of Time). Moran, like Kate Quinn, writes as if they are having conversations you could join.And yes....I read so fast it's annoying - as soon as I get into a good book it's over. I'm one of those 'scan' readers and yes - I do take it all in and remember the book! lol

Do you read according to a prepared list or are you a spontaneous reader?
I'm a magpie reader and grab whatever I like the look of - the one exception being that I HATE reading a series out of order! So.....pottering around on this site is GREAT for finding reading ideas!February so far:
Lily of the Nile
Daughters of the Nile
Becoming Marie Antoinette
Deborah,I noticed you've read a bunch of Elizabeth Chadwick's books. (Which are on my TBR list.) Have you read the new William Marshal biography? Released last December. I read it last month and it was great- not dry at all. The Greatest Knight: The Remarkable Life of William Marshal, The Power Behind Five English Thrones
Thanks, Bella - I'll put it on order! :)

Was Dollface any good? I love books set in the 20's.
Not a novel but am adding it as being in the spirit of my usual fare! Very entertaining :)Medieval Underpants and Other Blunders: A Writer's (and Editor's) Guide to Keeping Historical Fiction Free of Common Anachronisms, Errors, and Myths Second Edition
Lady Macbeth
Lady of the Eternal CityWoohoo! got this yesterday - am down to the last 70 pages and had to come to work. Usual rollicking tale :)
The ending is a bit protracted....I think KQ was finding it hard to let go after so many books, as it seems to be the end of this series.
Also if you want to add a date you began and finished on your review. Click were it says write a review. You don't actually have to write a review but it has a place were you can add the dates. I'm not good at reviews I sort of just leave a little bit about the book to refresh my own mind about the book. My memory isn't that great
