I've read 91 books so far this year, but how do you post that many?
The only way is to post each book manually. You can choose to link each book cover, or list out the book like this: Revival.Or you can just list them as such:
1. Revival
2. Nos4A2
etc...
It would be a pain to do all of them from this year. It might be easier to just post starting in 2015.
If you've created a reading challenge all the books you have read this year are included and listed in that. And you can look at them by viewing your reading challenge which is on your home page.
