Using the Reading Log and Lists

How do I create a List?

Usually the best way to start is to find an item you'd like to add to a list. So starting with a book like this one

If you see the "Want to Read" button down on the left side, below the cover and click the upside down triangle, then you can either add to one of your existing lists or click the "Create a new list" link.

You will get a dialog box asking for a list name and description and once you fill that in and click the "create new list" button you have both created the list AND added the book to the list. In the future that list will be available under the Add to List menu.

Pro tip: If you select the "Use this work" checkbox, the work rather than the edition will be added to your list.
