Q: What Are Custom Book Lists in Book Taco?

A: Custom Book Lists are curated reading lists you build from the Book Taco catalog. Once created, a list appears in your students' Manage Books page under Teacher Lists, giving them a focused set of titles to read.

How to create a book list 

• Go to Manage Books in your teacher panel and open the Book Lists tab.
• Click Add new Custom Book List. The form has two steps:
• Step 1 — List data: give your list a name, then click Next Step.
• Step 2 — Books: search for books by title, author, or series and add them to the list. To remove a book, click the Unlist button on its card.
• Click Save to finish.

How students access the list 

• Your list appears automatically in the student's Manage Books page under the Teacher Lists dropdown.
• Students can browse and start activities on any book in the list from there.
• If your school has a Super User, their lists appear separately under Super User Lists.

How book lists connect to contests 

• When creating a contest, you can link it to one or more of your Custom Book Lists.
• When a list is linked, only books from that list count toward the contest goal.
• Students can see which lists are required directly on the contest detail page.

Editing and deleting lists 

• You can rename a list or add and remove books at any time from the Book Lists tab in Manage Books.
• Deleting a list removes it from the Teacher Lists dropdown in your students' Manage Books page.
