What is a Reading List?

Simply put, reading lists let you share stories easily. Create lists for what you're reading, your favorite stories, or stories to read later.

Your reading lists are public and displayed on your profile. When you add a story to your reading list, it will show up in the news feed of the people who follow you and the notifications feed of author of the story.

Here are some things you should keep in mind:

- Each list can hold up to a maximum of 200 stories.

- Deleting any stories from any reading list, or deleting a reading list that has stories in it will remove them from your profile permanently, so be careful. If those stories are also in your library, they will not be removed.

- Reading lists are public to other Wattpad users, as opposed to your default library, which is private.

- The default reading list ([Your Username)'s Reading List) cannot be deleted.
