What? You're kidding! We were just complaining about U's in spell-outs...

I still have some U options, but nothing I'm really in the mood for right now.

I hope we get a good word next round :)

interesting question. Personally, I think we can classify dragons as big fire breathing lizards. I don't why we couldn't. :)

Thank you!"

For Fantasy I recommend:

(Currently reading that, very good so far)

And for Space Opera I cannot recommend enough. the series is very good as well.

Hmmm, I don't know. Those look more like cracks than stripes to me.

I would count it for stripes as well

I finished 2 O books. I think that will be it for me for this round.

I found quite a few I wanted to read with the desert tag. One of them I actually planned to start next, so it works out well. It's The City of Brass. I've wanted to read it since it came out basically. And now that the third in the trilogy is out, it's the perfect time to do so =)

That's good to know ! Thanks

It's the only method I know. And I have to say, for me it doesn't always work as those pages take sometimes so much time to load that it crashes... But not always. I hope it works for you.

Christina wrote: "isn't there a way to find out if a book is tagged a specific word without looking through tons of pages? I know there was a link somewhere that included the book title and the tag, but I don't reme..."

There's indeed a way.
So when you go on the top shelves of your book you need to click on one of the "number of users". This will show you who tagged your book as let's say "romance".
Take Obsession Mine for instance. Right now 40 users have tagged it as "Romance". If I click on the 40 users I end up on this page : https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/users/36055526-obsession-mine?shelf=romance
From there you need to replace the last bit in the link by the tag you are looking for. So if I want to check if Obsession Mine was tagged as Crazy I need to go to : https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/users/36055526-obsession-mine?shelf=crazy
This will show you if anyone had tagged it as such. Here we see there's one person who tagged it as crazy.
If it wasn't tagged as such it says: "Sorry, no users found."

This is wild !


Also I just realised I forgot to precise in the spreadsheet that Keep Me, on of the last books I read was tagged as crazy. I don't know if we are still getting points for those.

Pride and Prejudice is tagged as tiger?????? Why?
