Melanie’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Will fill in later.

I added my last one to the spreadsheet. Sorry I didn't read much in August, life unexpectedly got pretty busy.

I read some new favorites during the challenge which I'm happy about. I would definitely recommend them.

Sorry I was MIA for a bit, I was at a conference and just got back tonight. Sadly didn't get any reading done but now that I'm home I should be able to finish some books.

I need to catch up on reviews for the ones I've already read. Other than that, my goal is just to clear as many as I can.

Start of month:
Books on shelf: 60
Feedback Ratio: 85%

Books already read that need to be reviewed:



Books (ordered by pub date):

Finished:


End of Month:

Awesome! The book I read last night works for that then, I'll go add it.

For "Read a book that has be on your tbr longer than a year" does it have to be on our Want to Read shelf? Or can it be a custom shelf? For example, I put any books I physically own that I haven't read yet on an exclusive own-to-read shelf.

I'm actually doing pretty good this year if I go off of my physical shelves in terms of adding vs reading. As of now, those are only up by 39 books from the start of the year which is pretty good for me.

In terms of my Goodreads shelves, that number is quite a bit higher. I've added 330 books to Goodreads this year and I've read 186 books (78 of which were added to GR this year). So overall my Goodreads shelves have gone up by 222 books.

I'll update this later.

Got it. Thanks.

Thanks, I thought that was what it should be. Should I fix them all so they're back to the right editions?

I noticed the page counts and links on my books were changed. I always link to the exact edition I read and use the page count for that edition. It looks like all my links were updated to the default editions/page count which I don't think is correct?

It can also work for T50 (same monster) as it has a rating of 4.07 but I don't know how to have it show up for both.

Yes they did. Just added it to the sheet.

Excited for you about your book haul Cordelia!

I also just got some books in the mail (book mail is the best bail). I ordered some books for a signing I'm going to at the end of July.

I'll have Blood Promise done tomorrow night.

Will update later.

Same. I'm hoping once it starts that it will make more sense.

I'll have my last one for the mini plus a couple others done by the end of the month. I'm off work until Thursday so I should have plenty of reading time in the next few days.

I just finished Leviathan Wakes and it was fantastic. If you like sci-fi then I highly recommend this one. Now I need to go out and buy the others to read them soon.

Added (confirmed with Amazon).
