Use (only) shorter reads for this mini as 500+ pages are being read less than 300 or fewer pages.

Love the name of the extra mini "Don't Feed The Chipmunks" (Start June 1st).

Sometimes there is a poltergeist who plays trick on us. "Read: GR is just messing with our heads."

Once in a while, it does show you "ghost book" but the links have always been correct when clicking on them.

So, there is no need to re-enter the book.

Not you :)
The formula was deleted from RT10.

Just yesterday, I was looking up if we have penalties this year and couldn't find - happy :p

Next two weeks, I'll have more time to read bc of vacation.

Great news. I found my first read. :)

Examples were the book I want to read.

They are not "boxed set" or anything, just in the past when publishing books was harder and more expensive. Books were written and submitted to "papers" in parts/volumes, but now they are considered and translated as a single book.

Похождения бравого солдата Швейка - (The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk During the World War #1-4) - in Estonian or Russian (the book I own) has been always translated as one single book.

Can I use my edition (800 pages) or I just won't read it if this book brings up too many Q.

ETA: Tammie, no need to ask. I just will go with what GR shows and not read it. Less confusion the better.

I can't remember in which group/challenge it was, where a tome that was published serially, then published in its entirety (classics) can't be used as a whole book.

Example: War and Peace - Serialised 1865–1867; book 1869
The Good Soldier Švejk - written in 4 volumes, but is considered as one book

Q: So, Can I read those books as one or not?

Ups, Fixed it in the morning while adding my book

I can also help with SS, I was an expert a few years back when I was using it "every minute of my day", but now I don't need it, so my knowledge has dropped.

Hi everyone!

I'm Elen (she/her/hers) from Estonia.
I'm excited to read many good books with you all! This is my 5th time participating in Tower Teams.

- What is your favorite genre(s)?
Right now, I read mostly thriller/mystery/crime, and a little bit of fantasy, and sci-fi. Previously fantasy was my main genre to read, but in the past two or more years, I have been in a fantasy slump.

- What is/are your favorite author/authors?
Fredrik Backman, Agatha Christie, and some more.

- What are some fun facts that you want others to know?
I'm a laboratory technician in a hospital (Estonia). I read and watch tv shows purely for fun, comfort, and escapism - just to shut down my brain from work and science.


2022 read books that I would recommend are: The Lost Village, Angels & Demons (whole series), Ragdoll (series), The Cruel Prince (series)


My shelf: tower-tt-x-2023‎

Thank you, everyone, for the fun game! I hope you all have a great holiday.
