Rebecca,

your has such a lovely pink colour, would you mind if we used it for that task? :)

Also, if you claim an MPG genre task, we don't need the number of tags (with the exception of Grimdark), we just need the genre to be listed on the Main Book Page. :)

No worries! 😊

We appreciate it, Rebecca!! 😊 and BOMs can be a very wild hit-or-miss experience.

Just a heads-up that there is an official page-count for all BOM books, regardless of the individual editions, so I have updated it for yours.

I just saw the comment "not on shelf" for Blood of Hercules on the spreadsheet. But I just checked and it is on my wheels shelf. Could you check again? Thanks."

Hi Claire,

It's there, just checked.

It was just a case of mistaken shelf-identity. 😉

Sophie,

I have added my Guards! Guards! to the sheet for the 2nd Square.

In case I have added it to the wrong side of the square, please adjust. Thank you. :)

I bought the new audio edition and will see how I may like John Culshaw as narrator.

BOM drop-down list has been fixed. I have added your name, Rebecca. :)

Karen, you hang in there, too!!! 🫂

We made a note on this and will fix the issue. :))

Hang in there, Alysa! I hope the wedding will be nice.

Karen, take care of your son and your sparklies! ☺️

Thanks, Cat. You're a true friend! 😊

Finished off Torquemada and definitely WON'T spin.

Could someone else take it on, please? 😉

Just take care not to cause yourself burnout.

Work has reached Mount Doom level of crazy this week (hmm...I wonder just how tall those Tongariro peaks are... need to check 😅) so listening to Much Ado About Nada by Uzma Jalaluddin is true comfort.

...

Aah too bad. Didn’t think of that. And if it were a shorter book, I’d read it in English. If it is absolutely necessary, I can do it, but not in the first two.weeks."

No worries, if you would like to read it in Dutch anyway, please do that! We simply use it for something else.

If not, we can cover it! ☺️

Karen,

So sorry to hear this. :((

Keeping fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for your son!!!!
