Mitchell Friedman As always for these kinds of lists, the more helpers the better. The easiest way to help maintain this and related lists is to vote for books already on the list but with only 1 vote. This will mean a maintainer can remove their vote for that book and vote for another book.

A librarian can assist by noting when books have met the criteria for another list. And can add that book to that list and REMOVE it from this list.

A non-librarian can always add the book to the next list an note that it needs removing.

And anyone can find books that meet the criteria for the list that are missing and add them.

Anyone can also note where there are books on the list that don't meet the criteria and note that fact for a librarian or perhaps the voter to fix.

Susie The Wild Road graduated.

(just passing through as I don't normally maintain these, but thought that I'd help out whilst I'm here. :) )


message 24: by Joe (new)

Joe The Riftwar Saga Series Books 2 and 3: Silverthorn, A Darkness at Sethanon doesn't belong on this list. Any of the individual books have 10,000 + ratings.

As far as I'm concerned, if it is a fantasy entry with 100 to 999 ratings, then it can be on this list - even if it is a box set or multi-volume. A bigger problem is that I have only 100 votes - and I can't maintain this list without A LOT more help. Books that should be on this list are not. And related lists have the same difficulties. So feel free to help out - add missing books to this list. Vote for books on this list that have only 1 vote.

Charlotte Igelkott Removed Senlin Ascends, which is already on the next list.


message 33: by Mitchell (new)

Mitchell Friedman There are 12 books on page 3 ready to graduate, but I'm out of votes on the next list - so they'll have to wait.


Charlotte Igelkott Graduated: Blaze of Glory, Beyond Ragnarok, The Dragons of Babel, Convergence, Damiano, Flesh and Fire, The Rainbow Goblins, Seven Wild Sisters

Still a few left on page three but have to finish here for now.
