Mitchell Friedman Mulengro and The Hidden Relic would be added to this list, if only I had more votes. Which I would have if people would vote for books on this list.


message 4: by Mitchell (new)

Mitchell Friedman Finders-Seekers would be added to this list, if only I had more votes. Which I would have if people would vote for books on this list.


message 5: by Maarit (new)

Maarit I added Finders-Seekers to the list. I also fixed the list description as it stated "Looking for Fantasy novels with between 100 and 999 ratings on Goodreads." and this is list for book between 1000 and 9999 ratings.

message 9: by Mitchell (new)

Mitchell Friedman check out this nice fantasy list I found r fantasy s Official Underrated and Underread Fantasy.

It's especially good in the 1000 to 9999 ratings fantasy books. This list would have to have a lot more voters (or maintainers to be as good - given the 100 votes per person limit.


message 10: by Mitchell (new)

Mitchell Friedman there are still a lot of books on https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5... that are from 1000 to 9999 ratings but not on this list.

Ketutar Jensen A Dead Djinn in Cairo — 10,072 ratings


message 46: by Mitchell (new)

Mitchell Friedman Ketutar wrote: "A Dead Djinn in Cairo — 10,072 ratings" - given the size of this list - having the page number is always helpful

Thank you for pointing this out. These lists require a lot of upkeep. As a non-librarian you can most help by voting for 100 books already on these lists that only have one vote.

As a librarian if you would add the books over number to the next list and remove them from the current list.

I didn't have the patience to go through the full 40+ pages, so if someone else wants to start from the back, there's probably plenty to do there as well... Or for that matter, if you're the only person to have voted for a book, you can just add it to the next list and remove your vote for it on this list :)
