cataloguing, one of the exclusive shelves

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

That's pretty bizarre, nothing wrong with that shelf name. I presume you mean a sticky shelf, so it stays up the top :)

Hopefully you'll get answers as well as a reinstatement.

[Midu]

nope, i mean exclusive. where books can only be kept on one shelf exclusively. yep, hoping they can do something about it!

[AH]

Your shelf disappeared? There was talk on one of the feedback threads that only the 1st 50 shelves will show on the UGB to improve the UGB's performance. It should show up because it is an exclusive shelf.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I had a look at Midu's full list of shelves and it definitely isn't there.

Notwithstanding the UGB, I haven't heard of this happening before. Very strange.

[Midu]

still no reply on the feedback thread!

[AH]

I noticed that my exclusive shelves don't have a check box when adding books. Damn that UGB.

[Midu]

oh this is bad! i think the "cataloguing" books are now on the "read" shelf!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

At least they aren't gone altogether.

Create another shelf with a slightly different name & shift them back over.

[AH]

I don't think so. I think that it only happens when you use the pull done shelf menu on the UGB. If you go to each book individually and edit shelves, the proper shelves should be there.

[AH]

I looked and I can't see your cataloging books shelf. ARGH. That is annoying.

[Midu]

i just corrected one,AH! Yeah Sandra, will have to check which is which!

LOL. That's what I said back in msg #355 ;)

I haven't heard of that happening before and I don't think we can blame the UGB, cause it wouldn't have eaten an existing shelf, just possibly not shelved the new books correctly.

[AH]

Maybe there is a limit to sticky/exclusive shelves. Who knows?

[Midu]

look at this page:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...
i've only read the sookie book, yet the others are on read shelf too, aren't they?

[Midu]

i don't think so, i just made two new ones!

[AH]

That seriously sucks.

[Midu]

well, i'll start putting them on a new shelf, i guess! thanks for listening to me whine lol

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

You might be able to batch edit them to the new shelf ;)

[Midu]

i shifted to "table" version and am moving em. is there another easier way?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

No that's how you do it.

[Midu]

thanks! :-)

[Carlyn]

New shelf ladies it's dark fantasy.

[AH]

I like that anthology with the exception of Charlaine Harris' story. That story was really strange and I could not remember those characters from Sookie's world.

[AH]

I think I may try . It was a kindle freebie a while ago and it's time I read it.

[Vi]

Midu! Dark Fantasy == ?? Just curious :P

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

I'll be reading Second Grave on the Left for "dark fantasy".

I hope to finish Summoning the Night tomorrow.

For Dark Fantasy I will go with The Vampire Mountain by Darren Shan

[Midu]

I loved the series Juana! Finished it within a week or so!

[Midu]

@Vi:
you're hilarious :-p

[Midu]

@Carlyn:
really good anthology! a quote:

“Do you know why you‟ve found me half-naked? Do you know what this is?"
I don‟t know, sir. What is this?”
“This is karma. This is every negative thing I‟ve done, coming back to take a big bite of my ass.”
The tightness in her throat eased. She strove to match the light tone his response invited.
“That is unfortunate. Particularly as, in my professional opinion, the consequences of your actions are worse than you imagine.”
“Why do you say that, Winters?”
“Because you are much more than half-naked, sir. And although I have many talents, protecting you from mystical kar mic forces is not one of them.”
He tilted his head, as if weighing that. “So chances are, I‟ll lose my shorts before we‟re
done.”
― Meljean Brook, Must Love Hellhounds

[Midu]

[Midu]

i'm thinking reading the book would make more sense cuz I have it marked for the SRC too

[Vi]

Oh, which category? I'm thinking on reading it as well but figuring out which one.

[Midu]

For:
10.10-Back to School
Read a book that was first published in the decade that you graduated (or will graduate) from high school (or equivalent secondary education)
Published December 1st 2008

[Vi]

Oh, right. Good category. I need to track them all down..

[Midu]

you didn't make the reading plan thing? *smug* I did!

[Vi]

I did for a basic outline but then if I list things ahead, then I lose interest in reading! I'm weird. Though there is still a loooong way to go for me.

[Midu]

I know what you mean! but you're reading at a good pace :-) keep it up! i chose this steampunk anthology which was a chunker! and that's why I'm staying away from Night Angel right now!

[Vi]

Thanks, Midu! I'm gonna read Diana Gabaldon (for time travel and a good motivation to continue the series) which is 800 pgs and that is why I'm choosing to stay away too! Lol, same reasons :D

[Midu]

IKR? and it isn't like i didn't make it through Lord of the Rings lol

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

I'm so disappointed. I didn't get much reading done this past week/weekend. I don't like being behind like this. :(

The good news is that I will be off Friday and Monday..so, I hoping to get much reading done. :D

[AH]

11/5/12 - Finished my Dark Fantasy Read
Hollowland - 4 Stars

I got this as a Kindle freebie about a year ago and it sat unread until Bookshelf Bingo. Thanks, Steph for a great way to get all those unread books read.

Hollowland is the story of a young woman on a mission to find her 8 year old brother in a world full of zombies and other dangerous roadside marauders, cultists, and other stuff. When her refuge is attacked by zombies, Remy and her companions escape and head off into the wild. All Remy knows is that she needs to head north to the next army quarantine settlement.

This is a frightening world, but Remy is one of the most badass zombie fighters I've seen. Added plus - she rescued a lioness who loves to attack zombies. Ripley the lioness tags along with Remy, Harlow, Blue, and Lazlo as they seek out the the quarantine settlement.

This was an enjoyable read and not quite as gory as some zombie books can be. (There is zombie guts and gore, but just not as graphic). My only criticism is that the ending was a little abrupt for me.

Shelf: Favorite Series

I pretty much enjoyed this series. It was a little slow to start but once I got familiar with everyone and the story got rolling it was good. I like Mercy Thompson and her cohorts including the next door neighbor Alpha Adam and Dr. Sam. Mercy is a coyote not a werewolf. It seems like poor Mercy has no problem finding trouble or rather trouble finds her. She's a good person and helps anyone who needs it. Including helping to rescue the Alpha's daughter Jesse and a stray werewolf. It was a good story.
