I'm in training. Mainly the project planning and coordinating side of things, I haven't been in front of a class in about 10 years, so I'm glad I don't have to go straight back into that.

Vi, I calculated from the words next to her name on the team review post you linked to in the DJ thread. That extra point was for the bonus word. You hadn't seemed to add that on. Was that wrong?

Karen read that book too , she didn't add anything about shimmy in her review , so I guess that's 9 points.

message 708: by Catherine (new)

Catherine | 728 comments sounds interesting! not much of a techno-geek...don't find software interesting at all...

soft skills? as in "soft touch" with the men...lol :)


message 709: by Vi (new)

Vi What Judy said. Also, it's not on the exact shelf. I checked when she first made her choice.


message 710: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments oh ok, I'll deduct a point Vi. Thanks for letting me know. I also noticed you've amended the team progress post, thank you!

lol, no, more like communication skills, time management, negotiation skills, leadership workshops, that kind of thing. I guess you'd say softskills are things that might help you do your job better but are harder to measure the progress / productivity for. Not sure if they use the same terminology in the U.S. Could be a local term, I really don't know.

And no, no touching men allowed, lol!!

Thanks Judy.


message 713: by Vi (new)

Vi Yep, I went through them. Sorry about the misleading post. Next time I'll double check. Thank you!

MMMMMMMM and it worked. I am now to distracted to try to find books to match songs, I'm going to have to go find a sweet treat from the kitchen.

Lina | 5563 comments Judy, we had decided no to anthologies because they give you so many options it almost seems unfair. Let's say there are 3 stories in the book, you would potentially have 3 plots to choose from, 3 settings, 3 lots of names, 3 titles etc.... If we decided that only one story from the astrology would count, the mods run into a few problems there too. How can we ensure you've read the whole book so you meet the page requirement? Most anthologies have very little plot summary info on the book page in Goodreads, so it would be harder for us to moderate. So, short answer is no to anthologies, sorry.

Lina | 5563 comments Can you tell I'm on my phone again? No idea why it put astrology!

message 736: by Manvir (new)

Manvir (lucyheartfilia) lol don't know why I found that so funny but I do. I read to astrology and then stopped to allow my brain time to process. After a second I realized the mistake was not mine and got what you were trying to say anyway CaroB. I've done the exact same thing so many times. I can't talk and type/write at the same time. Either I say the word I'm writing or write the word I'm saying.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments Can we use the full name of the singers? They way they are it's impossible to link anything to them .


Adele:Adele Laurie Blue Adkins


message 738: by D.G. (new)

D.G. Well, Lady Gaga might be able to be used if we can use titles as part of the name like for instance if the heroine was called Lady Edith Crawley. She would be called Lady Edith by most people except friends and family.

message 744: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) I noticed that the shelf link is to a listopia rather than a shelf. Does the book have to be from this list (which is pretty short) or can it be from the Love Triangle Shelf?


message 745: by Isha (new)

Isha | 170 comments What are the rules about the song video. I assumed that it had to be the official video and other versions of the song video done by other people wouldn't be accepted.


message 746: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments Nikita, the video link can only be the one linked to on Mr Elf's post. I don't know about it having to me the "official" one necessarily, but it definitely has to be one done by the artist.


message 747: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments Holy cow!!! I see what you mean!!! How on earth did us mods miss that!!! Crapola, let me check with the mods what we're going to do about that. Thanks for pointing it out Nikita.

If we decide to take the video out of it, that's going to make some changes to our cheat sheet, and to what links we'll accept. Like I said, let me check with nick and the ladies what we're going to decide on that one.


message 748: by Isha (new)

Isha | 170 comments The one that Mr Elf has linked wasn't done by the artist. It doesn't have Adele in it but a lookalike.


message 749: by Elishia (new)

Elishia | 2620 comments I didn't even notice, this is the first time i've seen this video.

Just realised. Pretty sure none of us mods were aware of that one. Myself or one of the other mods will get back to you all ASAP about the video links. That's going to affect the shelf, cover link, setting and some plot links too.

Crapitty crap crap.

Sorry ladies!!!
