Kat, only BOM whilst we are playing are eligible, however Defiance is on the Group's Bookshelves, so it qualifies :)

Awesome thanks Sandra :)

[Alyssa]

Yeah. I just realized I'm wrong. But, Sandra beat me to suggesting that it might be on the group bookshelf.

Thanks, Sandra. At least Judithe isn't around right this second to whip me as punishment.

Don't be too certain Alyssa, she just posted over on her #1 team thread. ROFL

[Alyssa]

Yikes! *hiding*

Please take a look at your team's card on it (link below). Let me kno..."

Everything looks good for Team Fifteen Judithe.

I totally know about the fingers wanting to just spell things the way they want. Heroines is one of those words for me too.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Alyssa....tsk, tsk, tsk. What will we do with you? Though cupcake bribes might send the whip back into hiding...

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Thanks, Paris!

[JenniJenni]

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Shoot, sorry! Forgot to set that up for this round. Thanks, Judithe! :D

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

LOL...No problem. With all you have on your plate at the moment, I'd be even more amazed if you remembered!

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Judithe, Team 12's card looks good on the spreadsheet.

[Megan]

Team 7's card looks correct on the spreadsheet.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Thanks for letting me know, Christina!

And seem to have mis-posted above that...now gotta find the thread with the question! That'll teach me to not open so many windows at one time...!

ETA: found it, and it was answered so deleted that out-of-place post!

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Thanks, Megan! Think we were posting at almost the same time!

[Lauren]

Team #4's card also looks correct on the spreadsheet.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Thank you, Lauren!

[Daffodil]

Judithe, Team 8's looks good.

[Steph Ann]

Team 2's card looks good, Judithe!

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

Team 10's card looks good.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Thank you Daffodil, Steph Ann and Dawn! Really appreciate everyone checking! (and relieved no "heroin" squares have popped up...so far!)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D

[D.G.]

Wow! I was really looking forward to read from the heroin shelf! (Yes, there is one.)

[Nichole]

LOL! I noticed that a bunch of books from that shelf are on my tbr :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! I typed it a few times while creating the bingo cards. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that there is a shelf for it.

[Daffodil]

Considering some of the books on that shelf, I would say Judithe isn't the only person who had a little typo problem.

[D.G.]

I know, Daffodil!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL Hunger Games?! O.o

[D.G.]

LOL, I guess they were some taking some drugs on the side and we never noticed!! HAHAHAHA!!!

And I guess the gal of kills people with overdoses!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

[Daffodil]

And just what was Grandma teaching Mia in

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL!

[Heather ~ Marceline]

Sorry I am late to post Judithe, team #9's card looks good on the sheet.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

ROFL!

And thanks, Heather!

[D.G.]

Shelf! Shelf! Shelf!!

I have a book hangover since finishing so I'm looking forward to the shelf this afternoon to pick my next read!!

[D.G.]

For those of you who have read ...do I need to be up date in the IAD series to read it?

I'm looking for books for the hard to find shelves and so far I'm having the most trouble with Paranormal Mix. It only has 319 books (that problem has been going on for a while where the books in the shelves are overestimated for some crazy reason) and the books I haven't read are mostly from series that don't interest me.

Sigh...

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

D.G., experiencing the same book hangover...

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

Yowza on the shelf bit! Nasty surprise, and we were sadly unaware...eek!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

DG, I asked someone the same question. I think it was Josie (can't remember) who said you may wanna be up-to-date before reading that one b/c it has 1 or more characters from IAD. Not certain though - maybe someone else can answer that for ya.

?!? Crap. I was certain I'd made sure all shelves had waaaay more books than 300. Off to check.

Phew. Okay, the shelf we're linking to currently has 1,165 books on it. So, there must be more than one with that similar name.

[Lauren]

Steph, the shelf says 1,165 but when you scroll through to page 7 the list comes to an end and there are actually 319 books.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Aw, man, COME.ON. WTH, Goodreads?! :/ Ok. We'll have to come up with something similar to use instead.

[AH]

What shelf are you looking at.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/p...
It says (showing 1-50 of 1,165) at the top of the page, which is why I chose it. But, when you click on page #7, it says (showing 301-319 of 319).

[Jenne]

Steph do you think all of us players should go through our read books (ones we have no intention of reading or rereading through the game) and add some that fit that shelf to that shelf?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

No, that's okay, but thanks for the thought, Jenne. :) We'll come up with an alternative. Of course, we could go the whole game without that shelf ever coming up, but ya never know. Best to have an alternative handy, just in case.

[AH]

That is so weird. Has this happened to any other shelves?

[Michelle]

I just checked another shelf - Paranormal Creatures

http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/p...

It does the same thing! Supposedly over 3000 books but it ends at page 18... What's going on with Goodreads??

[Steph, Serious series addict]

While looking for an alternative, I clicked on the last page and the total book count did drop on each. Normally that's not a big deal b/c I typically pick shelves that have well over 1,000 books on them. This one was one of the smaller offerings and the inaccurate count brought it much lower than I'd like for a game like this. I'll just have to remember to keep an eye out for that in future. I get that the total is always in flux (with people adding and removing), but that's a big difference.
