I think I'll have to PM and ask her if she wants to join.

Please check your name to make sure you are linking to the correct post. I checked a few and they worked but couldn't check every single one.

Mary - That LOL shelf is the weirdest ever. I found The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and all the Twilight books there but lots of really funny books are not. I wonder if people shelf there books they find laughable?

message 75: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) | 1103 comments I haven't read either of the books you mentioned so I can't offer an opinion on them. But it could be that some people use LOL for laugh out loud at (what they perceive as) bad writing. Or for Lots of Love in that they have lots of love for those books.

Who knows. I've seen hard core erotica books shelved as YA, books with nothing but a chaste kiss shelved as erotica, non-parnormal regency romances shelves as Vampires etc..., I think people get carried away with the check marks when adding books.

message 80: by ~KarenH~, Moderator (new)

~KarenH~ | 11382 comments I need a little clarification on one of the FAQs, just to be sure I'm understanding it correctly. For the two books at a time rule, do you need to "leap frog" finishing the books, or can you get several rolls ahead of a book you haven't finished? For example, if someone rolled a 5 on their first roll, and for historical romance decided to read The Fiery Cross (which is over 1400 pages), can they keep rolling and finishing books as they work their way through it, or do they have to finish that first book before they can start the 3rd or 4th book?

Karen, I think you can only have 2 books that you are currently reading...so even if Fiery Cross (book 1) is under currently reading...and you are also reading another Book (Book 2)...then you can roll for Book 3, but can't start it until you finish one of the books.

So if you finish Book 2 and start reading Book 3, you can roll for the 4th book but can't start it until you finish book 3 or 1. As far as I understand it, you can only have two book in currently reading and all the books just need to be finished by end of the game. So you can keep rolling as long as you are finishing up one book to keep going. Or at least that is how I thought about it.

message 83: by D.G. (new)

D.G. | 4477 comments Hina got it. It doesn't matter which two books you have going. So for example:

Roll #1 - Square 2 (started that book so can roll the die)
Roll #2 - Square 6 (finished)
Roll #3 - Square 10 (started that book so can roll the die)
Roll #4 - Square 13 (cannot start this book and roll a new die until either book 1 or 3 are finished)

If for some reason, you finish book #3 before #1, it doesn't matter, now you can start book #4 and then roll for #5 and keep going.


message 84: by ~KarenH~, Moderator (new)

~KarenH~ | 11382 comments Thanks Hina and D.G. That was how I was interpreting it too, but just wanted to be sure before I got way ahead of myself. I tend to get through audiobooks a lot faster than ebook since I tend to listen most of the day (except when I'm reading), so the ebooks tend to fall behind! :-)

It's back! Welcome to Hearts & Tears II; this time in form of a challenge instead of a tournament. There are also some changes: a new board, lots of new shelves, plus the addition of Listopias and two Awards lists to the mix. :)

This challenge is based on the Snakes & Ladders game but with a romance twist. The Hearts & Tears gameboard has 144 squares and each square represents a GR shelf or other instructions. The object of the game is to reach square 144 by reading the books on the shelves/following the instructions on the squares you landed.

1st Roll: 5 (Historical-Romance) Dark Triumph FINISHED 3/22
2nd Roll: 4 move to square 9 (New-Series) Heist Society FINISHED 3/23
3rd Roll: 4 move to square 13 (Mystery) Shatter Me FINISHED 3/29
4th Roll: 1 move to square 14 HEARTS move to square 37 (LOL) Elixir FINISHED 3/31
5th Roll: 1 move to square 38 (Harlequin) Witchstruck FINISHED 4/14
6th Roll: 6 move to square 44 (favorite-series) Something Strange and Deadly FINISHED 4/15
7th Roll: 4 move to square 48 (Highlander) FINISHED 4/25
8th Roll: 3 move to square 51 (Listopia- Cry, Tear-Jerker Romances) Anna and the French Kiss FINISHED 5/20
