Group FAQs

[Book Concierge]

This is the group we are forming as Shelfari migrates to Goodreads. Bear with us as we learn to navigate and set up folders / threads.

I'm so glad to see this discussion group "regroup" here! Paging All Bookworms! was my favorite group on Shelfari and I'm happy we're reforming here.

Question: Do Audiobooks count?

Answer: Yes! We know that audiobooks can take just as long, if not longer, to go through as any print or ebook. We aren't too picky where you get your page number source for this although Goodreads is quite good at having an accurate count for the print version of the book. Amazon is also a good source for this, and in fact Goodreads often pulls their info from there anyway. Don't forget, this is just for fun! Don't stress too much over it and just enjoy ;). You are free to be part of this group whether you choose to count pages or not.

Question: How do "Pages Counted" work in the scheme of the group?

Answer: This group started on Shelfari years ago and was unique in the sense that not only did we keep track of books read but the amount of pages. It's another fun goal and just that, for fun! You can start your own personal thread to keep track of how many pages you read in 2016. At the beginning of each month, Leah K, will post a tread so members can list the books and pages they read for the previous month (example, February's posting will be for January's read pages). She will keep a total of pages read by all members (that post in the monthly thread) throughout the year and give the amazing total at the end of the year. This is a fun challenge not only as an individual but as a group, how many pages can we get read in 2016?

Is there not going to be page count tracking this year? Or am I just rushing things, in which case I apologize.
