General - Anything and Everything
Awww shit.....I just saw your spoilers because the messages came through on my phone..............I hate when that happens
Heck, I clicked on the spoilers, but have no idea what they mean...so I'm spoiled, but clueless still :D

(view spoiler)
Jean, why do spoilers show on your phone? My phone is my only internet access and I have to click on spoiler to see it (in the thread). If you get email notifications (which I dont anymore) they don't hide the spoilers which is total crap!! 💩Are you using the app or mobile site? I only use full site. Everything else is also total crap. 💩
I read the spoilers. *shrugs* I'm not gonna read the book, so.... Yeah Kooloo, that image is creepy! But I kinda like it anyway.
That’s so strange Leslie because I just tried it on my iPhone and used the Desktop not the App version and it just says “view spoiler”And when I tap on it - it won’t even open the spoiler?
The spoilers show up in my emails. They do not show up on the app (can't even click on them through the app... have to go to full website). If you disabled your email alerts, how do you know when someone commented?
The bell on the website. I usually ignore Goodreads until I actually want to read it. So, I just see the notifications click each unread and go from there.
Ya I just open GRs every so often and look at the bell at the top a Right like Tessa. If there are new comments from the group it will number them off🤩
Hey my dark-read-like-it-f'd-up gr friends 😁 have any of you read the Killers series by JA Redmerski?? I'm reading the newest one now... I love this psychotic group of Killers 😉
I don't get spoilers on my email updates - they just tell me someone has commented
I may have to try that.... turning off my email notifications and just going to the website. I saw you guys talking about removing the app from my phone too.
Perhaps the email showing spoilers thing only happens for USA? Since Kooloo & Paula are outside US?Anyway, Jean....I would recommend disabling email alerts and do what Tessa said. Use the bell at top of site. That is what I do. I keep a tab open of goodreads site on my phone and refresh it & check it throughout the day.
I see spoilers too. I just try to be careful but that doesn't always work. If I'm BR'ing with you or it's something I know I'll want to read later, I'll turn them off just for that thread, but it's a pain.
Honestly Jean, its the best way for me. I want the option of being able to choose what spoilers to see. I am constantly checking GR, so I dont feel like I am missing anything.

I don't want to see spoilers either! And I'm sure I'll have no problem with constantly checking GR!
Judy.Ca wrote: "Hey my dark-read-like-it-f'd-up gr friends 😁 have any of you read the Killers series by JA Redmerski?? I'm reading the newest one now... I love this psychotic group of Killers 😉"Judy--I read Killing Sarai back in 2014 and LOVED it. And then I made the mistake of listening to the audio book of Reviving Izabel and got totally turned off. I gave it 4 stars because of the great story, but the narration was so bad (I gave it a long, ranty review, lol), the worst I've ever experienced, that I lost interest.
I'll try to go back to it and move The Swan and the Jackal up on my TBR. Heck, I'd read that one for the title alone!
Judy.Ca wrote: "Hey my dark-read-like-it-f'd-up gr friends 😁 have any of you read the Killers series by JA Redmerski?? I'm reading the newest one now...

I don't purchase too many book, because KU, but I have all of these...and if amazon.ca would allow me to lend out I'd gladly lend it to you...however, I believe they are all on KU now...the first 3 are basically about Sarai and Victor but then rest focus on other members of the group...it's one of my all time favourite series...this new one is so good! And I know there are more books to come :)
@ Lisa, you have to give it a try!

It's a great series if you don't mind them not being stand-a-lone's...and now with this latest one, lots of new secrets coming out ;)
Thanks, Judy. They are KU. I think I already have #3 and #4 on my Kindle and then I'll use KU for the rest.
I see emails coming, but I refuse to click on them because I've seen spoilers in them before. I delete without opening. Ironically, by the time I see the email, I've already come here and seen anything that's actually new.

I think I actually saw some of those when they originally aired! lol
I have no idea what Hollywood Squares is....
It's a gameshow based on Tic Tac Toe. Celebrities are in each square, and the contestant chooses a square. Each square, the host asks the celebrity a question. The contestant chooses if it's true or false. If they were right, they'd get their symbol (X or O) and if it was wrong, it would be their opponent's symbol. The exception was for a win. The winner had to answer correctly. My mom LOVED gameshows and I've seen almost all of them as a result. :) Also, in the late nineties, it came back and occasionally had the Buffy characters on.
Paula lol!!!!Wait didn’t they have a British version
Those are great Ella! I remember watching that show as a kid...I think I've seen reruns on TV on a game show station that runs episodes from the 70's and 80's...it's hilarious!!
I googled it Kooloo and apparently we did have a version - Celebrity Squares! On 75 - 79 and 93 - 97 - I can’t remember it, my other half vaguely remembers it (and blames his mother for knowing about it!) I don’t think it was very popular over here
It's getting boring so I'm making it more lively!
*snickers*Are we voting for the one we want to read/try out? lol
