Thanks and yah that helps , while I did see one book in the Listopia that I know I would read which was Dune, and I do love the original movie and have the book to read ,that book scares me , maybe this is the push I need to finally read it and see if I want to get the rest of the series .

Thanks for that - yes when you look at the thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... and scroll down to me - it shows deleted member.

I'll try to contact Goodreads.

I just posted a review of The Golden House. I searched and found one other review dated March 30, 2018. Should I post my this year's review there? And, delete the one I just added?

There is usually an ATY thread about the best books people have read throughout the year. It's typically modeled after the Goodreads Choice Awards, in that the mods come up with a variety of "categories" (Best cover, Best twist, Favourite character etc) and we all post our favourite books from the year. There's usually a couple throughout the year and a larger one at the end of the year.

I can't seem to find a year-end one for this year. Does anyone know if there is one and where I would find it?

I like seeing people's best reads of the year to see if they line up with any of mine or if there are any books I want to add to my TBR.

We haven't posted one yet :) I was planning on posting it on tomorrow as the Read-A-Thon game... so keep an eye out.

We are also tossing around the idea of creating a survey (using Google forms or something similar) and publishing the results, if people would be interested in that as well.

Can I take part in Read-A-Thon games, if I'm not taking part in Read-A-Thon?

Yes! Please do! And, once the Read-A-Thon is over, we will move some of the more popular games and the year-end thread to the main page (probably under the "Off Topic" folder) so everyone can enjoy them after the Read-A-Thon is over.

Awesome! Thanks :)

Can someone tell me if you are supposed to read the prompts in order?

Not required. You can read in any order you want. There is a group of people who are reading in order who post at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

FOUND IT... no need to answer. During the voting lists of potential books that fit the various prompts were compiled. WHERE can those lists be found now? Do we have look at the individual prompts or is there a place where links to all the lists are compiled?

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Glad you found it, Edie!

I’ve meant to try it but never got around to it. I use HabitBull which is a simple tracker for on-going habits like going to the gym four times a week.

I know someone posted about Habitica in the off-topic thread but no one has commented in a number of years. It's something the mods can look into more if people are interested :)

I've never heard of this before but it sounds really interesting!

I'm doing the end-of-year survey, and in the question about which prompt you cheated on (or used a wildcard for), it is making me answer it, but there is no option to say none, and I didn't "cheat" on anything or use a wildcard...

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Whoops, I'll fix that, thanks Kathryn!

[Milena]

Emily, there's also no choice for No Restrictions. I had to select Other, and then write in No Restrictions.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Whoop, thanks! I swear I looked at this 12 times yesterday lol

[Erika]

Not sure if this has been suggested before but I was wondering if it would be possible to edit the titles of the weekly topics for weeks 1-9 to 01-09? This would put them in order for anyone who sorts the topics in order (ie me) and just make it a little easier for anyone who does organize that way. Thanks for considering!

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Sure, that's a great idea! Thanks, Erika.
