Hi I know it's getting late in the year, but I am new here and this sounds interesting. Could you please generate me a list?

Done :)
Done :)
I am late to the game as well but I would like a list too please. Thank you.
What is a wish list book? I’m interested in the list, though I’m really restricted to books I can read on kindle right now, so I feel I’d go through my swaps quickly. Every time I try to read a paper book I get nowhere because almost all of my reading is at night while I cuddle the kids to sleep.

Hi Chinook, a Wish list book is a book no-one in the group has read or reviewed yet so they tend to be the harder to find / not in English books.

Ahhhh. Okay, sign me up. Not sure I’ll be terribly successful at it, but why not?
So I finished my first randomized list book and I reviewed it, but I am confused if I have to post it within the group somewhere? And if so, where?

Hi Dree, there is a folder called Other 1001 Book Reviews if you add your review there that would be great :)

If you don’t swap out a book from the list, are the five points generated by requesting it used for voting instead or...?

They are they go into your participation points pot (try saying that fast 10 times) and they can be spent however you wish :)

Hi. It's getting later in the year, but not too late yet to read a few more dozen books, including a few more 1001 List books. So, may I have a randomly generated list, please? Thank you. :)

Do our lists roll over into 2018? I’ve made zero progress. Sigh.
@Kelly I will set up the thread as that gives me the ability to edit it when books are read and new books added.
Chinook new year new list so no rollovers. I have also made zero progress despite generating the lists lol

Thanks Book! We will see how I do. But a fresh start in January!
Is there a way next year of making swaps cost less if you have already read the book previously? Thanks.
When do we get our new lists? Do we need to request them in January? I am always out of town the beginning of January, it would be awesome to be able to get library books before I go. I'll be visiting my parents, always lots of reading time.
I'll be glad there's no rollover. I put in interlibrary loan requests for 2 more of mine, and when they arrived on the hold shelf, one turned out to have been mixed up in the electronic catalog. Instead of I Thought of Daisy, I wound up with Birds of America. By the time the libraries sort out their issues and find a correct copy of my requested book I may only have a week to finish reading it.
Hi all
Seen as everyone is so keen to get started I will start generating lists next Friday (I am busy this weekend lol)

Hi Diane,
With the randomised list you get a new book generated for each one you read so if you do get one you have read before you have the choice to swap it or just ignore it and read the others to get new books.
If anyone happens to get 4 books they have already read I am sure I can do something with regard to the PP cost situation :)

Hi Jen, list created for you. You are The Other Jen :)
Hi Jen, list created for you. You are The Other Jen :)
As the selection process is entirely random if you are given 3 books that you have already read, I will allow you to swap 1 of the 3 free of charge the others will need to be re-read or will cost you to swap.
If you are given a book that is not translated into a language you can read this can be swapped free of charge.
Every time you read and review a randomized book a new one will be generated for you, feel free to prompt me as I find GoodReads messages a little unpredictable to say the least.
If you would like a randomized list generate please respond to this post and I will action it for you.
Good luck and happy reading :)
