[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Because there's several threads where people are working out schedules and what to read once you've figured it out please add a request here. It's just so we don't miss things.

Please keep this thread clean of chatter so that it's easier to follow. Thanks in advance.

I don't know if there is a folder for these, but can you please add Storm Front? A group of us will be reading it starting July 10th.

Yw. :) Please let me know if I did it wrong.

Nothing wrong but a few additional steps. I added the book to the shelf changed it to the to-read shelf along with adding a new sub shelf for Dresdan Files. Gave it dates and the default folder that you created.

When creating a read thread there's a field called "this topic is about" and if you put in the book name it will resolve different books of that name. Choose the correct one and then after it will show how people rated it and link to their reviews.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Okay - thanks! I walked myself through everything you stated and think I've got it all. It makes me appreciate all the work you guys do. :)

Great. Fixed the quote for you. :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

The quote? :E

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Niki Hawkes wrote: "The quote? :E"

I changed 'all the work you guys do' to 'all the work we do'

Too subtle or just not funny...........eye of the beholder. :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Hahaha if I hadn't been busy looking other places for things I missed with the BR, I may have seen it. Funny :)

Darn I missed my first potential mod duty!

Margret......I'll leave this one for you. If you need some help hit me up on messenger.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Done

That was quick. Make me a tuna on multigrain with extra pickles, please, oh and a Guinness. Thanks pumpkin.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

One issue though- It's not coming up alphabetically with the other folders.. will that resolve itself?

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Margret wrote: "One issue though- It's not coming up alphabetically with the other folders.. will that resolve itself?"

No. You need to click on discussion, then click on edit folders and then click on move up or move down until it's in the right place. It's a pain in the ass and the UI for it blows. They could easily have a drag and drop.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Bah. I'll do that shit later

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

I took care of it.

In the thread when you start it there's a "this topic is about" and you should put the book name in. That way ratings show up and you can see who has added it etc.

I also in the bookshelf added a sevenwaters shelf and added the book to it and gave the an end date.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

What do you usually put as the default end date?

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Sorry I thought it just needed to be in the to read shelf

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Margret wrote: "What do you usually put as the default end date?"

It depends on the book length. Shorter books 10 days, medium 14 and the biggies 21.

Margret wrote: "Sorry I thought it just needed to be in the to read shelf"

No worries. I'm just trying to keep it organized and no I'm not pedantic by nature but I know myself. Once it slips it'll be all over except for the tears.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Best to keep it consistent anyways, good to know

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Hmmm... I don't think I set an end date for Storm Front. I'll check that when I have a chance.

Good use of the word pedantic.

I would also like a sandwich.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Sandwiches are actually my specialty. I grow tomatoes and bake fresh bread just so I can have a few special sandwiches every year lol. You know it's gonna be good when you have 3 pans going for just one sandwich

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

::drools:: that sounds amazing.

Hi, there's going to be a buddy read for A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin starting in December with A Game of Thrones. Can someone set up the thread? And a proposed schedule?

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Folder added. Please post the schedule to this folder:

That's quite the long distance schedule.

Maybe Winds of Winter will be out by the time they finish the fifth one.

I'm trying to decide on a sarcastic simile worthy of those chances. :)

[Silvana]

Hi, Jaci and I plan to read Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes on October 25th. Thank you for putting the schedule :)

Ok - will add now.

[Silvana]

Thanks, Jenna!

[Solseit]

I found this place by accident! Thanks Mods for this - it is extremely helpful!

I was hoping we could add The Grace of Kings in the folder - we were brainstorming and it might be a good time to read in October (only 2 books of the series are out and it seems a different type of fantasy based on Chinese traditions).
Do you think we can add it? :D

[Silvana]

If I am not mistaken, Guns of the Dawn is not yet in the shelf/upcoming schedule for October 16th even though Scott has made the folder.

It is.

There's just a lot of books between now and then and the application orders them by start date.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I'll check it out and add both
