Week 36- Laboring in the Books

[Joanna]

George R.R. Martin credits his time working chess tournaments with helping to establish him as a writer. He said that since he just had to work weekends, this left him with time during the week to write.

Weekly Book Trivia is on hiatus this week. Thanks for understanding!

I am also aware that I am behind on posting this month's challenges. So sorry! They should be up in the next day or two.

Did everyone have a good Labor Day? I hope you enjoyed the holiday. Of course, Labor Day celebrates workers and their achievements. This has me thinking... what job from a book would you want?

I had to think about this. Obviously, I want some sort of librarian job. Perhaps the job of Irene in The Invisible Library, who tracks down important works in multiple dimensions; or literary detective Thursday Next from Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair; or the keeper of archives in Rivendell (come on, you know Elrond has someone watching over all those manuscripts); or Nallab, the head librarian in Waterfall City (because dinosaurs).

Whose job would you like to have? Let us know in the comments!

Question. When I went to log in my books for the challenge, I accidently hit "I read a book" without tapping the other part about logging my book.
So my count is off by at least 3 books.
So I've read & logged 46 I think, but it shows I've read 49 or so.
Is there any way to take the blank ones off?
I hope this makes sense.

Hi, Ingrid! Unfortunately, there is no way to remove books that have been added. I'm sorry. I wouldn't worry too much about the count being off, though; just keep on reading! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks so much for your quick response! I won't worry about it. I was just going to fix it if I could.
Enjoy your day!

Job from a book? Duh, Rivendell (or even librarian in Minas Tirith -after the war), or maybe a traveling library through Rohan, on horseback. Or librarian in the royal library in Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar (awesome series of series).
