73% reflects that I really like horror. We might need separate libraries in our house Niki, so my books don’t scare yours 😉

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

Hahaha you know I won't go near those shelves - the covers alone scare me too much! That makes sense. :)

I LOVE Matilda! Not sure Ro will like it yet. She might :) I really want to see the musical version that Tim Michin wrote the music for.

I got 81% with Virginie & Zaara
85% with Chris
87% with Lola!"

Whoa! Hello reading buddy!
Surprising I am that compatible with anyone haha! Considering I read a weird variety of books and tend to be into a lot books that other people seem to love...

[Chris]

Nice! How was it? I'll update the spreadsheet :)"

I really enjoyed it! It's what I've been looking for since Halloween! So I basically read it every second that I had the chance to. I didn't find it scary like I expected. Very entertaining though!

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

Nice!! That cover has been spooking me at the bookstore for years. :)

[Chris]

My first thought reading this: "Huh... Bookish threesome?"

[Diana Stormblessed]

No one likes me! (cue tears) Why are my ratings so low with everyone? Does this mean I'm inconsistent in my ratings? (This actually might be true since I put a low of weight on how the story made me feel at the time I read it).

I tend to avoid romance reads like the plague though so that might be why we're not as compatible!

[Lena]

Wow 95%. That’s close to True (Book) Love.

I think the compatibility is only of books that both parties read and rated. Things that I read and you didn't, or vice versa, shouldn't count. Unless I'm understanding it wrong.

[Miche]

I believe it is only for books both parties rated. So a 75% with 100 books in common might be, in theory, more compatible than a 95% with just 5. :)

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

I think it also takes a small sample size, as opposed to your entire read bookshelf. Maybe.

[Miche]

I might have been wrong. I think it also take in consideration the to read shelf.

[Miche]

Weird, since I last checked my number with Niki changed. We probably added and ranked books during the day, causing the changes.

Right now, in % with the group:

Chris - 95%
Niki - 88%
Zaara - 87%
Liam - 85%
Petrik - 85%
Rea - 85%
Veronica - 81%
Lola - 80%
Diana - 79%
Elizabeth - 79%
Lena 75%
Silvana 73%


However, if I take in consideration the number of books in common the rank changes to:

Niki - 143 books
Diana - 126 books
Liam - 98 books
Petrik - 90 books
Elizabeth - 75 books
Silvana - 72 books
Veronica - 71 books
Chris - 65 books
Rea - 52 books
Zaara - 49 books
Lola - 48 books
Lena - 18 books

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

Nice!! I love stuff like this haha.

[Lena]

Gasp! It’s like we barely know each other Miche!

[Miche]

Lena wrote: "Gasp! It’s like we barely know each other Miche!"

I am glad you made to our group! We can "corrupt" you now! ;-)

[Lena]

Awe thanks Miche. I’ve never been so happy to be corrupted. By this time next year I’m sure we’ll be more compatible.

[Miche]

Lena wrote: "Awe thanks Miche. I’ve never been so happy to be corrupted. By this time next year I’m sure we’ll be more compatible."

I am sure we will!

[Miche]

I just noticed something interesting: even if we add up the number of comments in the other groups threads, we are still ahead!

Go team! <3

[Lena]

That’s right Miche. Winners.

I'm all packed and waiting for my plane! Destination: Almeria, Spain! 😎

I've got my tablet so I should be able to post here (and update the spreadsheet for Lena) but in case I don't...

See you next week, Tome Raiders!!! :)

Have a great one, Virginie!

[Kris]

I have heard too many great things about Malice now. I am very tempted to join the BR for it. Can I make time? *sigh*

[Zaara]

You know what I'm (cunningly) waiting for? Everyone will post their compatibilities and then I will just compile my list from theirs
#totalcheater
I love how my brain finds ingenious ways to overcome my tech disabilities. I would guess there is a weird button or spredsheet for how y'all do all this creepy compatibility percentages but I like my way better. Cuz I'm biased.
Where is Ron's post? Did I miss it? Muhaaaahaaaa. I love how Ron hates the math jezzt like me.
😜😂

@Lola...hadn't heard of that version so thanks.

[Virginie]

Thanks everyone! Waiting the board the plane right now.
I'm so excited, I'm going to visit a friend I haven't seen in a year. A bookish friend. She likes wine and worships Sanderson. It's going to be AMAZING!

[Zaara]

@Lola...ideas are free to steal...
