You're on a roll Lena!

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

Wow! Great job Lena! Thanks for picking up my slack. ;P

[Lena]

It’s been a great Sunday! ☺️

[Virginie]

Great job Lena! Your spreadsheet is up to date :) You're very close to breaking the 200 points :o

[Kris]

I finally finished Circe for 4.9 points - took me way too long, but I have had a busy week :) Really awesome read.

[Lena]

Nice to hear, I have a copy of Circe on the way.

[Miche]

Great job, Lena!

Great job, Lola! I have this one on my to read list. :)

[Kris]

I loved it! :)

[Kris]

Just finished Little Beast. It was only short and I was not impressed... My first 2-star read of the year! Only 1.9 points for this one, but it still counts :)

[Lena]

Finished 3 Stars

[Virginie]

Lena, could you please give me the page number of your edition? Can't find it anywhere :'(

Great job otherwise! That cover is creepy :o

[Lena]

Finished 4 Stars

I should have at least a word count available by the end of the month on Nightmare Magazine.

[Virginie]

@Lena: Nevermind, I looked at previous issues of the magazines and averaged the page counts. Your scoresheet is up to date :)
I'm curious though... Where do you find those magazines? Digital editions?

We actually haven't discussed magazines yet. I'm not sure if they count and what value they're given. I'll ask today.

[Lena]

I think of them as Anthologies. Literary magazines are short story, poetry, novella, and non fiction collections. They’re wonderful! I think if you just throw out the word "magazine" people will think of People or one of the many celebrity rags read while waiting at the checkout.

I'm inclined to count these as an anthology. You're right there is a huge difference. We'll include it in the rules next year. I don't know that they'll count full points, but I'll remember to add them.

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

I kept forgetting to update my spreadsheet over the last two weeks, and meanwhile I finished a crap-ton of books. Added 49 points. ^_^.

Woohoo! Nice!

As I'm going through my challenges, I've noticed that I'm running out of easy challenge space. Soon I'm not going to be able to use those points :'-(

You can do what some did and just create a cover challenge - phase two and add a bunch of new categories lol.

Wait, some people did that? That's almost like cheating!

Great job Diana and Cap' !

lmao, it's only cheating if you add the categories as you go. ;) Like, hey, I just finished all systems red - that fills my new "robot" category haha.

[Virginie]

Nah, I just went crazy and added more than 70 categories.
You know, just to cover my bases.

[Virginie]

@Lena: Scoresheet updated

[Lena]

Thanks Virginie!

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

70? Haha that's awesome.

[Miche]

Great job, team!

The most popular edition on goodreads has 560 pages. Quite a difference. But lucky you since the rules are to go by most popular edition ;-)

Ditto for me, Miche. I hate it when my series covers don't match. :-(

Diana Stormblessed wrote: "Y'all just don't like snakes. I wish they stayed with the black background. Even Iron Gold would have looked better on black imo."

What is the significance of the snakes anyway? I don't recall snakes in the story.

I was just boring @Anni today with a catalogue of my GoT T-shirts."

Is this potential typo meant for me? Even if not, Virginie is absolutely the cutest. :-)

[Veronica]

I'll be doing a batch update soonish, though I may wait until I finish Memories of Ice (which I just started).

[Zaara]

Haha yeah yeah VeROM/Nica...all @Rom typos are herewith officially addressed to you. My spelling is atrocious! 😝 the irony that I actually sometimes teach the language.
And good on ya 4 yous batch update. I'm still reading DG 😂 + nagging The Cutest to start the series. Is all still counting as karma in the Malaz universe.
