Updated! Good job :)

Virginie | 6133 comments @Lena: scoresheet up to date! You're a reading monster!


message 2260: by Virginie (new)

Virginie | 6133 comments Veronica, would you mind if I modify your scoresheet a little so it's easier to update? Just creating monthly headers and hiding the details (something similar to Lena's sheet)

So in other words I'm a more creative and effective troll than Margret. :)

Whatever floats your boat, Virginie, go for it. :-)

And thank you! ♥

Virginie | 6133 comments Done! I changed the color scheme a bit as well to make it easier on the eye. I hope you like blue haha.

You can now see your monthly stats at a glance. To expand a month, you have a + on the left.


message 2264: by Veronica (new)

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments Blue suits me just fine. I'll take a look at it when I get home. The spreadsheet won't open for me at work. Thanks again for doing this.

It's going great! I'm going to read The Queen of Crows and Garrison Girl this month though. Both are really short but yeah, it's refreshing to take a break from my favorite genre once in a while. :D

Adding it to my list. I love historical fiction. :-)

Miche | 3279 comments Virginie, I just checked your sheet out and it is very nice! :)

I am ok with a simple one in the group sheet, but I might steal some of your ideas for my personal sheet (not related to the competition).

A refresh is nice! It gets you reinvigorated to tackle all the things (ahem, Malazan). I'm looking forward to your review for Garrison Girl. I think that's the only Aaron I haven't read yet.

My spreadsheet is pink. And exactly how it came in every other aspect lol. I feel like the kid with the chunky flip phone while everyone else is on their iphones. ;P

I like the simplicity, but damn, those trackers are gorgeous!

Yup! They're fantasies, just small ones. But overall this month has been and will be a huge break for me from the genre. :D

I'll let you know. The book take place in one of my favorite anime/manga series, let's see what she cooked up. The YA brand is a bit scary though.... xD

message 2296: by Veronica (new)

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments I was looking at the cover for the book I just finished, The Missing Ones (Detective Lottie Parker, #1) by Patricia Gibney , and I need some input. Does it look like a field to you guys? I can use it for the book cover challenge if so but if not that's fine too. What say you?
