OK - this is more like it. 6 books
118 shelves
Man there are some really serious readers in this group. Not that I was near the top in the other group, but WOW! Good Going guys.
Hey Angela - You are aware that the above list is not in order by the number of shelves, right? Actually, there may only be one out of order, Dalene has 159 shelves, but is between 114 and 118? Or am I seeing it wrong.
I probably forgot to delete it!! Thanks!!

This may be it for me. I'm going back to school for my Masters and classes start Tues and I have to work 12 hour shifts this weekend and Monday. Who knows I may be able to get one or two more in, I'll see how it goes. It's been fun so far and good luck getting shelves!
I just bought a great back to school book for my 10 year old niece - The Truth (I’m a Girl, I’m Smart and I Know Everything!), is a journey with a 10 year old girl. As her diary, this book is meant for any child, parent, aunt or uncle, grandparent or friend whose life includes a young girl. Open the door to her worries, joys & fears. Buy it and get $7500 in bonuses - http://tinyurl.com/m8ooto
Ack! Finished more books and forgot to add to my list! Ahahaha. Cross fingers that I hit more shelves! This is fun!

I definately smell spam, Roseann. *holds nose* I even think Denise has a special spot in Spammer's Hell!

Good luck on your masters. Just keep in mind, that if you do finish any books (even ones for classes) that are on Goodreads and hit the correct shelves, we have until October 31 to post. you'd be surprised what textbooks are on here!
Angela - I made an error in my reporting post yesterday (you think I would be able to read my own spreadsheet.) Anyway - it should be6 books
120 shelves.

I just sent her an email. Let's see what she does...

I was teaching a morning class, working full time, studying for and preparing lessons for my class... housework, feeding the hubby (and 4 pets)... I felt like I never had any time to read. So I started listening to audiobooks (CDs from the library) in the car to and from work, running around town on errands... while cleaning and cooking (on the laptop, or you can burn the CDs and put them on your mp3 player of choice)...
It's nice, because I felt like that time in the car, etc. wasn't being UTTERLY WASTED, and it's REALLY amazing how much I don't mind traffic or cleaning now... ;)
Anyway... update:
222 shelves
14 books
12 books189 shelves
Finally hit a book with a lot of shelves!
199 shelves.9 books.
Only hit one this time. :(
92 shelves3 books
Only got two out of that one. Hopefully the next will be better. :)
228 shelves16 books
I have a feeling it's going to be slow going from here... The last three books I've read only had 2, 2, and 4 unique shelves. Maybe if I stopped reading YA and romance novels and tried branching out, I'd get somewhere...? ;)
Does anyone know where I can get an inspirational Christian theology textbook on photography, architecture, and economics? That would really help with some shelves... ;)
20 books128 shelves
I'm moving away from series a bit.
10 books.200 shelves.
Only hit one this time, but it was "-"!!

Congratz! That's a hard one. I've had several books that "-" shows up on the 6th page... ugh! :)
I never look at the sixth page, cuz I really don't want to know. LOL. I only did it once and regretted it
