I like the way you organized your reads :) I'm eying some of them as well, but I don't think I'm able to squeeze them in...
silly question: how does one insert stars?
On the Phone, I've got an extra keybord with Smileys and Co,otherwise I use Copy&Paste... But maybe Virinie has a more elegant way? 😂

To be honest, I don't think I'll be able to squeeze in my schedule even a fourth of those reads lol. It's more a list of books I have available... should I catch the "scheduling-madness" and invite people to some BRs :)

Thank you Annie! I hate using the app so I think I will regretfully resign from having stars in my reviews.
Mayim wrote: "silly question: how does one insert stars?"I'm doing it the old-fashioned way: copy-paste!
That's why I have a header with all those explanations. It's not for other people to understand my system but for lazy me to just copy-paste the links and symbols... :p
Why not steal them from Virginie and paste them in your tracker as well? :)
Anni wrote: "On the Phone, I've got an extra keybord with Smileys and Co,otherwise I use Copy&Paste... But maybe Virinie has a more elegant way? 😂"
No elegant solution here, just barbaric copy-paste haha.
I think that, depending on the navigator, some extensions/addons can give you access to the smileys & symbols, just like on a phone.
Now I know why I went with Monet for Anni. Its bcuz all the stars in the night are here...
Bienvenue...Virginieeeeee....
Oh and
(view spoiler)
Happy?
Awwww, I love The Starry Night (La Nuit Etoilée) :DNow, my tracker's all pretty. I'm very, very happy :) :) :)
Thank you! *blow kisses your way*
:-)Yeah it is somethin' isn't it? I like the café scenes too...but this one...it needs you to be in a kind of mood to be truly evocative...
I hope you opened the spoiler too....
These cupcakes look delicious Zaara :) Now I have to go and find some chocolate to nibble while reading 🍫

Yes I did. And then I went to buy some chocolate to satisfy my sudden craving haha.
Finished my March BRs. I abandoned a lot of what originally planned for the month (went from 13 to 4 BRs :o) but enjoyed each one thoroughly.

Diana Stormblessed wrote: "That's quite a drop. That's awesome that you got to enjoy your reading month :-) "Yeah. I guess I only kept those I was really eager to read ;)
Oooooh, thank you so much Zaara sweety! I love the paintings, especially the Soul of the Rose. You're right about the hair, it does remind me of Ghost :)We def need to share beverage one day. I predict epic drunken conversations x)
Virginie...do you follow anyone who makes book-related videos on youtube??
There's book-related videos on Youtube?!?EDIT: Oh wow, it really is a thing!
:-) oh wait till you find the planner and bullet journaling community...there's a couple videos I wanted to share with you, if this was your kinda thing....Haha...I sent Alice down the rabbithole....
😈 no no wait, you are team fluffers....come back here and continue reading...
Mod
Zaara Gut Siscourator: "Doesn't the hair remind you a bit of our Anni?"Well thank you both :) Even if I have no idea why you think so. It's not exactly my haircolour and I wear my hair open most of the time, but I won't complain! 😂
I had a complete "huh" moment...Hey Anni come chk out @Fimbar's completely organised and neat shelves...I'm currently looking at his thrillers...

Hehe, fire away your recommendations :)
I'm somewhat into a mini-reading slump, maybe video reviews will help me get back into it :D
Eh...I know you sent me a picture of your journal page but I can't see it...the screen goes black/blank and hangs when I click the link and I wrote ye abt it...did tou get the message? Bcuz something is weirdly wrong with my PMs too. The emvelope thingy is always bold with a 1 on it but when I open the messages there's nothing new...heh, I reckon it was a new message from you??Sorry...i guess you waiting for a response on it??
I did write....
Heeeh, that's weird. I didnt send you any message after your "crappy borrowed piece of sh*t" one.Didn't get any other message either. I'll re-upload the pic and send another link to you when I get home!
Virginie wrote: "Heeeh, that's weird. I didnt send you any message after your "crappy borrowed piece of sh*t" one."Brevity AND crass??? That is deffo one of my PM personas. Yasss that was the message I was referring to daaahlin' 😂😝
And regarding this:
Virginie wrote: "Aaaand I forgot 😅"
No worries.
You are already doing far too much...and I appreciate that you even took time out the first time...
It'll happen when it happens.
Meanwhile (view spoiler)
Dunno if you can see it here. I'll edit it out once you've read it 'cause I'm being all shy about my handwriting ;)(view spoiler)
I know it's supposed for Zaara, but I'm far too nosy 😅 Sorry! But I love your handwritig, it's very beautiful!
Same!!! You have gorgeous writing, and such a lovely note 😊
Hahaha! I knew this would happen! There was no way our resident stalker-Ghost would miss this note hehe ;)Thank you both, you're kind.
I'm very aware that I didn't even write straight now... Whoops :p
And you wrote me an actual full letter? I LOVE letters...how'd you know? Oh Virginie! You spoil me...Dobby is very grateful, thank you...everything abt this is beautiful...the fine mind more than the goodly words...
The words more than this very pretty handwriting.
But the heart that made the words is the most beautiful of all...
EDIT: Please DON'T edit it out...😘
*cunningly saved the image*
What happened today?
I'm gone 24 hours and there's all this love...Ron sent me flowers...today must deffo 😂 be my birthday!!

What kind of a silly question is that? That's because you deserve it, darling. ;)
Virginieeee!!! (She says whiningly). Come read the next succubus with me.
I just stalked your profile and wow did you go over your Goodreads challenge.
Dianaaaaaaaaa!!! Did you finish Succubus Dreams already? Let me comment on it, finish The Last Wish and I'm game :)
Diana Stormblessed wrote: "I just stalked your profile and wow did you go over your Goodreads challenge."Heh! I set that challenge before deciding to log on my mangas (because poiiints!). Seeing "You're X books behind schedule" was stressing me so I left it at 52 xD
Mod

Goodreads thinks I'm 43 books behind... really, I'm 32 books ahead...
I wish you could choose to challenge in pages read... that would even out mangas and 10 page short stories...
@Iain: You could always do your own challenge on your spreadsheet with the pagecount :)
Virginie wrote: "Thanks sweety!"Virginie...as spreadsheet queen n all, here is a theormetical question....is it possible to replace a book link with another link? So the title of the book looks normal...but when you click it goes to some other place? Possible right? Since (Goodreads teaches us that) the descriptor of a hyperlink is different from the link itself??
