Does anyone know how to permanently stop a book you haven't read from showing you read it? Don't know if I explained that right.I've X'ed the read date for
about 5 times in the last month and it keeps popping up as read. :(

Hopefully it fixes itself then. I've also just noticed that some of my read dates are wrong or missing altogether. What is happening to Goodreads? D:
I'm going to have to start writing down all my dates and books somewhere other than goodreads and keeping track of my owned books as well. This is going to be a major headache. -.-
It's also not letting me use my all shelf well. I frequently get a 'Goodreads request took too long.' Pop up. :/

Yup. I foresee Goodreads closing down in the next few years. It will be Inkpop all over again but much more devastating. D:

Same. I'm on Goodreads a solid 6 hours a day if not more. It's basically my life. But Inkpop was as well and it's gone now. :/

It was a writing site that went down about 10 years ago? I was on there a lot pre goodreads. It launched a few authors. One being Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil

I want both. No use using it if it’s not usable.

If the same thing happens to GR I really don't know what I'll do. No more sprinting, no more challenges, will I even read anything again? Who knows without this motivation. Where will I keep track of my books :/

Thank you, Abbie! :D
Sarah or Abbie, question so for books we do not finish in the month but we review pages I was talking to Maddison that we can still turn in reviews for those pages and finish the next month. So do you get the other points the next month? Like it if is a 500 page book and you read 300 pages this month can I turn those in this month and then the other 2 next month (or another month as I think MMC might be stricter but not sure)?And how does that work on something like his that goes over max? We were discussing this on Battle Royal which has 1000 page count and she turned it in at 67% done, giving her 12 points with the BR I would think that if we do that we cannot turn in the rest another time as that is what the max should be but just checking.
I never knew we could claim partially read books both months... All these years! To teammates I have cost points for this on books I couldn't finish, I apologize.

yes, you can turn in partially read books at the end of the month for both page points and buddy read points, as long as you write a review and have made 4 buddy read comments. You can also then turn in the book again the following month as long as you either add details to your original review, or write a new review, and earn points for the pages read in the new month (you can also earn buddy read points if you have made 4 new comments on the thread).
So if you read 300 pages of a 500 page book in july, you can claim 3 points, and then claim 2 points for the other 200 pages in august.
The max points thing goes out the window a bit when you spread it over 2 months, as if you read 600 pages in july you could claim 6 points, and if you read the next 400 pages in august you could claim a further 4 points in august.
Books which are only partially read can't be used to cross off descriptions or earn bonus points though, so you do lose out a little bit in that respect.

Hey Abbie!
a query. so i just post my book and review link and you will add me to the scoresheet?
and you will count page numbers or I should mention the edition which i read?
Manju - once you post a review she will add you to the scores. Follow the instructions in the thread about how to post reviews. You should link your review, the page count (using the highest edition on goodness), and a buddy thread if you have one. And also include how your book firs the category.
Manju wrote: "Abbie wrote: "Manju wrote: "I would like to join for Solo challenge. Can i still join?"Of course :) here's the solo thread; https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/......"
There is a format that is posted on the review thread.
Please post reviews as follows -
Description: (Eg: 3 words in title/ 384 pages/ '3' in ISBN.)
Review: Link
Buddy: Link
Pages: Link (Please use highest page count you can find)
Just input the info as required. :D
Also the mods keep track of the points.
thanks!just one more question, which date should i start counting books towards this challenge? July 1st or the day i signed up?
