one more question - you mentioned .5 booksso does like - The Drowned (7.5) and Getting Wound Up (2.5) - could for 10? i'm assuming yes, but just checking
Do sequels in a two book thing count? I'm going to be reading Us Against You which is now listed on GR as Beartown #2. I have no idea if there will be a third one.I LOVE the sum of the number thing for books over the number 18.

Tien - did anyone ask about books that are at different points in separate series yet? For example Reaper Man is #11 is Discworld and #2 in Death. I'm assuming you can count either series you'd like but not both (for instance I couldn't count the 7 and 11 to get 18 in one book? Just wondering :-)
Mod
yes, please pick one of the series and not both. Either one which works for your :)

Just to let you know, Charity, that you can use #11-18 as 11-18.... so you can have

You only have to add the numbers up, if they're >18.
Mod
But are you saying that, for numbers from 11-18, we can choose whether to use them the way they are OR add them up? That never occurred to me as a possibility. I thought #11 would have to be used as 11.

Thanks for the tip...part of the reason is so I get through another book in a series :-) and so I'm not caught reading out of order!
Mod
It's not specifically ruled on one way or another so yes, a choice :)
I kinda thought that everyone would like to use #11 as 11 seeing that it'll help with the sum

No worries, I thought I'd let you know, just in case :)
