Are we at 92 or 96?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I think 92.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Yes 92.

I'm trying to get a lot more nonfiction in my mix this year, partly for a challenge on another page and partly just to broaden my horizons. But a lot of the ones I like are both long and emotionally draining and I can only read ten or fifteen pages at a time. Otherwise I'm forcing it.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I don't really like non fiction so I commend you. ^-^

[Celia]

It's taking a while to get into, but I want to try. I've got a lot of nervous energy right now though and I'm having a little trouble reading serious stuff or even just concentrating on books and homework and stuff. But thanks for your vote of confidence.

[Aly]

Thanks Jenny. I never remember to put my books on the spreadsheet :(

I remember about half the time. lol.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Jenny. I think I miscalculated my Wicked King book. Doesn't BOTM have a separate score thing. Like triple or something?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

BOTM will TRIPLE your page points.

Yes I was right. So how do we put that in the SS???

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Oh and I also just posted it too. ^-^

[Felicia]

Oops. Totally didn't make the ss with that in mind. If you just changed the BR points to what it actually is then it will add it into the total for you in the last column. Sorry.

I don't know what that means. You mean in the individual thing? Cause otherwise BR points are added automatically when you add in Yes or No.

[Jammin Jenny]

I fixed it - just put twice the number of BR points in that cell so now you got triple points Book.

Thanks. I couldn't figure out how to do it. The formulas scare me. I think I'm going to mess it up somehow. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

That's also probably why the score thing was confusing us all yesterday. You said 96 and the SS said 92. Now I think it all makes sense. :P

[Felicia]

It was going to mess up the formula. But only for that cell. And that's okay cause the formula made your points incorrect anyways.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ah KK. Glad Jenny was braver than me anyway. :P

[Felicia]

Y'all only need 7 more points to reach the weekly goal! If you guys can get books in before 11:59pm EST tonight totaling 7 points you'll get the bonus points! :D

[Jammin Jenny]

I'm trying!!!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Uh do manga count? And from last week ish? I read them last week but didn't count them as I hate doing manga review. I think I have about 7?

[Jammin Jenny]

I think manga count at 1/4 just like graphic novels.

[Felicia]

Yes, they count as 1/4 though. So what I do is when you post a large group of manga I just add all the books pages together and divide by four and that's the page count you get points for.

[Jammin Jenny]

So in the SS put 1/4 of the total pages in the page count for each book.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Okay I have Vampire Knight, Vol. 5-10. Each I think is over 200 pages so I think about 300 pages total so 3 points? I might be able to do some more manga tonight but I'm working on the SS. I'll do the reviews for the manga shortly. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

So instead of 208 I'd put like 50-ish?

[Felicia]

Jammin Jenny wrote: "So in the SS put 1/4 of the total pages in the page count for each book."

So if you have five manga all at 200 pages each I'd do:

200 x 5 = 1000 divided by 4 = 250. And that 250 is what I'd put in for pages. Under the 'book' column I'm just putting manga.

[Jammin Jenny]

I'm working on another Anita Blake book so I'll get BR points too. 8 points (4 points + BR)

KK. I'm adding them one by one for now and just editing that one post.

It's actually 6 manga and the total is 1220

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

So I was right just 5 more than 300! Go me! ^-^

Why is she dying!? O.O

[Aly]

I have a book I'm almost finished with. It's 481 pages so there's a few points. I will post it ASAP

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Awesome! I think that will be our 7 points then???

lol. :P

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Just two more reviews to do! :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Dooooooooooooooooooooooone!

[Jammin Jenny]

Yay!

[Celia]

So I'm not sure, but I might read Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds which is a compilation in all three books in the Legion series. If so, should I count all three books together or separately, since it is one physical book but it is three different novels?

[Brittany]

What day does a new week start on? I originally put my book on week 3, but I don't actually think we were on week 3 since it was moved. haha. I've been kind of absent for this challenge, but hopping back on the train and will now be more active!

[Felicia]

Weeks go from 12am on Tuesday morning to 11:59pm EST on Monday nights.

[Felicia]

Great job on week two everyone! Week three is going to be super easy at a goal of 100! :D

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

100 almost seems to easy. But then I remember I can't read right now despite being super bored. :/

I'm guessing you could choose either way? But if you want to be sure you could ask in the Q&A thread.

Since the first book is under 100 pages I would count it as the bound up rather than individual. :)
