If you can show a tag for humor or its on a list for humor or satire.
What book or books are you looking to use?

Next year, I will add comedy to it.

[Angie Elle]

I was looking at The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory.

[Angie Elle]

I actually just saw that it was tagged humor by three people. Is that enough?

Yes of course! I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve just returned from vacation with my family and I will go through the threads to catch up on stamps as well as put out fires like missing players.

I wanted to say that some people are changing books without letting captains know. The purpose of posting a selection post is so your captain and/or I can let you know if your book didn’t qualify. It sucks to read a book only to find out it didn’t meet the requirements of the shelf.
It’s okay to DNF or change your mind, just let us know what’s going on.
So please work with us. Thanks

[Shan ~A~]

Sorry for the inconvenience. I didn’t post a new selection post due to the fact so barely have access to a computer right now since the fan on mine needs to be replaced or I may just have to buy a new one.

I was reading that book anyway so it wasn’t a big deal. I honestly wasn’t sure if my other book would work either.

I will check when I’m on a better device to see if my book worked.

You are good. I checked your book already.

Ezi would you take The series is magical romantic comedies...not shelved humor but it doesn't many shelves. The first book in the series has only been shelved 9 times humor.

It is fine. It is tagged as “humour” which is the British spelling but it’s still humor!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Today’s Shelf...once completed will give four in a row to:
Team 11
Team 14

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Hi Linda,
On the thread dealing with shelves, i mentioned ANY year is fine. Also, we are free to read ANY nominated book. We don’t to limit to Winners. Hopefully that gives an array of options.
Thanks

**Thank you Plethora for the Link

How long will you leave us in torment on what the next shelf will be?

[Agnieszka]

Would you accept books by two authors using together one pen name? I'd like to read a book by Nicci French - used for books written by Nicci Gerrard & Sean French (a married couple)

Oh it wasn't you, it was a GR bug. Yesterday I wasn't able to acces one of the books on my shelf and started to doubt myself. Today I have no issues :-)

[Kirsty]

Hi Ezi. Would you accept the book I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer as this was written by Michelle MacNamara but then the afterward was done by somebody else?

Hey Ezi. . .this book is in production. . .will it qualify for this week?
Passionflix Coming Soon

[Angie Elle]

For this weeks category, does it have to already be adapted? Or can it be upcoming?

[Alejandro]

Hello @Ezi. Im fr team 10 more minutes. Have quick question.
The book "The Memoirs of Sherlock " by A.C. Doyle...... is that ok for current shelf being called? I have seen series episodes on tv and netflix. Not certain that series was derived fr this book or other books by this author.
Main issue I am uncertain about is that I havent been able to find it in a Listopia, Popular, or Best book list......... in which it appears as "book to tv/movie".
I guess this is your call or one of the other mods.
Thank you .

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Yes. I’ll accept it as I’ve seen the production info

What book are you looking at?

Daisy Jones & the Six.

If you look on IMDb, you will see there was a TV series based on the book, so YES, your book is definitely acceptable.
For your own reference, here is the link to the tv series info: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0108855/

Angie Elle wrote: "Daisy Jones & the Six."

Aaah yes. It works. I saw that Amazon ordered a mini series with Reese Witherspoon producing it. I enjoyed that audiobook a lot!!!

[Jade aka MrsTosh]

Would I be ok to use - as True Blood was based on the Sookie Stackhouse series and this is book 12 in the series? Thanks Ezi

[LaurLa]

What about series books in general where a movie/TV show was adapted from the series concept and/or the first book - could we use any book from that series? I'm thinking like:

The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich where technically the only movie is from the first book, but would we be able to use any book from the series?

The Temperance Brennan series where the whole TV show concept is based on the series but none if it really follow the series books themselves.

Does a shelf have to have that exact tag, or if it has a tag with that word, is that okay? For instance, if I were reading for the thriller category, and a book was tagged as "historical thriller" but not downright "thriller," can I still use it?

Can you state the book? I prefer the just the tag Thriller or Suspense

Okay. There's just a few books I've found that with. But I will try to look for ones that just fit those tags.

[Celia]

For the movie category, can I read a book that was based off a movie? I'm thinking of As Old As Time, which is part of the Disney series Twisted Tales, so the books are directly based off the Disney movies they represent, although the stories usually take a darker turn.

[Celia]

Also, the book I was looking at for "thriller" is tagged "thriller mystery horror" but not just plain "thriller." Will this work? It is If I Should Die Before I Wake by Han Nolan, and the tag is on its third page of tags.

Please put all requests in the Stamp Me thread. And this should be only done by the captain or co-captain who was charged with checking for sufficiency.
Thanks
