The 'Last on the Bandwagon'/Trendsetter Challenge - May 2019

@Carolyn: It most likely has.
The way you can check though is to search the book title in the search bar just above the 'Books Mentioned In This Topic' section. And then tick the 'only topics' box once you've searched. That'll show you all topics about the book.

The easiest way is to use the search box at the top of the page like Maddison said ☺

If a buddy read is planned but your buddy doesn't show up, you can still claim the buddy read points, as long as you're reading the book within the dates of the buddy read ☺

Sorry, serious scores took me a while!

Where can you find how many times a book is shelved?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Saar, you're not looking for how many times a book has been shelved, you're looking for how many times an author has been shelved (across all their books). Here's how ☺ -

*** If you go to an author's page on Goodreads, like this - Jackson Pearce
Scroll down the page until you see ''author's' books' - eg: 'Jackson Pearce’s books' above the list of books written by that author. Click on ''author's' books' eg: 'Jackson Pearce’s books', and it will bring up another page with a list of books published by that author, if you then look at the top under the author's name it will tell you how many times that author has been shelved. Eg: Jackson Pearce has been shelved 198,871 times (probably more now!).

Hi Wolf, sorry, only just seen your comment, I've just replied to the message you sent me ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi guys, the Serious team spot (on Team Diana Ross) has now been filled, but I do still have one spot open on a Medium team (Team Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis). As this is a medium team we would be looking for someone who is able to read between 8 and 12 books this month ☺ If anyone would like to swap or join, please let me know ☺

[Carolyn]

Will count for page points? I know it will probably not count for any bonuses because of the illustrations in it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Carolyn, this edition - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... has 304 pages, which will earn you 1 page point ☺ You are right that it wouldn't count for bonus points though x
