Hi Carolyn, most books will count, there are just bonus points if you're reading popular books which you have never read before (so those with lots of ratings like twilight and the hunger games), or if you're reading books which haven't become popular yet (so those with very low numbers of ratings). If you have any questions feel free to ask ☺
Can I join a For Fun Team again? Thanks!
Serious please :) will have much more time in May!
Question: The book The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater would count as popular, right?
Question:
is a novel in verse. Do you count this as a novel or poetry?
Mod
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater has 210,505 ratings, and Maggie Stiefvater has been shelved 2,726,912 times.
So going with Bandwagon bonus points -
+2 points if your book has more than 30,000 ratings on Goodreads OR be written by an author who has been 'shelved' at least 100,000 times on Goodreads. ✔ Yes
+2 points if your book has more than 500,000 ratings on Goodreads OR be written by an author who has been 'shelved' at least 1,670,000 times on Goodreads. ✔ Yes
+2 points if your book has more than 1,000,000 ratings on Goodreads OR be written by an author who has been 'shelved' at least 3,340,000 times on Goodreads. ✖ No.
(and yes, those add up ☺)
+2 points if your chosen book has been made into a film or TV series. ✖ No.
+2 points if your book has been buddy read in this group before (prior to May 2019). ✔ Yes
+2 points if your book was first published more than 10 years ago (prior to May 1st 2009). ✖ No.
So that would be 6 bonus points ☺
(as long as you haven't read it before ☺)
Mod
is a novel in verse. Do you count this as a novel or poetry?"That one would count as poetry, if you look on the right hand side of the books Goodreads page it has been shelved 1,660 times as poetry, so we'd count it as poetry too ☺

I haven't read it before, Sarah, so that's good for me.

I learned some really good tidbits today. My mom called the breeder to ask some questions like what is she eating, and what type of toy does she like etc.So I'm going to get at least a day's worth of food when I get her so I can start to switch her over to the brand I want to use.
She has no strong preference for specific toys.
She is shy! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 She has a sister who is even more shy though! lol.
She doesn't like the flash of the camera. Probably why there aren't a ton of her facing the camera and the ones she is she looks scared. 😍😭😍❤❤
She is already paper trained!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ She knows to go potty on newspaper!
I think that was it? Oh and her sister who is shy is going to Winnipeg on the plane! O.o That will be a very traumatized pup. I thought the few hours drive for mine was already pushing it.
Oh and when can you post kitty pictures! I'm in withdrawal here!

Aww... you'll break here of that shyness. Heck, you broke me :)
Although I sympathize with flash cameras. Especially with those big eyes.
Anna 'Bookbuyer' wrote: "Oh and when can you post kitty pictures! I'm in withdrawal here!"Yes kitten pics too! All the adorable pet pics wanted!!

I really hope too. I'm going to be taking her everywhere I can. I'm hoping I can maybe make her a service dog instead of an emotional support dog but it's unlikely. She does fit for emotional support dog though. She's just not able to go in all the stores with me then. :(
lol. I don't think you were exceptionally shy to begin with. :P
Oh definitely. I also figured out why she looks so sad in the pics posted to day. She was weaned on Friday. She's all confused and sad!

Did you see the new pics in April thread? Not quite as cute but she's adorable no matter what. :)
I'm back. Sorry helping hubby get our countertops into the house. Bit heavy/awkward to do alone. :)And I did. She is so cute! Although good to know why she keeps looking away. But I love those big eyes of hers!
Oh yeah. You were doing a kitchen renovation right? Soooooooooooooooo adorable. I can't wait to see her in person. I want to hoooooooooooooooooooooooold her.

Poor baby not getting her nutrition how she is used to it. I'd look sad too.
She is not liking being weaned. I noticed for the first time she has those tear stains in the pics. None of her other pics had them. She was literally tearing up because of it. :(
Fun team please!This challenge concept is awesome! The perfect opportunity to finally read my backlog of Cassandra Clare books :D

Yeah. Countertops took forever to come in though! And then we had to wait until he had a couple days off together to install them. Guess what today and tomorrow are? lol
That's annoying. So no reading today and tomorrow then. lol. Maybe you can audio? :)
Nope to audio. He can't stand me listening to audiobooks out loud and I need to be able to listen so no earbuds. But I can actually read a bit. Most of it is him doing this part unless he needs a second pair of hands. Otherwise I am just in the way. So as long as I can quickly put down the book it is no worries. :)
My brother can't stand it either. My mom doesn't mind. Awesome. Your hubby sounds fantastic. ^-^

He is :)
Hey Sarah, of the Bandwagon, the second bonus says 500,000 rating but author only needs 167,000? That doesn't make much sense. As that would make the book that as wellAnd that 1,000,000 is going to be insane tough! Even with nearly 13,000 books on my TBR only 10 or so have that many ratings! Such a huge jump from the original 30,000!

Your are missing a 1 in that 167000 Jamie. lol. ^_^

I would play with him!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
That is what I am thinking but not what the first page there says. Just double checked."+2 points if your book has more than 500,000 ratings on Goodreads OR be written by an author who has been 'shelved' at least 167,000 times on Goodreads."

I have maybe 25? I have a few triples though so it might be a bit more or a bit less.
