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

[Claire]

Yay! Thanks for that, I get super serious about point efficiency for these challenges 😄

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

New pics of Ruby coming!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ruby's new outfit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ruby actually in her outfit chewing on a bone. I couldn't get one of her with the lettering showing so sorry about only a bit of her outfit showing. I will try to get a better one of her soon.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Picture of Ruby in her outfit looking a mommy. You can see a lot of her toys and her bowls and stuff in this pic. I should really take more pics... :P

[Klancy]

She’s so smol and cute! :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

She is!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[Jamie]

Noo! I am stuck on my phone until late tonight so I can’t see them yet. 😥

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I find you can sometimes see them on the app. You just have to refresh a few times.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Or can you maybe see them on my blog? I can link it if you think that's easier?

[Berit☀️✨]

What kind of dog is she? Just trying to figure out how big she will get?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is the biggest of the toy breed. She will be about 15 lbs? Maybe a little less.

[Berit☀️✨]

OK I have a Frenchy and a Frenchy pug mix so about the same size maybe a little bit bigger, so cute!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Yup about that size. I think the hair might make her seem bigger. She is going to have a lot of hair! lol.

[Wolf (Alpha)]

I'm back. Can I go solo for this challenge please Sarah?

[Jamie]

Sorry Book wasn’t trying to ignore you. My break was over. I get off in a few hrs so I will see them then. Refresh doesn’t work but the app and my phone have never gotten along.

She does! I'm hoping to get another outfit for her next month. She's not a huge fan but she tolerates them okay. :)

[✨Skye✨]

If anyone is around to offer some encouragement, I'm currently 400 words into a 1500 word essay that's due in 12 hours! (It's 11 at night here in the UK, so I'm going to have a very late night xD)

[Abby]

Go, Skye! Been there done that and certainly don't envy you!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

[Heather]

You got this skye!! Keep at it girl

[Jill]

All nighters are for getting papers done!! You got this Skye!!

[Vicki]

Skye, I had 5 children and was going through a divorce when I went to college, and I did my best work late at night into the morning hours. I focused better in a situation like that. Everyone is different but somehow I have a feeling you got this!! Good luck! :)

[✨Skye✨]

Thanks for the pep talk everyone! :)

[Wolf (Alpha)]

You got this Skye! Celebrate after you're done. Pick something to look forward to. That's what I'm doing on Saturday, I have my SAT, but after, I'm hanging out with some friends. It works!

[Celia]

@Sarah what's this group's rule on omnibuses (multiple books in one)?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Do you mean with regard to how many times the authors have been shelved? Or something else? ☺

[Aly]

Sarah, for the Bandwagon points of book has been a buddy read before, do you mean just a regular buddy read or a group buddy read that people voted for?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's just a regular buddy read, but GBRs will count too ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think I've finally finished April's challenge, so I'll be going through scores, and messaging those people in Serious and Medium teams who haven't checked in tomorrow ☺

[Heather]

Yay!!

[Reading Rediscovered]

How do I find out how many times an author has been 'shelved'? I can find ratings and reviews but I just can't seem to find this piece of info!

[Berit☀️✨]

Jessica Sarah posted how to find that out at the top of the thread, I think it’s in two different places :-)

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!).

Here is an example from one of the books I'm reading.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

*You have to go one step further than just clicking on the author's names and actually go to the page where all their books are listed.*

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Go to the author profile.

Go to their books section and find the 'more' books link.

Click it and at the top under the author there will be a 'shelved' section. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Jessica, Berit is right and it's posted on message 2, right at the bottom, if you go to message 3 - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and scroll up a bit you'll see it.
Tiera has also copied it in her comment ☺

Sorry it's a bit of an odd one, it's one of those things on Goodreads that you either know how to find or you don't I'm afraid ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thank you Berit, Tiera, and Bookbuyer ☺
