Andrea, did you start this one in May? Your status updates say that you started reading on April 27th so I wanted to check ☺

And Andrea, I'm afraid that one wouldn't count for Trendsetter bonus points because the book has more than 1,000 ratings (1,306), and the author has been shelved more than 3,300 times (11,635) ☹

I read 318 pages in May, I started in April but didn't read much of it. Also I did think the "shelved" for the author was less than 3300. Maybe I'm not reading the correct part, where would I find how often the author is shelved?

Hi Andrea, sorry, I missed that you'd put down 318 pages! I'm afraid that you can't earn bonus points on books started before May, so it wouldn't really matter in this case, but to find out how many times an author has been shelved, you go to their goodreads page, so Claire Gibson's is here - https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and then right under the bit about the author (there isn't really one for this author), you click on either the bit that says 'Claire Gibson’s books', which is above the list of her books, or on the bit that says ' · 1 distinct work' - they take you to the same page, which is here - https://www.goodreads.com/author/list... and then right at the top there is a picture of the author, and it says -
'Claire Gibson
Average rating 4.22 · 1,385 ratings · 255 reviews · shelved 11,776 times'
so in this example the author has been shelved 11,776 times.
Hope that helps ☺

Hi Katie, this one wouldn't count for Trendsetter bonus points now because it has too many ratings, you can claim Bandwagon bonus points as the author's have been shelved over 100,000 times, and the book has been buddy read before May, so you'll still get the same points ☺
