Thank you so much! also I have a quick question if I may? I am not receiving any notifications about anything here on GoodReads, is there I can talk to about this or know how I can get help to fix this issue?

[Amanda Setasha]

Do you mean notifications in general? That would be under your settings. :)

Also, if you mean email notifications, you have to verify your email for that. Sometimes it messes up if they send you too many and you have to verify multiple times.

Yes I just meant notifications in general, thank you for your help, I'll go see if I can fix that issue. I have been missing way to much lol ;)

[faith]

sarah, what are the rules regarding books that we started reading less than a year ago, but put down? can we start that book over and use it for the challenge?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I'm like 75% sure yes. As long as there isn't a 'read' date then you can just restart it and it counts.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Faith, if it's a book that you started reading, but didn't finish reading, then you have two options -

1st option - carry on reading from where you got up to, and claim points for the number of pages read in June only,

2nd option - restart the book again from the beginning, and earn page points +/- buddy read points, and complete a description using the book,

Just let us know which option you're choosing when you post your review ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Bookbuyer ☺

NP.

How are you? Has it been a good day so far? ^-^

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Busy but not bad ☺ You?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Good. I was up a 4:30 with puppy. I wish she would go to bed earlier and also sleep later but at least it's not 1 am like it was a couple of weeks ago. lol.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

There is that!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Yup. Although then she slept at 7. It all depends on when you want to sleep. lol.

Hi Sarah, just a question:
Would In the Darkness count for "read a book which has the word Dark in the title" ?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I’m like 95% sure because it actually contains ‘dark’ in the word

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

*it would count

[Vivi]

Thanks Anna 🙂

[Carolyn]

Hey, Sarah. Could you restart The Glittering Court thread? I'm starting it a little bit early.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

If you want to start it right away in the June thread comment 7 I believe Sarah has left the ‘reset’ thingy.

[Carolyn]

Okay. This sounds like something I'm gonna need to do on my computer. Thank you, Anna!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Np

[Carolyn]

I figured something out. I copied and pasted the stars from another buddy read, but I changed the date. Is that okay? I didn't do anything bad, did I?

Yes, that's fine ☺

Sorry, I think you've reset it now, I've changed the date of the thread title so it just says June 6th now ☺

Oh, and Bookbuyer's right, the reset/breaker thing is in message 7 of the planned buddy reads thread so that it's available if people need to use it ☺

Okay. Thank you.

Can I use for any category?

[Tiera]

Quirks wrote: "Can I use for any category?"

It fits the description book over 500 pages. Futuristic/Skill

Also 35 people have tagged it physical. Industrial/Physical

Also 64% of people have rated it 5 stars. Medieval Skill

Also the second Author has a Y in his name. Aztec Physical.

So it can be used for all categories.

Thanks! I was mostly concerned if I'd come under illustrated books or something.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Quirks, I checked the book just to make sure, and the copyright page says this -

'Names: Kaufman, Amie, author. | Kristoff, Jay, author. | Lu, Marie, illustrator.'

There are also several other copyrights for blueprints and insignias and things, so we would have to classify this book as illustrated. I will add the series to the list of books we classify as illustrated on the main rules thread.

If you still want to read this one you'll get +2 page points +/-2 buddy read points x

Thanks Tiera ☺

[Tiera]

Ahhh my bad I didn’t even check that! Sorry for getting your hopes up Quirks!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's not your fault, it's not obvious some times ☺

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

It really isn't. And also it varies from edition to edition sometimes. :)

[Shae]

Can
Be used for
Read a book which has the letter 'C' in the title or author's name (for Clues). (Eg: Carry On.)

It doesn’t say that c has to be at the start of the word, but the examples show it at the start. So thought I would check first.

[Shae]

And do alternate titles count for
Read a book which has 5 words in the title. (We will accept 'A', 'I', or a number as a word, but any words after a colon ':' will not count.) (Eg: I Want It That Way)

So for example

Hi Shae, the 'C' can be anywhere in the title or author's name, so Hitched: Volume Three would be fine ☺

* Foreign editions with different titles may be used to complete descriptions as long as they are made up of recognisable English letters. Please link to the edition you are using when posting your review.

So Al final mueren los dos would count as a title with 5 words in it ☺

No worries!

And thanks Sarah!
