Thank you!

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Just wanted to clarify something right quick :)

For the alternates that have a link to a shelf, they're on a particular shelf. If you're going with the alternate any time that's a spot with a shelf as the alternate, your book must be shelved exactly as the shelf is listed. For example, the re-read shelf means that's is shelved as such, not that you have to re-read a book.

Each team has on post 4 of their thread, above the alternate list a mini rundown of each type of alternate that's used, i.e. color, shelf, author etc.

Kayla (kaylaschwae) | 491 comments omg... I'm so super bummed... I did research on my Ipad and when I read this book it said it wasn't apart of a series but when i added it to my review it said it was a #3.5.... Now I have to find a whole new book and read it before tomorrow is that correct??? Help please!!!

Christmas Letters


message 111: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments It looks like a #3 to me, when you were looking on your iPad was it here at GR?


message 112: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (kaylaschwae) | 491 comments Yes it was but I was looking on the GR app I think.


message 113: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments I'm on the app right now and looking on it, it does look like a standalone. It's obviously not, but I'll let it go this week lol. It's your first time playing and I probably could of made that mistake myself even. Guess that should be something for all of us to think about each week lol


message 114: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (kaylaschwae) | 491 comments absolutely.... I won't be doing my book picking from the app anymore that is for sure. I'll still try to see if I can get another book done by tomorrow night because I feel bad but thank you so much Jenne!!! I'll be sure to let my team know for sure not to do what I did. lol


message 115: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments I'm kinda glad it happened, it's good to know for future reference. I use the app ever bit as much as the browser.


message 116: by Christina T (new)

Christina T (crysteena73) | 1040 comments I have noticed the app on my kindle just doesn't have the features I like (like seeing series books with only a click or adding the book links) plus when I look at posts I have to scroll through all of them to see the newest which is a bummer when some of my groups have threads that are 500+ comments long so I try not to use the app much. In a pinch it does work though. Thanks for pointing out that out though. I never would have thought about it either.

I never even thought that there would be a difference! Might be good to remind everyone in the basic rules to always double check with the browser.


message 118: by Hina (new)

Hina (hinaj) | 514 comments The GR app does not show a lot of information, but the one I would really like them to fix is to show the series of the books. For that reason, I usually choose books on the browser just to be on the safe side.

Christina....I read this week that said GR app on the kindle will be updated with some new things...

JoAnne (joannemwct) | 2511 comments Since we are rolling twice tonight (midnight CT) each team member can read their next two books at their own pace and post their reviews without waiting for the others on the team correct? Just can't roll on 12/5 unless everyone on the team has posted both reviews before then, correct?


message 120: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Right and if anyone doesn't think they can pull off 2 with the holiday just let me know :)

Thanks Jenne - just wanted to clarify that if I read both this weekend (I'm thinking positively here) that I could post both and not worry about it again until the 5th!


message 122: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments You could :)
I'd like to do the same, I should be able to knock out some audios getting ready for Thanksgiving.

:)
Some day I'll get into audios. Ones I've heard the voices never match what I "hear" in my head as I read.


Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 143 comments Just out of curiosity, do we have to read our books in order of these two rolls or the other way around as long as I get the two books done by the next roll?


message 125: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments That's up to you. Just let me know before they're due if you (this is for everyone not singling you out lol) can't make the deadline because of travel etc.


Angie ~aka Reading Machine~ (wolffaerie17) | 2160 comments Jenne~Would this cover work for mode of transportation Thrill Ride (Black Knights Inc., #4) by Julie Ann Walker ?


message 127: by Joeera (new)

Joeera Jenne i hope this is ok for tattoo

City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Angie you're good :)
Joeera I can't tell if that's scars or tattoos. I'll enlarge it after I get back from getting the kiddos to school.


message 129: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Joeera, it'll work :)


Angie ~aka Reading Machine~ (wolffaerie17) | 2160 comments Thank you!

SandyC (sandyc88) | 1202 comments Hello! I am wondering if this is ok for Silver/Gray:

The Likeness (Dublin Murder Squad, #2) by Tana French


message 132: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments For sure :)


message 133: by JoAnne (new)

JoAnne (joannemwct) | 2511 comments Is the spreadsheet linked yet?


message 134: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Yep, post 2 or 3 on each team's thread :)


message 135: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Happy Thanksgiving!!!


Angie ~aka Reading Machine~ (wolffaerie17) | 2160 comments When we spot our spot tonite or in morning. Should we use our original post or make a new one?


message 137: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Either way is ok with the reviews but do put the new roll in a new post if you don't mind :)


Angie ~aka Reading Machine~ (wolffaerie17) | 2160 comments Okay thank you!


message 139: by Hilary (new)

Hilary (bookboss) I am sorry if this has already been asked... But can we use a book that we might already have in progress that happens to fit a roll, or do we have to start the book after the roll?


message 140: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments It's gotta be started after the roll.


message 141: by Book Concierge (new)

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 2457 comments Looking ahead and trying to plan some reads ...

Does this cover The New Yorkers by Cathleen Schine
count as: NO people / 1 person / headless person?


message 142: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments It'll work for one person and headless person.

Thanks ... entering it into the spreadsheet now.


message 144: by Sheila (new)

Sheila (sheilaj) Jenne I have a team member that would like to read

If You Knew Jack by M.C. Lee this week as a 2. It lists as a sequel to another book but not as a series book 2. Will that work?


message 145: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments No, it very well could be but it's not listed as a #2. I even clicked on the authors page too. Since I use GR listing as the rule it won't work :(


message 146: by Sheila (new)

Sheila (sheilaj) Ok, Jenne, I'll let her know. Thanks for the speedy reply.

Too bad since Amazon does list it as If You Knew Jack (The Center Book 2)


message 148: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) Is it ok if the book is in a different language?


message 149: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Yep :)


message 150: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) Thanks
