Winter 14/15 20.10 - Goodreads Feature

[Tobey]

Man, The Goldfinch list seems to change almost hourly!

From it, I would like to add (using the link, not the arrows): The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

You're good on the one, Tobey.

[Tobey]

Again from The Goldfinch using the header, can I please reserve Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

Also from same but using the arrows, The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters

You're good on these, Tobey.

Hi! I have a few to request.

From A Tree Grows in Brooklyn:

My Antonia / O Pioneers!
The Age of Innocence

From The Diviners:

Lives of Girls and Women

From Revolutionary Road:

The Sot-Weed Factor

Thank you!

You're good for My Antonia and The Age of Innocence. I don't see O Pioneers on the list - did I miss it?

You're good for the others.

[Claire]

Hi there - sorry, I just meant My Antonia - for some reason the add book/author link is only showing that edition that also contains O Pioneers! when I try to add it.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - this is the one I'd like to add.

Thanks for approving!

[Miriam]

I'd like to request

from Orfeo -- How to be both and The Unamericans: Stories

I'd also like Kitchen ala Kafka on the Shore, if it is still available?

You're good with these Miriam. While Kitchen isn't on the Kafka page anymore, it was previously approved. Any of those titles previously approved can be read for this task.

[Miriam]

Thanks Elizabeth.

[Claire]

Hi! A few requests:

From The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - Interpreter of Maladies

From A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - What is the What

Thanks!

You're good with those. Interpreter of Maladies is superb, by the way.

[Claire]

You're good with those. Interpreter of Maladies is superb, by the way.

Thanks! It's been on my TBR shelf forever, so I'm glad to have an excuse to finally read it.

[Cory Day]

I just noticed The Rosie Project is on the list from The Goldfinch - may as well lock that in since I own it, even though I have way too many books to read right now...

I think someone claimed it for other tasks earlier, so I assume they can get extra combo points now?

Nice find, Cory. Yes, anyone who has claimed it previously in this challenge will get combo points for this.

[Claire]

Happy Friday! I'd like to request An Untamed State by Roxane Gay, which I found on the list from The Goldfinch.

(I'm reading An Untamed State right now, and wasn't sure if I'd be able to use it so I'm happy about this find!)

You're good for it!

[Sam]

Not sure if it's already been checked, but from The Goldfinch: The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P..

Got it now!

[Sam]

Thanks Elizabeth! I hated the book, but at least now I can claim combo points. Trying to look on the bright side! Haha.

[Sam]

Krista, I know you found another spot for it, but All the Light We Cannot See is on the list for The Goldfinch now!

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I'll add it for the combo points!

Thanks! I stopped watching the Goldfinch list soon after Elizabeth (?) found it on the list for 20.3

I'll see how I scored it in my original post, and add the points if appropriate.

I should update the original points post for this book, right?

No, the score-keeper never goes back to check previous posts once they have been added to the database. If during the course of a challenge you find extra points, please make a new post.

[Claire]

Hi Liz - I need to add combo points to How to be both and All the Light We Cannot See, as they have both shown up on these lists for Goodreads Features. Should these be two separate posts, or should I combine them into one? I'm basing this off your suggestion above to make a new post if you find extra points. Thanks!

[Kate S]

Claire, you can combine them in a single post, but please include the original post numbers for each book.

[Claire]

Thanks, will do!

[Claire]

I'd like to request We Need New Names - found from A Constellation of Vital Phenomena. Thank you!

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

You're good on that, Claire. You might want to note this is task 20.10, not 20.9. That might make a difference in your combo claims in the Completed Tasks thread.

[Claire]

Oops - thanks for pointing it out! I'll go back and edit my earlier post.

Doh! I knew I didn't have something quite right.
Okay, I'll add a new post, reference my original post claiming points for All the Light We Cannot See, and add the additional 5 points in the new post.

Whew! Thanks for the info Liz.
