30.6 - MegSCL's Task: Part and Whole

Book 1: Read a collection or anthology. This can be short stories, novellas, poems, essays etc. There must be at least 3 authors/contributors, listed as authors or in the main page description of the book. If the authors are not listed, you can ask for help in the Anyone with librarian status thread.

Book 2: Choose one of the authors who contributed to Book 1. Read a book that they have solo authored (e.g. a novel or a collection of stories written by the one author).

Example:
book 1 - Manhattan Noir
book 2 - China Trade by S.J. Rozan

NOTE: Sometimes, the Goodreads record includes more info for some editions than others. If the edition you read for book 1 does not list authors in either the author field or the book's description, please include a link in your post to the edition that does contain the info.

This thread is now open.

The anthology I want to use for book one is The Usual Santas: A Soho Crime Holiday Anthology.

The book I want to use for book 2 is An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good. The story from book 1 is also in book 2. Is that ok?

Thank you.

[Meg]

Yes that's OK. Although I think it technically means you would need to read the story twice, so that you complete each book!
The first book will need some edits by a GR librarian though to clarify the authors/contributors.

Great. I am a member of the GR Librarian group, so I'll post a request to add the list. Thank you.

Would Midnight Kiss work for this? It's 3 short stories by 3 different listed authors.

[Meg]

Yes that will work

Hi -- I'd like to claim this anthology for Book 1

Philosophy of Technology: The Technological Condition: An Anthology

There are more than 50 authors featured but none of the editions on GoodReads lists the authors. I don't think asking a GR librarian to add any subset of them to the main page seems very reasonable given that there are so many articles and authors with no explicit prioritization.

Is there any way you could approve the book for me using the official publisher's Table of Contents here? If not, is there an easier way I could count this toward the challenge?

Thanks in advance!

[Meg]

Sorry, the moderators have said that they will only accept information that's on goodreads. So you'll only be able to claim it if a librarian adds the authors. Adding a list to the description would be the easiest way

It's rather down and dirty, but I've added the essay contents to your cited record. (title/author)

Hope that helps!

Oh wow, thank you so much Kathy! It's quite a heavy tome so I'm glad it could count towards something.
